Our Story
Behind the Brand
Jenni Kayne founded Oak Essentials in 2021, inspired by her own desire for long-term skin health. Each formula is deeply hydrating, naturally effective, and designed to support the skin as it ages.
An extension of her lifestyle brand, the collection is thoughtfully curated and shaped by a belief in simple daily rituals.
With luxurious textures and gently lingering scents, Oak Essentials quietly elevates the everyday—while grounding you in the moment.
Our Approach
Oak's Clean Standard
Rooted in nature, our assortment of clean products are made simply and without compromise. From ingredients to packaging, everything we do is created with you and the earth in mind. Our entire line is cruelty-free, non-GMO, formulated to meet the strictest EU and UK standards, organic and natural origin whenever possible, and free from cyclic silicones, colorants, sulfates, phthalates, parabens, PEGs, petrolatum, mineral oil, and nanoparticles.
Sustainability
Minimal Waste Packaging
Made in the USA, our product cartons and shipping boxes are printed with soy-based inks and made of 100% recyclable materials. All new product cartons are made from tree-free paper. But that’s not all: our product cartons are also PCF (processed chlorine free) certified and Green Seal certified, meaning our packaging is made with a minimum of 30% post-consumer fiber. Wherever possible, we use glass packaging that is easily recyclable. Many of our plastic packaging containers are made with a content of PCR (post-consumer recycled resin), meaning we are using plastics that have been recycled from other products.
