- The Apis Apotheca Story
A love song to the wild ocean and the ancient rose, Flower Sap is a reverent merging of saltwater wisdom and floral devotion. At its heart lies gromwell: a rare and powerful root so elusive that Apis Apotheca chose to grow it themselves, cradling its lifecycle from seed to harvest over the course of two slow, intentional years. This time-honored process gave rise to a formula unlike any other: where the mineral memory of Maine-harvested seaweed meets the tender vibration of rose, and gromwell lends its deep, anchoring magic. Together, they attune to the rhythm of your skin - helping it retain essential moisture, soften the edges of dryness, and strengthen the barrier that keeps your inner waters held. More than a hydrator, Flower Sap is a tuning fork: harmonizing your skin’s needs, day and night. It invites a gentle cascade of moisture while fortifying the skin with nutrients only the earth and sea can offer. A living testament to the patience of plants and the intelligence of nature’s design. Let your skin drink deeply. Let it remember the language of rain, root, and rose.
1fl oz
Rose flower water (Rosa Damascena), aloe vera, local + organic sunflower seed oil (helianthus annuus), proprietary extracts of oarweed (laminaria digitata), winged kelp (alaria esculenta), gromwell (Lithospermum erythrorhizon), (vegetable based) glycerin, ceteareth-6 Olivate, aspen bark extract (Populus tremuloides), xanthan gum
With a feather-light application, it is wonderful as a light lotion on its own or combined with an oil or balm of choice for richer moisture. Always apply to clean, slightly damp skin. 3-5 drops is all that is needed.
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.
