The ESPA difference
POSTED 01 May 2013 . BY Kate Corney
ESPA’s results-driven, natural skincare products and world-renowned treatments are the choice of the best spas and therapists across the globe. Our award-winning products are, on average, 99 per cent natural and only use the finest ingredients that work in harmony with your skin, helping your skin to help itself.

ESPA is run by two generations of a British family with more than 40 years experience in the spa industry. Our obsession with ingredient and product quality has led to the construction of our state-of-the-art factory in Somerset where we manufacture all of our products. It has taken big steps but our factory is now licensed and accredited by the Soil Association, Ecocert, the Organic Food Federation and the Fairtrade Foundation.

ESPA never use the world ‘partner’ lightly. We believe that the key to success is working hand in hand with our clients. It is a partnership in the truest sense of the word and as such ESPA offer unparalleled support in: Business Management, Therapist Training, Marketing and Promotions, Branded Materials and Testers alongside incomparable Customer Service all helping to meet the needs of your business.

Sue Harmsworth, founder, ESPA International says: “It’s our personal touch and genuine care about your business that really sets us apart, giving you the on-going business support and award-winning therapist training you need, day in, day out. But most importantly, we recognise that new relationships require even more dedication to establish a successful commercial return. That’s why we commit the time to work together, getting it right, first time – that’s the ESPA difference.”

A selection of ESPA’s most recent skincare awards are:

Best Spa Brand - SpaFinder Wellness 2012 Readers’ Choice Awards

Best Everyday Scrub - Red magazine Best of Beauty 2012 - ESPA’s Invigorating Body Reviver

Best Spa Product - SpaChina Awards 2012 - ESPA’s 24 Hour Eye Moisturiser
