ESBA's mission is to develop, manufacture and market innovative personal care and dermatological products
ESBA Laboratories was founded in 1995 by Estela Basso, a Pharmaceutical Chemist. Its first product was Sensational You®, an all natural sugar-honey wax for hair removal. The company was started in Mountain View, California under the name Dermascan Laboratories. In 2003, it relocated to Jupiter, Florida.

Estela Basso writes in 1995 when she developed Sensational You® wax:
Dear Friend:
SENSATIONAL YOU® came to be because I was dissatisfied with
the high cost and messiness of the products for hair removal
available to the do-it-yourself woman or man.
Being a pharmacist, I developed the formula for
SENSATIONAL YOU® and tested it for quite some time until I was convinced
that I had the best quality, effective and safe hair remover
available.
All the ingredients in SENSATIONAL YOU® are natural,
including a large percentage of real bee honey. I am positive it
will work for you as it does for many others that are enjoying
its benefits today. Your satisfaction is my priority, so feel
free to send
me any questions or comments that you may have.
