A rich and diversified land nested along the Mediterranean Sea.

My wife and I have been in the USA for more than 20 years. We are originally from France. We wanted to share part of our Mediterranean heritage and part of this multicultural land that make it so fascinating and rich in colors, scents, landscapes and traditions.

This body of water, bringing life to so many countries, has seen the origin of our civilization and has many gifts to offer. One of its gifts is beauty as history told us through writing from the Latin to the Egyptian and Greek civilizations.

New Venture Founded For Your Well-being

After the sale of our food company, we searched for a new venture and our interest focused on cosmetic products. We decided to look deeper in this area as food and cosmetics are not far related; both speaking to your senses with a desire of quality.

When we tried to decipher the language behind the cosmetic formulation, we were astonished by the ingredients found in those formulations. We decided to take the challenge of bringing a quality product with a focus on more natural ingredients.

Your well-being starts with our strong awareness, our firm engagement in quality and our constant quest for beauty. We scrupulously selected the ingredients to offer you peace of mind.

We want to offer you a sense of well-being in a society where time is so precious.

Our scents are made especially for you in a city called Grasse in France. Grasse is the Perfume capital. As we searched for the right scents, our quest brought us to Spain, Italy, Egypt, Morocco.

We will be visiting many others to offer you this uniqueness in the scents. Our scents are like perfume Your life will be enhanced by this gift from Méditerranée.

Questionable Ingredients Not Used In Our Products

Paraben is a cheap questionable preservative. It was more difficult and it has taken us over a year to develop our products. But, with the help of a laboratory in France, we have successfully created formulations which are FREE of parabens (methyl, propyl, ethyl,...). These ingredients are used in 95% of all cosmetic products on the market. If this e-mail serves only to make you aware of the risk these ingredients may posed to your health, we will have accomplished part of our goal. Please see links below for more information:

Four Scents For You

We offer 4 scents from which you may choose, depending on your mood. These collections are made with essential oils that were created for us by a perfumer in Grasse, France. The 4 original scents: Relax, Energy, Renew, and Sensual are developed following an aromatherapy formula to match your changing moods.

What about our name?

ELLESCA was created by bringing 2 words from 2 different countries together.

PELLEJO - Skin in Spanish
FRESCA - Fresh in Italian

  "A Fresh Skin"

The ELLESCA Difference:
We use beauty products to enhance our mood, our looks, and elevate our spirit. We certainly hope and deserve that these products do not harm us in the process, but most on the market do.

In searching for a product that we felt was FREE of the ingredients that could cause harm or have far reaching effects on our health, two years ago, my wife and I developed a line of bath & body products FREE of much debated ingredients like "paraben, mineral oil, sodium lauryl sulfate."

These products are made in France and were developed with nature, health and beauty in mind. We are using natural ingredients like grape seed oil, and argan oil, whose inherent properties will benefit your skin.
