We get a lot of questions about help with acne, especially in teens and young adults.
***Ideally you want to research what the root cause for your type of acne could be and treat it there- hormonal, bacterial/fungal, skin barrier dysregulation, trash diet, gut issues, etc***

And we don't have a product specifically for acne for that reason-- because everyone's struggle isn't the same.

But we do have a number of products that support clear, smooth, bright skin without the terrors that come with daily antibiotics or things like Accutane.

Sometimes your skin doesn’t need harsher chemicals — it needs support, nourishment, and ingredients that work with your body, not against it.

I have 3 teenagers that all have had their struggles, so I'll share some of the things we use to help at home that can help you too.

🌱 Rejuvenate Clay Mask
Helps draw out impurities, excess oil, and buildup while gently detoxifying the skin without leaving it stripped or tight. Perfect for congested pores and stressed skin needing a reset. Do this once or twice a week. SO GOOD!

🍋 Turmeric & Lemon Pit Scrub
Not just for underarms — this powerhouse blend can help exfoliate dead skin buildup and brighten dull areas while turmeric supports inflamed and irritated skin and promotes a more even appearance. Use every few days.

🌼 Calendula Tincture
Calendula has long been loved for its calming properties and ability to support skin recovery. A favorite for redness, irritated blemishes, and skin that needs a little extra love. Splash a bit on a cotton pad and clean acne prone areas.

✨ LumiCu Copper Serum
Copper is known for supporting skin renewal and helping improve the appearance of texture and post-breakout marks while delivering deep hydration and glow without heaviness. Use after washing the face every morning.

🤺Ageless Tallow
If you have acne scarring or scars in general you'd like to see minimized, tallow is the product for you. Consistent use can reduce scarring, even out tone and hyperpigmentation, and reduce the signs of aging and sun damage. Use nightly before bed.

***I've been working on a cleanser for acne prone skin and a walnut hull scrub for men and they're almost ready! Just waiting on my labels!! Stay tuned.

Healthy skin isn’t about perfection — it’s about supporting your skin barrier, reducing inflammation, and being consistent with what you put on AND IN your body. 🤍

If your skin has been overwhelmed by harsh products, this may be your sign to simplify your routine and nourish your skin naturally.

Summer has a way of reminding us what matters.....

Fresh air through open windows.
Bare feet touching the ground.
Garden evenings.
Sun warmed skin.

And maybe this year....a simpler, cleaner approach to what we bring into our homes and put onto our bodies.

So much of our modern summer must haves lining the shelves of every retail store have little to no natural ingredients in them at all. Most people can't even identify one or two of what they are readily putting into their bloodstream, causing inflammation, hormone disruption, and mitochondrial dysfunction on a cellular level.
Even little things like sunscreen and bug repellant can have a major effect on your health with continued use year after year.

And hey, we get it, we don't like getting sunburned or eaten up with mosquitoes either! We created this space, this apothecary, so that we could put in the work so you don't have to, to create the products you need....the ones you can feel confident in, feel safe with, feel good about. That's the whole point!

We are fully embracing a chemical free summer over here with handcrafted, small batch products using ingredients rooted in nature that our ancestors absolutely understood how to put into practice. No overwhelming synthetic scents. No unnecessary fillers or preservatives. Just good intentions with you and your kids and grands in mind.

Check out our bestselling summer must haves:

Dawn-to-Dark Natural Sunscreen:
a clean tallow and zinc based alternative to carcinogenic chemicals that not only protects from UV damage but can nourish and heal after sun exposure as well. Safe to use on all ages, even babies!

BuggerCream Frosting:
a natural take on those DEET filled bug repellants that keeps the critters away using natural essential oils and skin loving tallow to nourish, protect, and even help support the skin barrier against bug bites. Safe for all ages.

Black Drawing Salve:
we're gonna brag here.....one of the best products we ever created, using an heirloom herbal recipe jazzed up to help ticks let go of their bite, pull toxins and bacteria out of bites to ward off tick borne illnesses, draw out splinters, boils, and cysts, and fight infection. Safe for all ages.

Turmeric and Lemon Pit Scrub:
a natural sugar based exfoliant to refresh, brighten, and renew your skin during summer months. Use on your pits, your face, your lips, or anywhere that needs a touch up or areas with hyperpigmentation.

Pomegranate Anti-Cellulite Scrub:
Help reduce the appearance of cellulite, hyperpigmentation, and scars by promoting circulation and softening prone areas.

Healing Salve:
who needs Neosporin when you can have Comfrey, Plantain, and a host of other natural antimicrobials to use on burns, rashes, chaffing, cuts, and anything that looks like it might get infected. Safe for all ages.

Here's to slow floats down lazy creeks, herb gardens, cookouts with friends, and hours on the beach.

ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

There comes a moment when you realize true transformation isn’t just about adding better things into your life… it’s also about letting go.

Letting go of the habits that drain you.
The routines that keep you stuck.
The thoughts that convince you you’re not enough.
The patterns that leave your mind, body, and spirit exhausted and frustrated.

