Alchemist ✿ Barrier Function Optimizer

Truly an Alchemist

Alchemist is truly the best descriptor for this product as that’s what it does; the seasonal plants are made into this hydrosol which helps my skin fully integrate the products unlike anything else I’ve ever used. In particular, I love and look forward to the juniper each year. It transports me into the Mary Oliver poem, “Sleeping in the Forest” whilst simultaneously tending to my skin, truly making my skincare routine into a ritual.

This mist wakes up my face while calming weather irritants. I use it morning and night before applying my creams.

I’ve been using Alchemist for years and I absolutely love it! It’s the only toner I’ve used that actually works like a toner should. Meaning it helps draw moisture from the oil/moisturizer I use into my skin. Unlike using other products, all of my Apis Apotheca layers sink into my skin shortly after putting them on, helping my skin feel super hydrated, rather than greasy. I love all of the seasonal infusions and love that everything is grown/made locally. Can’t speak highly enough of Apis Apotheca!
