We’re honored to officially share that Bare and Iris Milk Fragrances by ESAS have placed in the CertClean Beauty Awards. With Bare taking 1st Place and Iris Milk earning 3rd Place in the Perfume Category.
This recognition means more than a trophy on a shelf. The CertClean Beauty Awards are judged by clean beauty experts who evaluate ingredients, formulation integrity, performance, and transparency. To be selected among so many conscious brands is a true milestone for us, and for clean fragrance as a whole.
Why Bare & Iris Milk Stand Out
Bare: 1st Place Winner
FRESH | CLEAN | SWEET
Clean skin, bottled. Bare captures the feeling of sun-warmed, freshly washed skin. Effortless, light, and quietly radiant. It evokes that just-showered freshness after a long day in the sun: intimate, luminous, and unforgettable. Worn alone, it’s the ultimate everyday fragrance. Layered, it becomes the perfect canvas for every ESAS scent.
-
Top: Bergamot and Sage open with a crisp, sunlit brightness that feels like pure, just-showered skin.
-
Heart: Florals bloom softly, creating a delicate, barely-there floral glow.
-
Base: Orris Root and Tonka Bean melt into a smooth, warm, skin-like finish that’s clean, intimate, and effortlessly addictive
Iris Milk: 3rd Place Winner
VELVETY | FLORAL | CREAMY
A study in quiet elegance and luminous serenity, Iris Milk drapes the skin in a weightless veil of creamy vanilla and silky-smooth milk. Velvety iris and tender lilac bloom in soft focus, their powdery facets melting seamlessly into the warmth of intoxicating vanilla.
We source a gorgeous lilac from Bulgaria and a rich, decadent vanilla from Madagascar - ingredients chosen not only for their beauty, but for their depth and integrity. The result is subtle yet radiant, comforting yet euphoric. Effortless. Ethereal. Endlessly alluring.
Both fragrances represent what ESAS stands for: elevated minimalism, intentional formulation, and scent that feels like second skin.
Our Formulation Philosophy: Why It’s Different
At ESAS, formulation isn’t an afterthought, it’s the foundation. We are proud to be the first MADE SAFE® Certified fragrance brand in the world, setting a new standard for transparency and safety in scent.
We use:
-
Organic sugarcane alcohol sourced from a trusted distillery, never conventional denatured alcohol
-
Coconut-derived glycerin for softness, smooth diffusion, and a skin-like finish
-
Thoughtfully sourced and rigorously vetted botanical ingredients and tinctures
-
Zero phthalates, parabens, synthetic dyes, synthetic fragrance, or hidden toxins
-
100% ingredient transparency, every single ingredient is listed
Our fragrances are also vegan, non-GMO, Leaping Bunny cruelty-free approved, formulated without hormone disruptors, and housed in eco-conscious packaging.
Where many fragrances rely on synthetic stabilizers and fillers to force longevity, we focus on ingredient synergy and skin compatibility. Our scents evolve naturally throughout the day, wearing like silk instead of armor.
Clean should never mean compromising performance. This award validates that it doesn’t have to.
Why We Entered the Clean Beauty Awards
We entered the Clean Beauty Awards to actively participate in accelerating the clean beauty movement.
Fragrance is often the last category to be reformulated in the clean space. We wanted to stand alongside brands pushing transparency forward and prove that luxury and safety can coexist.
Winning isn’t just about us, it’s about shifting standards.
