Orange Thyme Bath Apothecary is a small artisan bath and body brand based in Spokane, Washington, founded and operated by Rachel, a passionate maker whose love for personal care products began with a simple lip balm obsession. What started in 2007 as a quest to create something nourishing and healing has since grown into a line of over 20 unique products, all handcrafted by Rachel herself with occasional support from her family. From designing each label to carefully crafting, packaging, and shipping every order, Orange Thyme remains a true one-woman show. The products can be found in some of the most thoughtfully curated shops and farms, thanks to the brand’s long-standing, personal relationships with store owners who appreciate its small-batch, high-quality ethos.

Staying close to its Pacific Northwest roots, Orange Thyme Bath Apothecary prioritizes local and sustainable sourcing. Most packaging and labels are sourced from nearby women-owned businesses, and ingredients are fresh, often organic, and always thoughtfully chosen. In 2016, the brand expanded to include a pet care line inspired by Rachel’s corgi, Lando, and later his golden retriever brother, Marty—both honorary members of the apothecary team. From people to pets, Orange Thyme keeps things simple, clean, and effective. Fragrances are hand-blended in small batches using a base of fractionated coconut oil, allowing the true scent to shine without the wait of alcohol evaporation. Their lip balm base is made using organic, food-grade oils and essential oils, in batches as small as 15 to ensure quality and freshness.

Orange Thyme Bath Apothecary is more than just a product line—it's a carefully curated expression of artisan care and Pacific Northwest pride. With a foundation in clean, minimal ingredients and a commitment to handcrafted quality, the brand brings a little bit of magic to everyday self-care.
