Our Mission To change the way the world views and uses cosmetics through ethical sourcing, education, transparency, and challenging the status quo.

How did we get our name?

Espero is the Esperanto word for Hope.

Back in 1887, Dr. L.L. Zamenhof conceived an idea to better international relations and connections.

His idea was to unite the world through a common second language that could be spoken universally to elliminate language barriers.

He would call this auxillary language, Esperanto (meaning One Who Hopes in the language itself).

It was believed that world peace could be achieved if we all understood each other.

This philosophy is deeply rooted in our company. Just as Esperanto aspires to change the world through language, we aspire to change the way the world views and uses cosmetics.

Join us on our path...

Spread Inclusion

Challenge the status quo that beauty products are for women only. We believe that cosmetics do not need to be unnecessarily gendered. We will not develop a product that targets, or is marketed towards, any specific gender. Everyone deserves to look and feel however they would like to; there is no judgement here.

Improve Transparency

We will openly provide a comprehensive list of ingredients for each formula, even in circumstances where we are not required to do so. Access to quality information on each ingredient and it's purpose are available for every ingredient and compound we use. We believe the public has a right to know and understand exactly what is they are buying and using.

Build Confidence

We want to build the confidence of all people, regardless of age, ability, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or circumstance. Our marketing campaigns are clear, with unretouched photos, designed to celebrate diversity, and build the confidence of all individuals.

Inspire Growth

We want to inspire all of our customers to continue growing and improving in their personal lives. Through self-love, self-improvement, and other motivational campaigns and resources we make available.
