About
The Thurlby Herb Farm is tucked away not far from Walpole in the southern forests of Western Australia – 420 km south of Perth and 120km west of Albany. The essential oils and herbs used in their products are sourced from the Thurlby garden or imported from ethical herb and spice cooperatives around the world. Botanicals are collected from the garden, then dried and mixed in different aromatic blends to be used in their products which are handmade at the farm. Thurlby products contain no synthetic additives, parabens or lauryl sulphates, and they are not tested on animals.
Packaging
Thurlby's product packaging is made from recycled cotton paper that is handmade in Bangladesh by a Fair Trade women's co-op. This cotton is a by-product from the clothing industry. The packaging features a range of colourful prints as well as more neutral options. Products like balms and scrubs that require more hefty packaging come in reusable tins or glass jars.
Plastic Free Products
Thurlby offers a wide selection of products that will help you reduce your plastic use in the bathroom and around the home. The Thurlby team are masters of alchemy, crafting aromatic herbal blends that will comfort and soothe. Here's some of our favourites:
