A Last Bench venture

Everyday products, reconsidered naturally.

The problem
Everyday household and personal-care products default to synthetic ingredients and plastic packaging where natural, practical alternatives exist.
What it’s building
A growing line of natural household and personal-care products, sourced mainly from South Asia and the Himalayas, moving toward zero-plastic packaging.
Key concept
Twenty years of quietly proving natural alternatives can be practical, not just ideological.
In more detail
Founded in 2006 in Auroville, Tamil Nadu, Natural Things started with deshelled soap nuts — a natural, saponin-based laundry alternative — and has since expanded to wool dryer balls, natural dishwashing tablets and sheets, loofah scrubbers, body and bath scrubs, and a long-running line of bamboo and birch golf tees. Sourcing is concentrated in South Asia and the Himalayas, serving families across Europe, the US and Canada, with packaging moving steadily toward zero plastic — kraft paper, glass, muslin and cardboard.
