shop the apothecary
At Be Merry Apothecary, I keep a plentiful supply of herbs, but my selection of herbal products is limited. This is because I prioritize using only natural preservatives, which means my products don't have a long shelf life. For oil-based items, I typically use only vitamin e as a preservative, if any at all. Water-based products, however, require preservatives to prevent spoilage; without them, they would last no more than a week in the fridge. My goal is to honor and utilize my herbs wisely, minimizing waste, which is why I include preservatives in my water-based formulations.
Herbal products to purchase are listed below. If one of them interests you, send an email to bemerryherbs@gmail.com and let me know what products you want. Payments may be made by e-transfer to the above address or by cash at time of pick up.
All herbal products are made with organic herbs and in small-batches. Some of the products use herbs from my own garden, such as the lip balms and the cough elixir with thyme and elecampane.
