Botanical Apothecary

Drawn from
the earth.

Small-batch skincare rooted in living botanicals, traditional extraction, and the patience of slow time.

Founded 2019 -- Asheville, NC

How we make it

Three principles.
Held without compromise.

01

Wildcrafted Roots

We forage calendula, elder flower, and plantain from certified-sustainable mountain meadows. Nothing comes from a bottle of concentrate.

Harvest season: late summer

02

Cold Infusion

Dried botanicals steep for 28 days in organic jojoba and rosehip seed oil. Heat kills the volatile compounds we spent all that time gathering.

28-day maceration

03

No Filler

Our formulas contain 12 ingredients or fewer. Every entry earns its place by doing something measurable to your skin barrier.

Average 9 ingredients
