This is a reflection on why I chose the name Apothecary Addict, and what that name has come to mean over time.

When I first began making soap, I kept small notebooks filled with observations about oils, clays, essential oils, plant colorants, butters, waxes, and extracts. Over the years those notes multiplied, and with them grew the desire to have a single place where every ingredient used in my work could be explained properly — not only what it is, but where it comes from, how it is obtained, and what role it serves in the finished bar.

For over twenty years, my fascination with soap has grown into something deeper than admiration — it has become an obsession, a devotion, and yes, a collection. Each bar is a piece of history, a whisper of craft, a testament to patience and care.
