The ESSO® Story
Clean, Chic, and a Little Obsessed
ESSO® was born from one simple truth — your mouth deserves better.
We brushed. We flossed. We rinsed.
And yet… something still felt off.
Then one day, we discovered tongue scraping — and everything changed.
That first real clean feeling? Mind-blowing.
Fresh breath, brighter taste, lighter everything, so many benefits! We couldn’t believe more people didn’t know about it.
We’ve been scraping our tongues ever since (many many years) — but every tool we found was the same story:
- Cheap plastic, not BPA-free, not toxin free, poor quality, and terrible for the planet.
- Or, harsh metal instruments that were harsh and desensitizing our tongue with each stroke.
- Many looked like they belonged in a surgery tray or required 2 hands to use.
- As if that weren't enough, the designs were so ugly they got tucked away in a drawer instead of being displayed.
So, we decided to create the perfect one...
The ESSO® Luxe Tongue Scraper was born
We set out to create something that DID NOT exist - A tongue scraper that was super effective and satisfying, smooth and gentle, elegant, non-toxic, gag-free, good for the planet, and so beautiful you’d actually want to display it on your counter.
After many years and many iterations, we finally did it — we created The Perfect Scraper. Sleek, Sustainable, and Sensorial.
Not just an oral care too but an Oral Wellness & Beauty Ritual.
- Quality aircraft-grade aluminum handles.
- Silky-smooth, plant-based compostable heads; USA-made, food-grade, completely non-toxic & microplastic-free.
- A magnetic stand that displays the scraper like minimalist art, and makes sure it stays hygienic by not touching anything else.
Every detail intentional. Every curve designed to elevate an ancient ritual into something modern, mindful, and beautiful.
Not just oral care - A Wellness Ritual
We created the Luxe Tongue Scraper to take tongue scraping from a forgettable chore to a ritual you actually look forward to — a small, sensory moment that feels luxurious instead of clinical.
Tongue scraping shouldn’t be one more thing on your to-do list; it should feel like self-care, a little modern luxury at the beginning and end of your day.
By reimagining a centuries-old practice through intention, beauty, and thoughtful design, ESSO® turns everyday maintenance into a ritual you crave — not just because it works, but because of how good it makes you feel.
Our story doesn’t end there.
...Because ESSO® was never just about tongue scraping — it’s about reimagining oral wellness itself.
For decades, oral care has been stuck in the same sterile routine: cheap tools, harsh formulas, and bland design. Often functional, yes — but soulless. We believe it’s time for something better.
At ESSO®, our mission is to make elevated oral wellness an everyday ritual — one that feels luxurious, looks beautiful, and leaves you feeling genuinely good. From the materials we choose to the way each product sits on your counter, we design for how you feel, not just how you function.
We’re starting with the tongue — the gateway to your mouth, your health, your confidence — but we’re just getting started.
Our vision is a world where taking care of your mouth is something you actually look forward to.
Where clean doesn’t just feel better — it looks better too.
Because at ESSO®, we believe self-care starts with what you do every day — and that every ritual deserves a little luxury.
We're so glad to have you on this journey with us.
With Gratitude,
Susan & Mike
