The Apothecary — Handcrafted Herbal Care

The apothecary at Loch & Key Witchery is built on the belief that healing should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in the wisdom of plants. Every formula is created in small batches with thoughtfully sourced herbs, oils, and minerals—blending traditional folk practices with modern understanding of skin care and wellness.

Our focus is on everyday remedies for real bodies and real lives: tired muscles after long shifts, winter coughs that won’t loosen, hands cracked from honest work, skin that needs gentle support rather than harsh chemicals. We craft with the intention to comfort, strengthen, and restore—not to replace medical care, but to walk beside it.

What We Create

• Muscle Butter & Pain Salves – infused with arnica, comfrey, willow bark, and warming botanicals to soothe sore joints and overworked bodies
• Magnesium Sprays & Creams – for relaxation, sleep support, and restless muscles
• Elderberry Tinctures & Seasonal Blends – traditional immune allies made with care
• Skin Healing Lines – psoriasis & eczema creams, acne treatments, retinol serum, cuticle and nail oils
• Herbal Hair & Beard Care – nourishing oils to strengthen scalp and strands
• All-Purpose Herbal Salves – gentle first aid for dry skin, minor irritations, and everyday protection
• Sleep & Comfort Tinctures – botanical blends for winding down body and mind

Each recipe is researched, tested, and made in-house with attention to contraindications and safe usage. We believe herbalism should be honest and transparent—customers can see, smell, and try many products before taking them home, learning how the plants feel on their own skin.

How We Work

• Ingredients are sourced responsibly with preference for local and small growers
• Products are handcrafted in clean, controlled batches
• Clear labeling and guidance accompany every item
• Samples are offered so customers can experience textures and scents
• Education is as important as the product itself

Our apothecary is not just a shelf of jars—it is a conversation between plant and person. We invite questions, curiosity, and the slow rediscovery of caring for the body in gentle, old-fashioned ways.

Our Intention

To help people feel at home in their own skin.
To offer remedies made with integrity instead of shortcuts.
To keep herbal traditions alive in a modern, practical form.
