Now at Target…

There’s something quietly powerful about beginnings.  They often start with a simple belief, a seed planted, sown deep in the heart. 

Passion & Experience

These two things shaped my life: My passion for understanding ingredients and my experience as a mother.  Twenty years in the world of natural ingredients led me to the unwavering belief that I could create better bathing products that would nurture children and parents alike.  It wasn’t just about creating something new; it was about creating something I genuinely believed in. 

But even the clearest vision doesn’t come without its challenges.  In the beginning, I knew very little about running a direct-to-consumer business or navigating the complexities of brick-and-mortar retail.  My husband, Tyler Leshney, along with countless friends, helped immensely.  Their experience and guidance gave me confidence that "I can do this!" But, there were still moments when I felt lost, questioning if we could scale it as I imagined. We made it through COVID-19, through the iOS 14 update, through inflation, elections, and countless other hurdles encountered over the years.  But through all of it, I learned a vital lesson: confidence, patience, and determination are as essential as our ingredients.  Equally important is surrounding yourself with the right people to help you grow.  There’s no way to do this alone. 

I am deeply grateful for our stellar team (now 7 of us) that chose to work at Dabble & Dollop because of shared values and a belief in this mighty brand. Their deep expertise, energy, and enthusiasm helped us scale quickly and inspire me daily.  I thank Target for embracing and trusting our independent brand and allowing us to share it with many families.  It’s humbling to know that something born out of a mother’s love and years of expertise is now reaching more homes, families, and children. 

A New Hope

Target is a new beginning for Dabble & Dollop, and I have deep gratitude for everyone who’s been a part of this journey.  Several beauty founders shared experiences – the good and the bad – which helped accelerate my learnings. They also validated that we were onto something special.  Our first consumer tests and countless customer surveys over the years provided the valuable feedback needed to iterate and further improve.  Our loyal customers, some of whom have placed 30+ orders (!!!) and 75% of our customers who have recommended our products to their friends, gave us the momentum we needed to be ready for the Target opportunity. Through our customer surveys, we knew that 90% of our customers wanted to see us in retail- Target specifically. It is so exciting to make their wishes come true!

Thank you for believing in what we’re creating at Dabble & Dollop.  It's not just a brand – it’s a reflection of my life’s work and my values of creativity, joy, and meaningful connection.  The world needs empathy, love, joy, creativity, authenticity, and genuine connection.  Building a brand and a business centered on these values is a way we can make a difference.  We’re not selling something based on fear-based ingredient-led storytelling. We’re not anchoring to a celebrity for quick but inauthentic reach.  We’re making products that are genuinely better than anything, delivering the transparency and safety that parents demand, and giving children a place at the table – making a product with their creativity and sensory preferences top of mind.   

It’s a new beginning, now at Target stores nationwide!

    Dabble & Dollop was born from a mother’s love, a passion for natural ingredients, and a belief that bath time should be safe, fun, and creative. Through challenges like COVID-19, retail expansion, and the evolving direct-to-consumer landscape, we remained committed to making clean, mixable, and sensory-friendly bath products that kids love and parents trust. Now, after listening to our amazing customers, we’re thrilled to launch in Target stores nationwide, bringing our non-toxic, USA-made, kid-safe bath essentials to more families than ever before. This is just the beginning of our mission to make bath time an experience of joy, creativity, and connection—thank you for believing in what we’re creating! #CleanBeauty #KidsBath #TargetFinds #NonToxicSkincare #DabbleAndDollop
