What types of products or services do you offer?
Autry’s Essence offers a line of high-quality, natural topicals and wellness products.
This includes targeted eczema relief products designed to clean, repair and soften sensitive skin; a curated selection of hair, skin and face body oils; and “Clean Body, Bright Mind” bundles, which pair kid-friendly soaps with superhero coloring books.
How do you help your customers?
Our mission is to become a trusted go-to source for families dealing with sensitive skin, especially by cleaning and repairing their eczema and making their skin soft again.
As we look to expand from local markets into more brick-and-mortar spaces, we are seeking partners who value natural, effective skincare and local craftsmanship.
How did the business get started?
I started the business in my home in 2024.
How do you see your business growing into the future?
I hope to evolve from soap bars to full eczema-relief kits that include body butters or balms. I’m also working on growing sales beyond Akron as Autry’s Essence becomes the trusted go-to source for families dealing with sensitive skin.
