General Info

The Thymes produces body lotions and creams, candles and other scented items, as well as a collection of bath, body and home products. The Thymes company was started in 1982 by Leslie Ross Lentz from her home kitchen. It has grown from the kitchen concoctions of richly fragrant products, blended from ingredients bought at the farmer s markets, homegrown or found in specialty shops. The Thymes is a women-owned business, priding itself on attracting and elevating women to leadership positions. For instance, its research and development lab is led by a group of highly skilled female chemists, who are responsible for developing its fragrances and products. The Thymes does most of its business online at its Internet site. The company headquarters is located in Minneapolis.
