Queen Esther

Delicate florals and precious oils rise from the ancient royal court. A line for those seeking glowing, rejuvenated skin and a nourished microbiome.

Named for the Jewish Persian Queen revered for her beauty,
Who rendered her knowledge with delicate poise and coy elegance,
Unearthing a dark fate that shattered her lovestruck King in agony,
Who bestowed on her unbounded defense and the Persian army,
Fulfilling her destiny as queen and savior.
Radiant, feminine, and powerful. A Queen like no other.

 

Edwin Long, “An Ancient Custom,” 1877

The Queen Esther line is inspired by the entire year of beauty treatments Esther received in the ancient Persian royal court before she became the Queen of Persia and legendary savior of the Jewish people. The first six months she was lavished upon with beauty treatments using myrrh essential oil, and in the second six months, she would have experienced treatments using the finest saffron, floral hydrosols, clays, and botanicals.

The luxurious products in the Queen Esther line help to preserve and restore the skin’s natural microbial balance by de-polluting, revitalizing and deeply moisturizing skin using only the finest all-natural botanical ingredients. Prime among these ingredients is the sublime, unparalleled reviving power of saffron, the world’s most expensive spice – so precious it is more expensive than gold. Rather than utilize whole saffron threads carelessly, a lack of respect that would render saffron connoisseurs aghast, our unique, proprietary double-refined method reduces our potent “sargol” and “super negin” saffron stigmas into an incredibly fine powder that truly harnesses the amazing skin restorative properties of saffron.

Rich, restorative and non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) oils such as pomegranate seed oil, evening primrose oil, Japanese camellia seed oil, marula oil, calendula oil, and sea buckthorn oil help fight inflammation, reduce fine lines, balance sebum production and even skin tone. Luxurious essential oils including myrrh, frankincense, geranium, neroli, jasmine, German chamomile, and ylang ylang draw upon thousand-year-old skincare traditions to nurture radiant, glowing skin. Over time, skin texture becomes softer, skin tone more even, and skin glows with vitality. Delicate florals and precious oils rise from the ancient royal court. A line for those seeking glowing, rejuvenated skin and a nourished microbiome.

The entrancing star of the Queen Esther line is the coveted Queen Esther Royal Court Flawless Facial In A Bar™, which masterfully condenses the elements of a traditional spa facial (cleansing, exfoliating, impurity-extracting, hydrating, toning and moisturizing) into one visually captivating bar. The Queen Esther Microbiome Restore Botanical Serum is ideal for use either before bed or before applying SPF and makeup, and helps skin defy environmental pollutants and shine with radiance through healthfulness. The incredible Queen Esther Divine Ambrosia Under Eye Nectar is like no other; the tiny bottle is a rich, powerhouse oil blend containing at least 160 drops, lasting over 2.5 months with daily use and utterly transforming the health and youthfulness of the eye area. All of the products in the Queen Esther line induce radiant, healthy skin, and at all times, preserve our brand’s utmost respect for Mother Earth.
