Empowering Women in Business: The Story Behind Explicit Essentials

Empowering Women in Business: The Story Behind Explicit Essentials

Curse words, confidence, and clean self-care products—because “ladylike” is whatever we say it is.

Who We Are: Bold Women. Big Energy. Better Products.

Explicit Essentials is a women-owned and operated business powered by a team of badass women who pour love—and a little bit of sass—into every product we make. From our sugar scrubs to our shower steamers, everything is made in small batches so you get fresh, high-quality, intentional skincare that smells as good as it feels.

Explicit Essentials is more than just a self-care brand—it’s a love letter to women who do the most, and a story about what happens when one woman dares to build something that looks like her, feels like her, and smells like a damn dream.


How It Started: One Woman. One Vision. One Big “Why Not?”

Explicit Essentials was founded with a clear mission: to create intentional, funny, affordable self-care products for women who want to feel good without compromising their values—or their bank accounts.

No weird ingredients. No luxury markup. No outdated ideas of what beauty should be.

Just clean, cruelty-free bath and body products that hit different.

 


The Real Talk Behind the Brand Name

We don’t tone it down. We don’t shrink ourselves. And we’re definitely not here to be told what’s “appropriate” for women.

Curse words? Part of the brand.
Bold opinions? We’ve got ‘em.
Being told to smile more? Blocked.

Being “ladylike” means whatever you want it to mean. Maybe it’s soaking in a bath with wine and trap music. Maybe it’s showing up to a meeting in lip gloss and a don’t-mess-with-me attitude. At Explicit Essentials, we create self-care products for women who define femininity on their own damn terms.


Why Being Women-Owned Matters (Spoiler: It’s Everything)

We’re not just woman-owned—we’re woman-run.
That means every bath salt, lotion, and gloss is mixed, poured, and packed by hands that hustle hard and don’t cut corners.

When you shop with us, you’re supporting:

  • A female founder who bootstrapped a dream into a business

This is what women supporting women looks like—in real life, and in your cart.

Built With Intention. Made For You.



Final Word?

We’re not here to blend in—we’re here to stand the hell out.
We’re not sorry. We’re not quiet.
We’re just Explicit Essentials—and we’re redefining what self-care, beauty, and what being a woman can really look like.

So when you shop Explicit Essentials, you’re not just getting self-care.
You’re joining the movement. One bottle, one soak, one badass woman at a time.
