Thayers is proud to have a 170 year old legacy in natural personal care products and as our company continues to grow, our packaging will undergo slight changes. You’ll find our newest packaging reflects the trusted red cap as well as updated label changes.

You can find Thayers products at most health food stores as well as major retailers such as Whole Foods, Target, Walgreens and CVS.

Our Facial Toners are alcohol free and are for cleansing, moisturizing and toning the skin. Our Astringents are alcohol based and are more suited to those with oily & acne-prone skin to further help control oil production and acne causing bacteria.

Tannins are what make our Witch Hazel special! They’re naturally occurring substances found in the bark or skin of the Hamamelis Virginiana, AKA witch hazel. Our Witch Hazel undergoes an extraction process similar to brewing tea. This helps retain 195% more tannins. Tannins have mild antioxidant properties, which can help clean, clear, and add a nice glow to your skin.
