The Birth of Argie Essentials

Argie Essentials is a black-owned and woman-owned home-based skin-care company headquartered in Columbia, SC. I am a wife, mom, spiritual leader, and full-time psychiatric social worker who is also obsessed with moisturizing!!! I love the idea that you do not need an array of harmful chemicals to take great care of your hair and skin! I've combined my spirituality and belief in natural remedies to create a deeply satisfying and creative outlet. All our products are handmade, and packaged with love. - Argie

The What

Clean Products For Real People

Whether you are looking for a natural everyday moisturizer or a solution to a longstanding skin condition, Argie Essentials takes the guesswork out of finding products that you can trust. Our products are 100% natural, non-toxic, and cruelty-free, making them safe and effective to use on every member of your household, from the youngest to the oldest.

More Butter, Less Fluff!

Arie Essentials’ body butters and balms are formulated with ethically sourced plant-based ingredients to include Shea butter, Kokum butter, Mango butter, Coconut oil, Apricot oil, Jojoba oil, and Vitamin E. We do not over whip our butters, so they are quite dense, giving you more product in your jar.

One Product, Multiple Uses!

All Argie Essentials products can be used in multiple ways to nourish and moisturize your hair and body. We literally have you covered from head to toe, saving you money and time!

The Why

Argie Essentials was founded when I began my transition to a healthier and more natural lifestyle, focusing not only on what I put in my body but also what I put on my body. After years of using "natural" products, I learned that everything labeled “natural” wasn't actually 100% natural. I researched and experimented with a variety of beauty care products, but failed to find products that were both effective and safe. It also came at a time when I was feeling unfulfilled in life despite my accomplishments. I asked God for direction, and Argie Essentials was born.

I began formulating products in 2019, and by January 2020 we launched. I am absolutely in love with Argie Essentials, and it has become my passion to lovingly create products that people can trust to use on the most intimate parts of themselves and their loved ones. I’m excited and grateful to have you on this journey with me!