This is something I have personally spent the last 6 months being intentional about. Choosing the things/people I allow into my life carefully and being very mindful of the energy they bring with them. Honestly, life is so fleeting that anymore of my time feeling distracted, disrespected, shamed, less than, used, or pushed aside is no longer allowable.

Growth requires release.
Read that again, friends.

Sometimes becoming a better version of yourself means:
✨ Choosing rest instead of burnout
✨ Nourishing your not just your body, but your spirit
✨ Protecting your peace
✨ Breaking cycles instead of repeating them
✨ Trading silence for necessary conversations
✨ Being AUTHENTICALLY you

At Pharmhouse, we believe wellness is more than skincare, herbs, or self care products — it’s a lifestyle rooted in intention, healing, and transformation.

This is your reminder that you are allowed to evolve. You are!
You are allowed to outgrow old versions of yourself.
You are allowed to say "I don't have to."
You are allowed to leave toxicity behind.
You are allowed to become someone healthier, softer, stronger, wiser, and more at peace than you were before. 🤍

Release what no longer serves you.
Make room for what does.

Here’s to becoming the person you were meant to be.
Enjoy the journey. 🌙✨

*Feel free to share pieces of your personal transformation in the comments if you feel led.

Thank you all for being patient with me this last week. SO much happening and yesterday I was just exhausted.

But we got our son graduated from highschool. 1 down, 2 to go!

We were running low on a few things so I'm in production today making Black Salve and our LIFT Under eye serum.

But I wanted to share one of the many stories of real life customers that have used our products with great results.

From Rosemary:
“I honestly didn’t expect anything to help at this point. After suffering a pretty severe chemical burn, I tried multiple creams and ointments, prescription stuff, and nothing seemed to calm the irritation or help my skin heal. The scarring was going to be horrible.

A friend recommended Pharmhouse Healing Salve, and within days I noticed a huge difference. The redness and discomfort started easing, my skin finally stopped feeling so on fire, angry and tight, and the healing process actually began moving forward.

What impressed me most was how soothing it felt immediately after applying it. No stinging, no harsh smell — just relief. I truly believe this salve helped my skin recover when nothing else was working. And my surgeon was super impressed with the healing process noting that my scarring should actually be minimal at this rate! It has absolutely earned a permanent place in my medicine cabinet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

We are so thankful this has helped her! The powerhouse in this Healing Salve is Comfrey, an herb that encourages new tissue growth, is anti-inflammatory, eases pain and burning while providing a protective barrier to ward off infection.

Definitely something we keep on hand and bring with us while travelling.

05/21/2026

Did you know that the chemicals in most commercial sunscreens, Avobenzone and Oxybenzone, cross into the bloodstream through the skin after the first use. A SINGLE application allows these chemicals to enter blood plasma. Both have been flagged as endocrine disruptors and although not officially classified as a carcinogen, disrupting certain hormones and causing oxidative stress secondarily puts many of you at higher risk for skin cancer. Ya'll that's a bad deal. Not to mention that skin cancer rates have skyrocketed since we started incorporating these.

With research, you'll find that almost everything we've been taught about sun protection is inherently backwards. What you put IN your body has just as much of an effect as what you but ON your body.

Not a lot of evidence supports our long ago ancestors, who ate real food and were in the sun a lot more than we are, dying of skin cancer. So, what did they do to avoid sun damage?

Tallow.
It strengthens the skins lipid barrier, offering natural protection from UV rays.
Providing antioxidants that reduce cellular damage of skin cells.
Supports regeneration of healthy cells after sun exposure.

We also know that natural Zinc Oxide blocks UV rays as well, so the combination was a no brainer for our Dawn To Dark Natural Sunscreen. Safe for all ages and skin types and can also be used as an after sun balm.

With summer here, it's a great option to have on hand when you need it. If you unfortunately do happen to get a bad sunburn---Cactus Gel. Get some. Literally the best stuff for a burn. They go with me everywhere during the summer months (and I'm white as a fitted sheet ya'll. Gotta have some help!) But I'm not putting chemical carcinogens on my skin EVER again. The 90's about did me in!

Doing something a little different for our Memorial Day Sale this year.
If you haven't checked your email, do it now!

In addition to extra savings, we are making sure that everyone whose order is over $75 at checkout gets a special FREE GIFT from our Apothecary! (Starting now through Memorial Day)

It is always important to us as a business and as a community to give back to those who consistently support us and this endeavor.

I read somewhere that every small business that became successful had that one year......the year that challenged everything, the year they wondered if they could keep going, the year that dropped in hurdle after hurdle to jump over.

Guys, this might be our year😅😅😅😅. We took a leap of faith to grow our business into a space we love: an abandoned historic Trolley Barn that is on the verge of destruction.

You guys know me. We are NOT millionaires. We are average folks like so many of you trying to feed 3 teenage boys and help our kids get a good education and become good humans without going into massive debt (like I was forced to do). We survive. We persevere. We always have. And we are doing 90% of the work on this place with our own hands. I haven't seen the inside of my house before 8:30pm in 4 months 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫.

