I've spent a lot of time in my personal life looking for products I can feel good about using, but more and more they become harder to find – so I started DIYing as much as I can. I love to create things – from food to furniture – and I want to bring that to other people too. While we all might not be able to create, you can feel good about shopping with Brookwood Apothecary. Everything I create is made right in the US (Connecticut)!
Product Ingredients?
As most products are fairly unique most of my ingredients can change. Most of my base formulas will remain the same, and they're listed below. The lists are broad, and not everything will have every ingredient – always check on each product if there is something you're avoiding.
Most of the products made follow similar base formulas, however at times and with certain blends, this could change. If this does happen – I will always make a note on the product page.
