About Us

Our Story

Mountain Apothecary originated as a personal interest before evolving into a thriving enterprise in August 2020. The concept of offering a minimalist yet opulent product range at an accessible price formed the cornerstone of our brand ethos. The name was inspired by the vision of an elegant boutique nestled at the foot of a mountain, specializing in handcrafted items including candles, perfumes, body lotions, and beyond. Our fragrances draw inspiration from the pristine allure of nature. Initially exploring soy candles and cold processed soap, we subsequently transitioned to exclusively crafting coconut soy wax candles.

Our Mission

At Mountain Apothecary, our commitment to 'Better Home and Body Fragrance' underscores our dedication to delivering exceptional products to our valued customers. Our formulations boast premium ingredients meticulously selected to ensure superior quality and are meticulously crafted without harsh chemicals, prioritizing an enhanced sensory experience.

Furthermore, our ethos extends beyond product excellence to encompass meaningful contributions to various causes. These include our unwavering support for small businesses within our community, our steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship through awareness initiatives and tree-planting endeavors, and our advocacy for mental health awareness programs, nurturing the well-being of individuals.

Central to our mission is the belief that luxury goods should be accessible to all, while simultaneously upholding our responsibility to give back to society. As Mountain Apothecary continues to expand, we are poised to magnify our positive impact on the community, while also broadening our sphere of influence in providing premium offerings.

Currently, we have forged a partnership with One Tree Planted, a nonprofit organization dedicated to global reforestation efforts. Through this collaboration, for every eligible 7-ounce candle purchased, marked accordingly on their product pages, we pledge to donate $1 to One Tree Planted at the conclusion of each year. This initiative underscores our commitment to sustainability and making a tangible difference in safeguarding our planet's future.


Meet the Owner

Hello, I'm Nick!

Growing up I have always wanted to have a product-based business. As a sufferer of many interests, it was very hard to decide on one product category. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I bought a candle making kit for fun and I actually loved it! Those first candles were honestly not the best however, it helped me realize that this whole time I knew what product I wanted to create! I have always been a candle fiend. I hoarded candles from different brands trying to find the perfect candle, but of course without spending a fortune on a single candle. I have a confession, I am picky! I liked this scent but not the vessel, this vessel is nice but the label is not me, I love this label but the scent is not complex enough. Can you see how my mind works?

This helped me to research different fragrance oils, vessels, label options. With some trial and error I finally created the candle that I love! I have created a product that is safer and better to have in your home while also giving back to the community and the environment. And this business opportunity has made me so happy. I have the love and support of my friends and family, the outlet to create, and the opportunity to meet new people! Despite the hardships of owning a business and filling every role, this is something that I want to continue for as long as I am able to.

If I ever get the opportunity to meet or work with you, I cannot wait! I want to create a journey that helps others and the environment together!
