OUR STORY

We’re Kate and Laura, co-owners of Honeywild Apothecary! We make natural, sustainable, skin and home products by hand in small batches. Best friends turned business partners - we had dreamed together of starting a sustainable skin and home care business that created honest, effective products. We launched Honeywild in 2021, and it has been an amazing experience working together to create a company that is transparent, and trustworthy. 

At Honeywild, we care about people and the planet, and we believe what you put on your body should be good for you too. We source all of our ingredients consciously: we use organic ingredients when possible and choose sustainable options that protect the earth. 

From the beginning it was important to us to know the origins of the ingredients in our products, so we decided to do as much of it ourselves as possible. We grow our own flowers and herbs when our climate allows, and forage wild resources whenever possible. All of the honey and beeswax used in our products is produced responsibly on our farm or by a neighboring beekeeper. 

Many of our products are zero-waste, natural alternatives to conventional options, like lotion bars, shave soaps, and more! We use compostable, reusable, or recyclable packaging, and plastic free packing materials.

We believe in keeping the process simple, natural, beautiful.

OUR PRODUCTS

We create natural skincare products that support you and the earth. We thoroughly investigate and vet every ingredient and product, testing and formulating until every detail is just right.

All our products are crafted in small batches, ensuring freshness and allowing us to maintain a high level of quality control. Each product is intentionally designed. We infuse oils with flowers and herbs to provide added benefits.

We strive to make skincare that is safe and natural for you and your loved ones. Transparency is important to us, and we list each ingredient used so you can make an informed decision.

THE TEAM

Hi, we’re Kate and Laura, founders of Honeywild Apothecary. We’ve been friends for almost 20 years, and we share a passion for growing, creating, and foraging. Our hope for Honeywild is that we can be a trustworthy source for natural and effective body and home products.

Other fun facts about us: we love gardening, plants, animals, Dunkin’, Taylor Swift, baskets and more baskets, knitting, thrift stores and old houses.

Thanks for being here.

I live with my partner, feisty kid, and cat Marty. I’m always making something, and love creating beauty wherever I can. I began my sustainable journey through the zero waste movement almost 15 years ago when I began working toward a minimal waste lifestyle. This shift prompted me to learn how to start making my own home and skincare products, and I’ve been hooked ever since!

I live with my partner just outside of Chicago. We’re lucky to have two kids, a dog, a sheep, a cow, two bunnies, chickens, and bees. Since a young age I have always loved to grow and make things. While the days of mixing vaseline and pixie sticks to make my own lip balm is far behind me, you can still find me concocting all sorts of creations on a daily basis.
