The Apothecary

Forest Bathing is a bath soak handcrafted in small batches on forested land in Lake Cowichan, BC. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku — the art of being present in the forest, breathing it in, letting it restore you — this soak is made for those who know that the trees have something to offer.

The scent is deep and grounding: vetiver, fir needle, and a West Coast botanical blend of black pine, spruce, orange, and lavender, carried in olive oil over a base of Epsom, dead sea, and Celtic grey salts. Dried rosemary is visible through the window of every pouch, gathered and blended by hand.

Add 100g to a warm bath and soak. Close your eyes. You know this place.

Beltane Botanicals is a seasonal ritual bath soak handcrafted in small batches on forested land in Lake Cowichan, BC. Blended to honour the turn of the Wheel at Beltane — the height of spring, the fire festival, the first breath of summer — this soak is made for those who mark the old occasions with intention.

The scent is floral and grounding: rose petals, jojoba, lavender, and vanilla woven together over a base of Epsom, Himalayan pink and sea salts. Rose petals and lavender flowers are visible through the window of every pouch, gathered and blended by hand.

Add 100g to a warm bath and soak. Light a candle. Let the water do the rest.

Fields of Gold is a hand crafted botanical bath soak made in small batches on forested land on Vancouver Island, BC. A seasonal offering created to honour Lughnasadh: the first harvest festival, the golden hour of summer, the moment when the fields are turning and the light is beginning to soften toward autumn.

Close your eyes. The grasses are dry and warm. Calendula, chamomile, and yarrow are drying in the late summer sun. The harvest is almost home, but not yet. This is that feeling, held in salt and botanicals.

Chamomile, lavender, and lemon. Ancient herbs, golden light, the bittersweet turning of the season.

Draw your bath. Let the golden hour in.
