Just a heads-up (TL;DR): Things will look a little different on our product packaging and our online presence in the near future.
We’re rebranding to TRAIL BOTANICA !!
Only our name and logo will be changing. Please keep following us – no changes needed – and don’t be a stranger!

No matter if you choose to celebrate a tradition or not, you may in fact, want some handmade soap, plastic free deodorant, or other adventure skincare products for this winter’s season. Because of our rebranding schedule being so close to the holidays, we will be processing and shipping orders through midnight December 15th for USPS first class and Dec 17th for Priority, so that they can go out on time.
After those dates, we will turn our shop on vacation mode and when we reopen, on January 1st, 2022 it will look a bit different under our new name. Although, mostly the same. Your continued support between now and then is GREATLY appreciated!
Sincerely, Eryn
Owner and soapmaker of Apothecary Muse
With the recent changes in supply and demand, shipping costs and our unexpected relocation; we are making some modest price increases (average: 12%) in order to stay in business. Full disclaimer: we had calculated and announced price increases just before the pandemic, but decided to hold off until the raw material costs came back down. It doesn’t look like that is happening, ever. In order to continue providing the same quality and size of soap (we polled our Instagram audience), we needed to recalculate the costs and the new prices are live on all channels. We hope you understand, think the quality of our products are still worth your support, and will continue to shop with us and the retailers who stock our products.
The price changes are as follows (former price noted):
SOAP
Super Simple Soap $7 (7, no change)
Fountain of Youth $10 (8)
Blissed Out $10 (8)
Meditation Mixer $9 (8)
Luna Love $10 (8)
Morning Monster $9 (8)
Into The Woods $10 (8)
Bike Face $10 (8)
Full Moon Ride $10 (8)
Purifying Spa $10 (8)
Woodsy Warrior $9 (8)
Chocolate Thief $9 (8)
DEODORANT
-all $10 still $10 (increased batch size reduced labor cost)
LIP (Note: new formula without Coconut to launch 2022)
Skinny Dipper $8 (7)
Winter Warrior $8 (7)
Epic Trail $8 (7)
We still have a handful of specialty items made in small batches to recalculate or discontinue, but we expect all product categories will have prices finalized before the new year.
Sincerely,
Eryn Hughes, Owner and soapmaker

A mode
Coming up on May 8th, 2021,from 10 am to 2 pm, we will be hosting a preorder pickup party through our studio window. We will be joined by The Bearded Iris Floral who is making special Mother’s Day floral arrangements and taking orders through their new website. You can pickup both orders on Saturday through our side window, shopping each website separately.
We have a generous gift bundle featuring florals, as well. When placing your order use the Local Pickup shipping option and leave a note for us with your order that you plan to pickup that Saturday. We’ll also have native wildflower seed bombs on site available for free.
Alternately, you can proceed with making a weekday afternoon appointment (limited hours) and pickup your Apothecary Muse order then. The Bearded Iris Floral arrangements will be prepared for Saturday, May 8th pickup ONLY.
Apothecary Muse isn’t planning to resume participating in public, local events during the pandemic until herd immunity is achieved. At that point, it may be more selective than before. We appreciate your continued support!
In order to meet increased production demand, we will be making a small shift in our schedules to assemble online orders for pickup only Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This should still support the essential USPS service, maintain safe and sanitary product handling, while still maintaining our 1-2 business day fulfillment goals – it is our hope that the shift should be indistinguishable to the regular customers who sustain our business.
The change, on our end, allows us to have longer time blocks to make larger batches of products on the days in between fulfillment days, while we also continue to host Local Pickups through our production studio window on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We appreciate your patience as we find a working balance that meets everyone’s needs.
