Sunday Lavender Balm
$28
We blend botanical balms, soaps, teas and home fragrances by hand in our Webster Street workshop — slowly, in small batches, with ingredients we can trace by name.
Three principles have guided every batch we've poured since the spring of 2015.
Every formula is mixed in batches of fewer than 220 units, finished by hand, and tied to a season — so each delivery carries the character of the months it was made in.
We can tell you the grower behind the lavender in our Sunday Balm and the cooperative that presses our cold-pressed sunflower oil. No anonymous ingredients, ever.
Our goods are designed to disappear into your routine — the kind of things you use down to the last drop and quietly reorder when the jar gets light.

Our entire operation lives in a single sunlit room above a hardware store in downtown Newark. Antonio mixes oils on Tuesdays, Mira labels and packs on Wednesdays, and on Fridays we open the door for anyone who wants to see how the work is done.
We do not wholesale, we do not contract-manufacture, and we do not subcontract. Every jar that leaves the studio was held by one of three pairs of hands.

We currently ship to the U.S. and Canada. International customers can write to privacy@tucker2015.com and we'll quote a custom rate.
Yes. Our Webster Street door is open every Friday from 11am–4pm, no appointment needed. We also host a free monthly blending demo on the last Saturday of each month.
If a product disappoints for any reason within 60 days of delivery, we'll refund it in full — including the original shipping. No forms, no photographs, just a short note.
Roughly two thirds of the catalog is vegan; the remainder uses beeswax sourced from a small apiary in Hunterdon County. Each product page lists every ingredient by name.
