Gilden Tree makes natural and organic products for healthier skin.

We've been passionate about making eco-friendly products since 1990.

We introduced the “Foot Scrubber,” a remarkable terra-cotta pumice stone for feet that never wears out, and provides instant results.

Our creams and lotions use time-honored ingredients like Certified Organic aloe vera, jojoba oil and wild-crafted shea butter; ingredients that actually help our bodies heal themselves.

And for over 30 years, we've offered Waffle Bath Towels made of chemical-free “Natural Cotton” in true, authentic, European-style waffle weave. Soft and absorbent - they dry up to 40% faster!

Our textiles are all Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, which means they have been tested and met strict manufacturing requirements for textiles. We hope you’ll love our products and that they'll make your life healthier and simpler, too.

We’ve been generating headlines since the 90s, but our mission remains the same: healthy and simple products that actually work. See why editors at Good Housekeeping and The Green Beauty Bible keep coming back to us.

Organic and Earth-First

From certified organic ingredients to water-safe manufacturing, your comfort never comes at the planet's expense.

Our cotton products are unbleached, undyed, and chemical-free, while white fabrics are gently peroxide bleached. We were among the first to encourage environmentally responsible manufacturing and our dyed products use less-toxic cold-dye processing.

Certified Organic ingredients in our personal care products are verified by Oregon Tilth.

We value long-term usability, including packaging. Many jars and bottles use amber #1 PETE plastic, which is widely recyclable and protects contents from light and air, reducing preservative needs. Others use recyclable #5 PP plastic.

All products are vegan and never tested on animals.

Artisanal Since 1990

We don't just employ artisans; we’ve funded the education of our craftswomen and their children since 1993. These artisans have perfected the craft of our Terra Cotta Footscrubber, built to last years. Founded with a passion for quality and craftsmanship, our brand has been dedicated to creating exceptional products that stand the test of time. Every piece tells a story of dedication and attention to detail.

Our Story: Made With Love

It’s almost embarrassing. After years of often going barefoot in her garden and outdoors, Ann had terrible feet. But while living in Pakistan, she and her husband Kumy discovered a traditional terra-cotta “pumice stone” that tamed even her wild feet. That remarkable tool—the 2-Sided Terra-Cotta Foot Scrubber—became the first Gilden Tree product when we brought it back to the U.S. in 1990.


From that small beginning, Gilden Tree has grown to include healing foot creams, lotions, and aromatherapy shower steamers—all made in the USA with natural ingredients that help the body heal itself. In 1995, we introduced 100% Natural Cotton Waffle Weave Towels crafted from pure, chemical-free cotton that dries up to 40% faster than Terry towels.

Expert-Tested. Editor-Approved.

Your home deserves the gold standard. Whether it's our waffle towels being hailed as "Hotel Spa" quality by Esquire or our skincare essentials featured inThe Green Beauty Bible, we’ve spent 30 years perfecting the items that elevate your everyday routine.
