About
Essential Alignment is as concerned about health as it is beauty.
Kinesiologist Kari Hoskin has helped people achieve wellbeing on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels for over twenty years. The Essential Alignment Skincare range embodies the principals of wellness and was a natural evolution for Kari. The name originated to reflect the range’s wholistic approach to healing and self-care, honouring yourself on all levels and being in alignment with your essential self.

We work with what is found in the natural world around us, creating botanical extracts for our skincare formulations that are pure and nourishing. Paired with proven active ingredients, organic oils and hydrosols, our aim is to provide potent, natural skincare that delivers maximum hydration and gentle nourishment to skin.

Kinesiology is a complimentary health modality that connects with the innate wisdom of the body to guide towards balance on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, by working holographically on all levels of the being. Understanding that each of these levels affects and is affected by the others, the overall aim of this work is to bring balance and wholeness to support the navigation of life with greater ease.
Philosophy.
True beauty comes from within. It begins by honouring yourself on all levels and being in alignment with your essential self. Loving nurturance of self and living harmoniously with the natural world is a great place to begin. Self-care, an honest relationship with yourself and listening to your body is essential.
The quality of ingredients, and the intention, processes and energy used to create our products, all support the body and being to resonate as nature intended. Shine on the outside, as well as within.
The Founder.
Kari Hoskin has held a long fascination with the gifts and qualities of the natural world. She has worked in wholistic wellness as a kinesiology practitioner and teacher for over 20 years.
Unable to use most commercially available products due to skin sensitivity, Kari cared for her skin minimally with homemade products for many years. In response to the changing needs of her skin over time and applying her knowledge and experience in natural health, Kari began utilising the abundant plant life around her rural home to make skincare. Embarking upon more advanced formulations, she realised there was much to learn and went on to complete formalised study in Organic Skincare Formulation and Cosmetic Science. Her continued investigation and experimentation led her to develop the Essential Alignment Skincare range.
Along with continuing skincare development, Kari teaches kinesiology and other wholistic workshops. She runs a successful kinesiology practice in Daylesford, in the Central Highlands of Victoria, Australia.
