About

Kumy and I started Gilden Tree in 1990. Our first product was the Foot Scrubber®, a terra-cotta tool that works like a pumice stone to remove dry skin and calluses from feet.

But unlike pumice, our terra-cotta Foot Scrubber never wears out. This traditional tool is common in the Indian sub-continent, but was virtually unknown in the United States at the time.

Foots Scrubbers are made in Pakistan by a group of women, who'd never had the opportunity to work outside the home. Within a couple of years, it became clear to us that the Foot Scrubber had struck a chord here in the US, and we wanted to give something back to thank these women for their amazing work. In 1993, we began to pay for the education of their children, and later for the women themselves.

Ten years later, in 2003, with the encouragement of friends, we began to talk about our efforts, and the response has been pretty extraordinary. We were honored to be featured in a TIME Magazine article in December of 2005, focused on companies that work with artisan groups around the world, with a focus on giving something back.

Today, Gilden Tree's line includes deeply healing foot, hand & body care products, each the best we can possibly create, as well as a beautiful line of natural cotton robes, towels and accessories.
