Today's a Spa Day. We have to get your mind right first. Set the tone with a natural oatmeal aroma to give that relaxing homey vibe. Balanced it with a sweet honey finish. Draw that bath. Scoot down in the tub a little more, adjust the music, we are going to be here for a little bit.

We Donate to Mental Health Awareness

We love the idea of helping someone express themselves through our handmade products. Everytime someone loves the aesthetic, quality, scent or color palette. It reminds us that we are creating products of importance. We took this concept and ran with it. We thought that to truly be a Home & Human brand, we would have to not only supply a product that relates to our customers interests, have soothing calming tones and colors, but also impact lives.
