A.S Apothecary is a small-batch distillery whose raw ingredients hail from flowers, leaves and roots harvested in Sussex, Cyprus and Scotland. Via every hand-made potion, founder Amanda Saurin’s goal is to heal and nourish, while vowing to do no harm, either to skin or the environment. A.S Apothecary’s slow meditative approach and its wisdom has been passed from hand-to-hand through generations of healers and makers. Each pot contains a particular magic unique to the harvest its ingredients were sourced from.

There is something uniquely comforting about the old-fashioned bar of soap. Evocative of sojourns with granny, today the humble soap is frequently maligned as too dehydrating to the skin. That charge, as A.S Apothecary well knows, depends on the soap in question. Its 100g handmade detox block is gentle yet deeply cleansing – and mildly exfoliating into the bargain. The activated charcoal and clay draw impurities and bacteria from the skin, while seaweed, olive oil and Shea butter nourish – a particular boon for those who suffer from acne (mint is especially good for reducing inflammation from pimples.). Thanks to being cold processed and the abundant natural glycerine, there’s not a dry inch of skin in the house.
