Essential Living

Essential Living was founded in 1991 based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs with a focus on natural wellness and nutrition. We are committed to providing natural lifestyle products that improve one’s general wellbeing and quality of life. We take pride in the extensive range of reputable international brands under our care. At present, we supply to over 250 stores in Singapore and export to surrounding countries. Our customers may also order direct off our online store on our website.

We prefer products that are natural and organic without unnecessary allergens, unwanted chemicals and genetically modified organisms. We always look for a quality that is an improvement upon what is generally commercially available. For instance we do not believe milk is generally a beneficial product for people to consume, unless you are a baby and are being breast fed. So we distribute good quality soy and rice milk instead.

Similarly people generally consume far too much sugar. So if you need a good sweetener, we have a natural product called Xylosweet. We also generally do not get sufficient nutrition from our diet for the environments we live in, so we have selected high quality nutritional supplements and work with advisors such as Patrick Holford from the Institute for Optimum Nutrition and distribute his products and books.

We look for products that are good value for money. For instance the nutritional products we distribute are generally considered to be of premium value. However if you compare the ingredients in our product with a cheaper product, you may find that our product should be priced five times higher than the cheaper product, and yet perhaps it is only 20% more, so by buying our product you are getting far better value for your money.
