Writings from the Apothecary
Rose Otto
Rose Otto is the pure, steam-distilled essential oil from the fragrant pink petals of Rosa damascena, otherwise known as “Damask Rose” or “Bulgarian Rose”
Citric Acid: A Versatile Ingredient from Bath to Kitchen
Citric acid is the quiet catalyst behind every bath fizzy. Derived from the natural acids found in citrus fruits and now commonly produced through the fermentation of plant sugars, it brings both history and function into the formulation. When it meets baking soda in water, it creates the gentle effervescence that defines a bath bomb, releasing minerals, oils, and botanicals into the bath.
Alkanet Root: Plant-Based Color for Lip & Body Care
Alkanet root is a beautiful plant ally for natural color, imparting deep ruby to burgundy hues when infused into oil. It offers a way to bring color and personality into lip balms and herbal cosmetics using plants rather than synthetic pigments.
