Our Philosophy
It started with “Creating Memories” in mind. The creative duo, Borja & Ling decided to begin a journey of transforming memories into crafts (while creating more memory along the way)—es:tudio is born.
At es:tudio, they understand the beauty of simple, committed to homemade recipes made from whole, good-for-you ingredients. They formulate everything from scratch, sourcing from trusted suppliers, so they know exactly what's in it and how it's going to work.
Handcrafted Natural Soap is one of the first projects. They handcrafted their very first soap in 2019 as a gift to their friends and family. Pandemic hit in 2020, people have never washed their hands as much as before, and they needed a good soap that’s not only sanitized well but also nourishes your skin. They started handmade natural soap, as they wanted to have 100% control over the ingredients used. They have worked hard on mastering the cold process method, formulating specific scent to evoke each memory. After a few falls, lots of practice, a large dose of patience, they have created a unique formula that not only looks and smells amazing but is also kind to your skin and our planet.