We did hit a bump in the road last week. With over 50 large original windows in the buildings we are restoring, 90% of those needing replacement or repairs, we are brainstorming how to get it done in our budget. We got quotes.......$14,000 a window. I threw up in my mouth 🤣. So back to the drawing board! Windows have to be in good working order before we can open! We're going to figure it out!

I say all this to say, that when you support Pharmhouse Apothecary or The 1905 Mercantile, you aren't helping us but a vacation home or live lavishly.
You're helping us make sure we can pay for the summer classes my son wants to take after graduation. Your helping us make a grocery run for a friend going through a hard time. Your helping us save a piece of history that we can call our business home one day. Your helping us help a kiddo who's parents abandoned him. Your helping me not struggle to pay my employees. All these things are not lost on me and I will continue to work hard for you!

Thank you for your love and support through "the tough year." Bigger and better things are on the horizon.

Be well.

It’s definitely not lost on me that the majority of this community is made up of women… and I absolutely love that. 🤎

So much of what I formulate is centered around helping women feel well, age beautifully, support their bodies naturally, and truly enjoy what they’re putting in and on their skin.

BUT…

For quite a while now, I’ve had a full men’s line sitting on the back burner of my brain — and I think it may finally be time to bring it to life. 👀

So I need some input from the gentlemen here… and ladies, feel free to poll the men in your lives for me too.

If our Apothecary rolled out an all-natural men’s collection, which products would you actually want to see?

A. Tallow Skin + Beard Balm
B. Beard Oil
C. Aftershave Splash
D. Tallow Shave Puck
E. Exfoliating Body Polish
F. All of the above because toxic men’s products are getting old 😏

Bonus points if you tell me your favorite masculine scent profiles too ⬇️
(Woodsy? Smoky? Cedar? Leather? Bourbon? Herbal?)

Help me build something the guys we love will actually use.

***These will be in addition to our most loved Cedarwood Tallow Repair Balm and our Jeremiah Johnson Herbal Magnesium Soak for men.

Couple important things this week (and an update on our Community Kiddo!)

1. The storefront will be open Monday thru THURSDAY this week and CLOSED on Friday (My oldest is graduating and lots of employees have family graduating as well)

2. If you have a pick up order, make sure to get it by Thursday afternoon. Anything ordered on Thursday will ship out next Monday.

3. We'll be dropping a fun sale to celebrate graduation soon so make sure your signed up to get our emails to be the first notified!

4. Send all the good thoughts my way as I get through this week. I'm not sad my baby is graduating. I'm excited for him to move on and get this new chapter started. But I'm missing my Mom something terrible. Just wish she could be here.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Our Community Kid Update:
Our boy got his first Car! He couldn't contain his excitement!
He will graduate this week with his community family cheering him on!
He will be going to college!
We are working on independent housing!
He was so astounded by all of the people who stood up to help him without knowing him. He truly is the most precious soul!
Thank you to all who have helped make his life better!!

Sunday check-in 🌿✨

What are y’all planting this summer? 🌱

Herbs? Tomatoes? Wildflowers? Medicinal plants? A whole backyard garden? Or just trying to keep one basil plant alive on the porch? 😂

Drop what you’re growing this season ⬇️ Bonus points for photos because I love seeing everyone’s gardens come to life.

Something has been growing at the Apothecary.....Literally! (please read all the way to the end!)

We recently took a poll to see what areas of need our followers had with regard to their brows and eyelashes.

Overwhelmingly, we saw the need for a product that's been in the works for a while now to aid you with not only growth, lushness, and strength, but doing so in a way that avoids harsh chemicals, toxins, and hormone disruptors as so many synthetic lash and brow serums contain.

We are very proud of results from our NEW Organic Lash and Brow Growth and Integrity Serum! And even more proud of what a great, clean product it is.

A nourishing combination of botanicals crafted to support growth, follicle integrity, thickness, and fuller looking lashes and eyebrows. Free from synthetic anything! No Hormone disruptors! We saw less lash and brow loss, less brittleness, more new growth fullness, and more follicular integrity in testing!

Not a quick fix, but a consistent daily effort for more natural looking brows and lashes.

Trust us. Once you see what this blend can do, you'll never go back.

We used:
Castor oil: rich in fatty acids that deeply condition and carry nutrients into the follicles. Helps reduce dryness and breakage while supporting growth.

Watermelon Seed Oil: Lightweight and packed with vitamins and antioxidants that spur fuller growth and integrity.

Neem Oil: Known for its soothing and purifying propertied, neem helps support a healthy skin environment around follicles while conditioning brittle lashes and brows

Aloe Vera oil: Hydrates and calms inflammation while strengthening eyebrow hair and lashes.

Black Seed Oil: Loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that feed growth and support stronger healthier looking lashes and brows. Reduces shedding.

Vit E: Helps protect and condition brows and lashes from environmental stress while making them soft and flexible.

Rosemary: traditionally used to stimulate and invigorate the hair follicles while supporting healthy circulation to the skin for sustainable growth and integrity.
