Esker creates intentional, plant-based bodycare products that harness the efficacy of botanical actives to restore and nourish skin while elevating self-care into meaningful rituals. The ethos centers on honoring the whole body and transforming simple routines into moments of nourishment and calm — because “the bathroom is the last sane place on earth” and your bodycare should live up to that standard. Esker is committed to product transparency and responsibly sourced ingredients that are safe for the body, planet, and the people behind the products.
Esker sits at the intersection of clean beauty, ritual-driven self-care, and functional body results. The products blend modern plant biochemistry with time-tested bodycare techniques — tools like the Body Plane and Dry Brush paired with botanical oils — to offer a holistic approach to body health.
Esker was launched in 2018 by Shannon Davenport. After a decade of working in New York City as a trend forecaster, where she helped major corporate brands shape their identities based on her research across beauty, design, art, and consumer trends, she decided to launch Esker as a way to act on her own ideas and build the brand she wanted to see in the world. She knew she wanted to create a brand with integrity and honesty as its cornerstones, and to make clean, safe products that nourish the body and elevate the way we care for it.
Esker was born right around the same time as Shannon's first little one, and she introduced the line with three custom-crafted body oil formulas aimed to celebrate the diversity and power of essential oils, and to function as a necessary step in any body care ritual. She pulled from a versatile range of plants to create a restorative, clarifying, and firming oil, each one carefully formulated with responsibly-sourced ingredients to nourish skin from head to toe.

PURPOSE
To shift bodycare from rushed routines to intentional rituals that support skin wellness, overall balance, and nourishment through clean, plant-forward formulations and tools inspired by ancient traditions.
PRODUCT PHILOSOPHY
Every product is designed to elevate bodycare into a ritual using plant-powered actives that nourish, restore, and resurface skin without fillers, harsh synthetics, or irritation. Efficacy meets simplicity: formulations are intuitive, fast-absorbing, and crafted to support skin performance and sensory delight.
