Margot Elena Wells designs several bath and body lines and her newest, Love & Toast, has a strong natural and organic ingredient deck. In addition to Love & Toast, Wells has also designed product lines Lollia and TokyoMilk. “I always look to offer a wonderful assortment of sophisticated items that really fit the personality of the line,” Wells says.

At elizabethW, green products are becoming an increasing important part of the business, according to representative Michael Lindsay. “Our environmental consciousness is directed towards the principles of sustainable sourcing, quality ingredients, well-being, and aesthetics,” he says.

The San Francisco-based company handcrafts its luxury collections for bath, body, and home in its workshop. Other elements of a green lifestyle are also important. At elizabethW, socially conscious practices are set in place—the packaging used is recyclable and the company works hard to create jobs and promote the local economy.
