American Handcrafted Philadelphia 2019

Say Hello to Your New (Spin)Body

Philadelphia, PA — No matter your gender, age, skin or hair type, Espinache invites you to discover the natural and nourishing properties of organic spinach. Formulated with a unique blend of potent botanical extracts and organic spinach, Espinache is a handmade and vegan cosmetic company newly launching its (SPIN)body collection.

“We wanted to create an all-inclusive, affordable cosmetic line that is truly for everybody—this is why we opt for natural ingredients, steering clear of harsh chemicals and animal byproducts,” says Dora Sobze, Co-creator of Espinache. All Espinache products are 100% vegan, made with natural ingredients free of silicones, sulfates, parabens, and mineral oils. Scented with unisex fragrances, Espinache is formulated for both men and women. Many of the (SPIN)body products also offer multiuse functionality, providing nourishment and intensive moisture for both hair and skin—all in one!

The full Espinache (SPIN)body collection includes six handmade, spinach-infused, all-natural hair and skin care products including:

  • ESPINACHE GREENLIGHT (SPIN)SUDS BAR
    Spinach-Infused Castile Soap for Face & Body
    A veggie-based castile soap with a meadow-fresh scent combines the green forces of both the land and sea. The scent of energetic sea kelp balanced with earthy oakmoss, subtle citrus, and peppery undertones will leave you refreshed, invigorated and ready to conquer an all new day. Each bar comes included with a reusable storage tin and natural mini exfoliating loofah.
  • SPINACHE BONFIRE (SPIN)SUDS BAR
    Gentle Exfoliating Oatmeal Soap for Face & Body
    A gentle oatmeal soap with just a pinch of texture for light exfoliation, fortified with oatmeal and coconut milk to soothe and soften. Your skin will enjoy an all new clean that tickles your senses and spices up your mood with its musky combination of soothing lavender and earthy sandalwood. Each bar comes included with a reusable storage tin and natural mini exfoliating loofah.

     
  • ESPINACHE (SPIN)THERAPY MOISTURIZER
    Intensive Moisture for Hair & Skin
    Our multiuse moisturizer doubles as both a leave-in hair conditioner and silky smooth body lotion. Infused with a botanical array of sage, rosemary, and sweet basil extracts that smooth, tone, tighten, and brighten. Your hair and skin will look, feel and smell as lush as a garden in bloom.

     
  • ESPINACHE (SPIN)STYLER FLAXSEED GELLY
    Soft Hold for Texture, Curls & Waves

    Infused with pure handmade flaxseed gel, our soft-hold gelly enhances and smoothes styles and textures so your frizzies and flyaways won’t be flying any longer. Not quite a gel, yet not quite a cream, this flaxseed ‘gelly’ is not sticky, flakey or drying, adding shine and definition to every style while enhancing your natural texture. Horsetail leaf extract softens and repairs while meadowfoam seed oil adds slip and UV protection.
     
  • ESPINACHE (SPIN)MIST HYDRATING DRY OIL
    Weightless Moisture for Hair, Beard & Skin
    Our one of a kind dry oil mimics the composition of sebum, the body’s natural oil and is so unique because it is silicone-free, meaning it won’t cause product build up. Combining the reparative yet lightweight forces of coconut, chia, and pumpkin seed oils for a trifecta of moisture and shine that is highly absorbent and dry to the touch. Your skin, hair & beard will be turning heads.

     
  • ESPINACHE (SPIN)FUSE COCONUT OIL
    Unrefined Coconut Oil Infused with Spinach

    Enjoy the infinite powers of coconut oil with an added boost of spinachy goodness. Our (spin)fuse coconut oil is the perfect sealant to lock in moisture, infusing organic unrefined coconut oil with coldpressed, virgin spinach seed oil. Free of fragrance and artificial coloring, its slight tint is from the rich, natural color of spinach seed oil.
     

The new Espinache (Spin)body Collection was created by natural hair care and healthy living enthusiasts Dora Sobze and Twinkle Vakharia. Dora researched ethnic beauty standards and perceptions of natural hair care in her award winning academic thesis work at the University of Michigan. She realized that despite the emergence of more ethnic cosmetic lines, there are still deep divides between hair and skin types in natural and organic cosmetic spaces. Pace University graduate and Espinache Co-creator Twinkle Vakharia studied global marketing while abroad in Australia, where she further cultivated a sustainable lifestyle through vegetarianism and ecoconscious living. After returning to intern in New York City, Twinkle came to realize the unnatural standards reinforced by the American beauty industry. With diverse backgrounds in business marketing, psychology, and natural living, Dora and Twinkle joined forces to break the beauty barriers of race, gender and hair texture using the all-inclusive properties of spinach that are beneficial for everybody.

Espinache products are hand-crafted in small batches and handmade in Morristown, NJ and Philadelphia, PA. “We want to take part in the ‘locavore’ movement and make a conscious effort to support both our local communities and small businesses nationwide—especially because we are one!” says Twinkle Vakharia, Co-creator. Dora and Twinkle have plans to continue supporting local communities via fundraising events and partnerships with local artists to feature and sell local artisan work through Espinache’s online boutique. Espinache also has plans to expand their product base in the near future with additional spinach-infused formulas to nourish hair and skin.

The entire (SPIN)body collection, its accessories, and gifting bundles are available for purchase at the Espinache shop online at www.espinache.com. Individual product prices vary from $14-26 with bundle and gift set options also available and free shipping on all orders over $50.
