THYMES ESSENTIALS: Whom You Know is Pleased to Kick Off Our Coverage of Thymes and Your Hands Will Swing into Spring Delightfully with Thymes Essentials!

Whom You Know is pleased to begin our coverage of Thymes!  A bit of their history first:


In 1982, the Thymes bravely began as a small, home-based business offering a collection of soaps and bath salts inspired by a love for art, nature and a desire to elevate everyday moments into restorative rituals. By using these products, they wanted women to be inspired, and find a renewed sense of balance.
Made with essential oils and natural ingredients, and artistically designed and packaged with hand-touched details, the products pioneered an entirely new category of botanically-based Bath & Body products.
They’ve grown since then (and so has the category we helped to create), but within these walls, much has stayed the same. They’re still a company that is run by and for women. And to this day, everything they do – every single collection they create, fragrance they develop, formula they produce, and even the packaging we design – is done with you in mind.

Thymes Essentials™ is an expression of Thymes’ belief that experience is paramount – a head-to-toe collection that brings extraordinary experiences into everyday life by delivery daily doses of exhilaration.  The Thymes Essentials collection is comprised of performance-based products for face, body, hands and feet that make skincare anything but routine and grooming something to look forward to day and night.  These new, streamlined formulations emphasize pure and natural ingredients of the highest quality without sacrificing performance, and are developed for everyday use. 

We were pleased to look at Thymes Essentials first and love the hand cream and the cuticle cream. This powerful duo will keep your hands moisturized this spring!  As we begin to take our winter gloves off outside these days, we need a powerful product that does the job but also delights us.  These have a wonderful fresh smell and a delicate texture that you will love too.  The second gray day in a row on top of the fact that they have been the DREADED MONDAY and Tuesday surely leave you sitting at your Manhattan desk wondering what will perk up your day!  Thymes Essentials will.
