Eight questions, ninety seconds, and we'll hand you a routine, not a search box.
How Essence nasal diffuser rings work, how long a scent ring lasts, how to refresh rings with essential oil and a soaking bay, and how to pick a scent for focus, sleep, stress, nausea or clear breathing.
A tiny reusable ring that rests under your nose and carries your scent with you. No cords, no batteries, no cloud of mist. Just you, breathing better.
Essence started when our founder, Mike DeLeeuw, was stuck on a plane surrounded by smells he didn't choose. His question, what if there was a better way to breathe, became the first reusable nasal diffuser ring.
Medical-grade silicone, pure essential oils, and a design that all but disappears. Today the ring rides along with nurses on 12-hour shifts, travelers on red-eyes, and anyone who wants their next breath to be better than their last. Yes, this is the same Essence you saw on Shark Tank.
Read the whole story
The ring rests under your nose, its two soft tips just inside each nostril. Nearly invisible, completely hands-free.
Three slow breaths through the nose to start. The oil does the rest, for the whole shift, flight, or night.
Rinse with mild soap, add 1-3 drops of oil, and soak at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. 30+ uses per ring.
100% natural therapeutic-grade essential oils. No additives, no fillers. Rings in medical-grade silicone.
Yes, that's the whole idea. Rinse it with mild soap and water, let it dry completely, add 1-3 drops of essential oil, and let it soak at least 4 hours, ideally overnight while you sleep. By morning the silicone has drunk the oil back in and you're good for another day. One ring handles 30+ rounds of this before it retires, which works out to pennies a wear.
100% pure essential oils only, ours or your own. Skip anything cut with alcohol or fragrance oils, they break down the silicone and smell worse doing it. Most oils do best mixed with a drop or two of carrier oil, and "hot" oils like cinnamon or oregano should always be diluted before they get anywhere near your nose. When in doubt, start with one drop.
Shipped means it has physically left our shop in Utah, usually within one business day of your order. Smaller orders ride without tracking, that's part of how we keep shipping cheap and the rings $7.99. If it's been more than 10 business days and your mailbox is still boring, email cs@essencering.com and a real person will chase it down.
Most orders land in 3-5 business days anywhere in the US. Rural routes and holiday seasons can stretch that to 10. We ship from Utah, so the mountain west gets spoiled and the coasts get patience practice. Longer than 10 business days, email cs@essencering.com and we'll make it right.
Yes, and it's a real program, not a coupon code. Spas, medspas, dental offices, hotels, and event planners stock the ring, that's how it ended up in amenity trays and on night shifts in the first place. Email sales@essencering.com with roughly what you have in mind and you'll get a pricing sheet back from a human, usually same day.
