About Us
Our mission at Element Brooklyn is to bring quality formulations and luxurious fragrances into your home – without wasteful packaging and high price tags.
Fabulous fragrances
We believe in bringing moments of delight to your everyday household experiences. Fragrances can be calming, rejuvenating, uplifting; we invite you to try out our full range and find your favorites.
If you don’t like a particular product, you’re welcome to send it back; we offer free returns within 90 days of purchase.
Highest quality ingredients
All our soaps and creams are made in New York. They’re gentle, effective, and thick and luxurious – a little goes a long way.
Our candles are hand-poured in our Bushwick factory.
We don’t use sulfates, phthalates or other harmful ingredients.
Unbeatable value
Designer brands (mostly owned by profit-hungry conglomerates) charge steep prices to cover the high costs of branding, packaging, and prestige – so you end up paying far more than the product itself is worth.
Our refills are between 70% and 90% cheaper than designer equivalents.
Radically less plastic
We’re on a mission to reduce plastics, which take hundreds of years to decompose and wreak havoc on the marine environment. Our refill pouches reduce plastic usage by about 80%.
Although some brands make a big deal about using recycled materials, recycling is an imperfect and expensive process. It’s much more impactful to simply use less plastic.
