Three Sister’s Apothecary: Handcrafted Artisan Soap Brewed with A Mother’s Love

We won’t lie. We carry an awful lot of soap. Each brand is special in its own way. Some are locally made in the San Juan Islands, others are formulated specifically for certain skin conditions. We carry authentic African black soap bars and aromatic, luxurious soap bars imported from France. Some soap companies are BIPOC-owned and others are women-owned. One of those women-owned companies is Three Sisters Apothecary.

A family-owned company consisting of 2 sisters and a daughter, Three Sisters Apothecary was founded out of necessity, when one of the sisters, Emma, gave birth to daughter Sabrina pre-maturely. The story goes that Emma began making soaps and salves for her daughter, knowing that at just 3 pounds, her itty-bitty bundle of joy would need the best care possible to thrive. When Sabrina was 3, the soap operation really took off, and before they knew it, Three Sisters was making big batches of soap for friends and family. After some encouragement from family, in 1999, Three Sisters Apothecary was born!

Located in Northern California, Three Sisters’ handcrafted soap bars are traditionally made using soap making techniques that date back to the first soap guilds of 7th Century Europe. All of their products are botanically-based and scented with pure essential oils and the highest quality butters. They utilize as many organic ingredients as possible, and when they do use palm oil, it’s always sustainably sourced.

Three Sisters also keep Mother Earth in mind while crafting their soap. All of their packaging is plastic-free and made from recycled content they source locally to cut down on their overall carbon footprint. The packaging is 100% recyclable, so you can indulge with a clean, green conscience.

We decided to bring in even more of their bath and body concoctions. We added their solid shampoo and conditioner bars to our growing selection of plastic-free hair care as well as their moisturizing hair oil, bath soaks, and body butter. With bewitching scents like mission fig & honey, mandarin blossom, dark chocolate mint, and rosemary orange, self-care has never been so magical.

Look for the bubbly cauldron, and then do yourself a favor and transform your bathtub into one for a fantastical fall soak.
