How this started

Gnome's Creations started with a group of friends who all made different things. Someone was obsessed with bath bombs. Someone else was mixing solid perfumes in mason jars. Tea parties and crochet plushies joined the table later.

We still run the same way. Everything gets mixed in small batches out of a kitchen in the Pacific Northwest. The bath bombs are pressed by hand. The lip balms are poured by hand. When a batch is gone, we make another one.

Our rule for ingredients is simple: if we wouldn't put it on our own skin, it doesn't go in the product. That's why we use organic sunflower oil, shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba, beeswax, and Epsom salt. The only synthetic things in our products are the naturally-derived fragrance oils, and even those we pick carefully.

We're a small operation and we like it that way. It means we can try new things (tea party workshops, mystery plushie boxes, solid perfumes in tins) without running it past a committee. It also means if you email us, one of us reads it and one of us writes back.
