ABOUT the BRAND

Founder Chrissy Fichtl's passion for soap making, scent formulation and essential oils are the roots of what created Apotheke in New York, 2011. Chrissy learned about the beauty of essential oils, starting with sourcing ingredients directly from farms and teaching herself the art of soap making in her own kitchen. Over time, she has self taught herself about fragrance blending.

In the summer of 2012, Apotheke opened their first factory, a 3,000 square foot site in Brooklyn, New York. Chrissy's husband Sebastian Picasso, took on the lead as production, maintaining a philosophy that high-quality and luxury goods can still be made steps from home by real people.
