Meet the Founder

Green Koala was founded in 2010 by Paula Keif with a simple idea: the products we bring into our homes and use on our bodies should be made with ingredients we can feel good about.

After taking a closer look at the ingredients in everyday home and personal care products, Paula set out to create a cleaner, more thoughtfully made alternative.

What began as a small idea has grown into a collection of handcrafted home fragrance and body care products, made in small batches in Massachusetts. Today, Green Koala remains committed to thoughtfully chosen ingredients, quality craftsmanship, and products made with care.

 The Green Koala Difference

    Clean Ingredients

    We thoughtfully formulate our home fragrance and body care products with carefully chosen ingredients—without parabens, phthalates, petroleum products, or animal-derived ingredients.

    Made in Massachusetts

    Since 2010, our products have been handcrafted in small batches in our Massachusetts studio. From candles and home fragrance to bath and body care, we make each product with attention to quality and detail.

Our Mission

At Green Koala, we believe the products you bring into your home and use on your body should be made with care. That's why we focus on clean, thoughtfully chosen ingredients, make our products in small batches, and never test on animals.

We also care about our impact on the planet, from the ingredients we use to packaging that can be reused or recycled. It's all part of creating products we feel good about making and you can feel good about using.

Made by Hand, With Care

Every Green Koala product begins right here in our Massachusetts studio. From pouring candles and blending body care to filling bottles and applying labels, our products are handcrafted in small batches with attention to every detail.

For us, handmade isn't just how we make our products. It's part of who we are. Making in small batches allows us to focus on quality, thoughtfully chosen ingredients, and products we're proud to send from our hands to your home.
