ABOUT

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.
