- The Apis Apotheca Story
A juicy, antioxidant-rich creamy semi-solid gel-like serum that helps to even skin tone, fade hyperpigmentation, boost collagen production, and keep breakouts at bay, this offering provides some serious glow. The thing about antioxidants is that they love to travel in packs: vitamins A, C, and E are all super-charged skin helpers in their own right, but, when combined, they are powerful defenders of your precious visage. Calendula and seabuckthorn fruit oil, along with organic orange peel extract, offer plant-based vitamin A and C in spades, while locally-grown and freshly-pressed sunflowere seed oil is packed with vitamin E - a combination that offers up major brightening, smoothing, and firming benefits. And generous Japanese knotweed root extract - grown on the Apis Apotheca farm and extracted in-house - provides nature's richest source of resveratrol: one of the most powerful antioxidants Mother Earth has provided. To back up this all-star cast is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C that supports the plants in their complex work and helps rebuild skin that may have been damaged in the course of living your adventurous life. The slightest citrusy hint of cold-pressed non-photosensitizing Japanese yuzu essential oil further helps to brighten skin...and lift spirits.

Founded and run by farmers, herbalists, and educators who feel a duty to uphold traditions of equitable access to safe herbal medicine and knowledge, Apis Apotheca creations are brought to life by Aviva Skye Tilson, who comes from a farming background and is a certified community herbalist. Aviva has spent a decade healing herself through working with plants and animals, and has always loved skincare. The Apis Apotheca line represents her combined years of field experience, academic research, and endless experimentation.
The Apis Apotheca team runs a medicinal herb farm in New York’s stunning Hudson Valley, high on a hill facing the Catskill Mountains, with deep, mineral-rich, loamy soil that supports trillions of healthy micro-organisms in balance. This healthy soil grows healthy plants, 100% organically. They grow 98% of the plants used in their formulas to ensure they are fresh, potent, and properly preserved for ever batch of products. And their lab is steps away from their farm fields, which enables them to capture the potency of the plants they grow to the fullest, as well as to experiment to their hearts content whenever they have a lightbulb moment out in the field! The Apis Apotheca lab is also solar powered and they recycle everything that can be recycled, and compost absolutely everything that can be composted — and that compost goes right back on their fields to help grow more gorgeous plants. Full circle.
