Episencial is the first skin care company to develop all natural and sustainable products specifically for today’s actively healthy families and their green values. Why? Because today everyone knows the importance of making healthy choices for yourself, your family and the planet – but it is not always easy to do, particularly when raising young children. That’s where Episencial comes in.

Episencial skin care products are based upon clinically effective formulas and technologies relied on by skin care professionals in spas and clinics for more than thirty years. Our products are designed to support the skin’s role in the body’s immune system to promote health and wellness as well as beauty.

Episencial was created because our founder, Kim Walls – a skin care expert from the Epicuren family – couldn’t find products for her young sons that met her standards. So, she created the products she – and other green parents – wanted:

• high quality skin care that is affordable
• for the most sensitive skin of young children ages 0 to five
• made exclusively with all natural ingredients; the majority of which are organic
• no unhealthy chemicals, ever
• manufactured under solar power
• beautifully packaged in recycled and sustainable materials featuring art that inspires
• smell terrific using juice extracts – not fragrances

Barefoot Dreams® Inc. was born in 1994 as founder Annette Cook set out to create a precious line of children’s products embracing her design philosophy and a company that would accommodate her commitment to family. Envisioning a collection that was both elegant and soothing to the senses, Annette sought out the silkiest washable satins, and coziest knits in an array of lovely and reassuring colors. With the outstanding success of her first product, the Signature Receiving Blanket, Barefoot Dreams® became a nationally recognized brand, featured in numerous publications and television programs.

Creating a family centered business was a priority for Annette even before she had children of her own. Born and raised in Wisconsin, she is the fifth of six children in a close knit and entrepreneurial family. Diligence, hard work, and the importance of family above all else were core values Annette learned as a child and carried into her professional pursuits.

Shortly after launching Barefoot Dreams®, Annette met and married Stan, the love of her life. Together, the two continued to grow and develop the company in Malibu. To their joy and delight, Barefoot Dreams® soon became a family affair with the birth of their sons, Grayson William, Chase Clayton, and Preston Thomas Cook, their greatest creations and ongoing sources of inspiration. And last but not least came the puppy…their baby girl, Aspen.

The Barefoot Dreams® collection features a variety of soft and luxurious blankets, precious newborn, toddler, and kids wear, and select products for grown ups including sumptuous spa style robes, throws, and blankets. Barefoot Dreams® CozyChic® Robes and throws are featured in 5-Star Resorts and Spas, and are top sellers at Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Fred Segal, just to name a few. From celebrities to grandmas to the modern mom on the go, everyone loves the classic yet hip Barefoot Dreams® designs. All products are washable and dryable, lovingly constructed and packaged by hand.
