About Global Apothecary

All Global Apothecary items are inspired by a different country from around the world. My process starts with researching the history, food & culture of a country. I read cookbooks, travel guides, & novels about the chosen region. For example, before formulating my Peru-inspired Palo Santo & Cacao Ritual Night Oil, I read a Peruvian superfood cookbook, a memoir on the spiritual & cultural relevance of Palo Santo, and a history book about the religious beliefs of the ancient Incas. I used this knowledge to craft a very special face oil that uses historically, culturally & regionally relevant ingredients, such as Sacha Inchi oil (the "Incan Peanut") & avocado oil (a crop historically grown in the region). In addition to using these regionally relevant ingredients, I also include unique cosmeceutical ingredients. For example, the Japan-inspired Green Tea & Seaweed mud mask includes Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), a safe and effective skin-brightener. The focus is on clean, natural skincare that is EFFECTIVE.Read their story
