Happy Anniversary Zen Zest!

Kaycee Enerva (KikaySiKat) and Yette Cruz for Zen Zest

Happy 15th Anniversary Zen Zest! Grabe it has been that long no? I can still remember back in highschool when I always buy your Honey Dew Melon EDT kasi it smells really nice and kahit mainit sa classroom I don’t get that amoy pawis smell LOL. Oohh! I also love your Tea Tree Oil! It works just as great as *cough cough international brands*. Gotta love local! Thank you so much for inviting me on your anniversary party and re-introducing me to your products!

Today, I’ll be sharing with you a few photos during the event, my favorites AND what you really came here for. The complete product line and price list from Zen Zest Asia (scroll until the bottom)!

Every business must answer a need. Otherwise, it would soon meet its demise and fade out in a sea of start-ups, trampled over by the next big thing. Fifteen years ago, Michelle Asence-Fontelera noticed how expensive imported bath and body products were and how no local brands provided the same good quality at affordable prices. Hence in 2001, Zen Zest was born. It was Michelle’s answer to the need of every Filipina to elevate her beauty, style, and home without breaking the bank.

Thank you Liz Lanuzo (ProjectVanity.com) for inviting me!

Zen Zest has already broken through the Asian market and their stalls have reached Japan, Bahrain, and Brunei where their cocktail collection of scents with clever names such as Cosmopolitan, Margherita, and White Russia are big hits. “The goal now is to penetrate the US market and go main stream in the West,” shares the entrepreneur. And it doesn’t seem like a farfetched target at all. As they celebrate their 15th year in business, Zen Zest promises that the brand has more exciting products and news up its sleeves. Not one to rest on her laurels, Michelle says, “Fifteen years may seem like a long time to be in business, but it’s just the beginning for Zen Zest.” Indeed, the future of Zen Zest is looking bright and smelling sweet.
