By The Sea Apothecary
2124 Saratoga Rd V9J1A2 Black Creek, BC, Canada

This was us five years ago starting a new life with little idea of how things would turn out. With trust in our hearts we left our jobs in the city and moved to a little town called Black Creek on Vancouver Island. We bought a house with a beautiful yard in the spectacular Saratoga beach area. Our plan was to build an Apothecary in our front yard that served herbal goodness to both the local community and the tourists visiting the area.... We shared our ideas (mostly scribbled drawings) with the city planner and got the green light to proceed. By The Sea Apothecary was becoming a reality. We spent the next six months working on the building and created a line of herbal formulas and organic skincare. The process was exciting and it was easy to find our flow, he loves to build and I love to create magic and medicine with plants. We opened our doors in September 2015 and it didn’t take long to realize that our little vision (born from a conversation had in the Amazon Rainforest) was very much the reality we were seeking. Since then we’ve welcomed many people at various stages of health and wellness through these doors. Some looking for the deep dives into the shadows to heal a lifetime of trauma and others just wanting nice essential oils for their diffusers. Regardless of this we have felt so much support from our community near and far. Today the Apothecary is a thriving business and we couldn’t have arrived here without you!! That brings me to the point of this post...we want to say a big THANK YOU and the best way we know how to do this is to give you some AMAZING deals.

It seems there is nothing more magical than the smell of a wild rose. Our cooling rose toner is crafted from the wild roses on Vancouver Island and is quite possibly the purest scent your skin will ever crave.
