🌿 About Essential Moments
Crafted with Care. Rooted in Wellness. Inspired by You.
Hi, I’m Mildred, the founder and formulator behind Essential Moments, a handcrafted collection of natural skincare and self-care products created to nourish your body, calm your spirit, and elevate your everyday rituals.
Essential Moments was born from my passion for wholesome wellness and my personal journey toward more intentional, mindful living. I started making products for my family using only the finest natural ingredients, and what began as a personal solution quickly turned into something much more, a way to help others feel seen, cared for, and beautifully supported in their own self-care journey.
Every bar of soap, body butter, body oil, or facial cream is made by hand, in small batches, with ingredients you can trust and love. I focus on using plant-based oils, botanicals, essential oils, and therapeutic clays that deliver real results without harmful fillers or harsh chemicals.
But this business isn’t just about products, it’s about creating moments. Moments to pause. To reset. To feel good in your skin. Whether you're lighting a candle, treating your skin, or nourishing your body with nature’s best, I want each experience to feel personal, peaceful, and powerful.
Thank you for being here. I hope Essential Moments becomes part of your daily rituals as it has mine.
With love,
Mildred T. Hardin
Founder, Essential Moments
