THE RECIPES & INGREDIENTS

From recipe testing to packaging design to shipping, founders Joshua and Brad handle each step of the process. They select ingredients not only for their intoxicating scents but for their unique healing properties. Making use of the South’s long growing season, Joshua and Brad grow most of Little Barn Apothecary’s ingredients in their backyard garden or source them from nearby farmers markets. By committing to whole and certified organic ingredients, Little Barn Apothecary creates goods from scratch that are 100% safe, naturally potent, and highly effective.


THE PRODUCTS

Little Barn Apothecary’s product line features nearly two dozen small-batch items, with plans to launch more in the coming months. Upon request, the company also formulates custom blends for in-house treatments at spas around the country. Some of Little Barn Apothecary’s most beloved goods include the Coffee Scrub—an energizing, antioxidant-packed, and firming scrub made with fair trade, hand-ground coffee beans and pure cane sugar; Bathing Milk—a luxurious and skin-softening milk with warming, ground cloves to increase circulation; and Facial Oil—a nutrient-rich blend of cold-pressed hemp seed oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, lavender, and frankincense.


THE EXPERIENCE

Little Barn Apothecary’s nurturing remedies serve as an invitation to slow down and indulge in daily self-care rituals that are both good for you and good for the environment. Items are packaged in apothecary-style glass bottles and tins with minimalist black and white labels. Natural ingredients like eucalyptus leaves, crushed cloves, and pink Himalayan sea salt are beautifully showcased, lending rich colors and textures for a full sensory experience.


THE STORY

Prior to founding Little Barn Apothecary, Joshua worked as an executive for 16 years in the luxury beauty and spa industry in New York and Chicago. Born to two entrepreneur parents in a Southern farming community, Brad has always been passionate about the healing power of nature. He previously worked in marketing, hospitality, and brand management.

In 2012, Joshua and Brad began researching botanicals and experimenting at home with recipes for handmade, simple self-care products. They shared some of the items with friends and family and were showered with enthusiastic requests for more. After expanding the line to include today’s core selection, Joshua and Brad debuted Little Barn Apothecary to the public in January 2015.
