About the Maker

Hello! I'm Jane Anderson, owner of Elderwood Apothecary. Thanks so much for supporting my small business. It is so important in this day and age to spend our money in ways that support a positive and intentional vision for the future. I work to live each day in a way that spreads love and kindness to others and supports this beautiful planet we call Earth. What I put out in the world is very important to me and this is reflected in the work I do and the business I have built (and am still building) at Elderwood Apothecary.
I believe in hand-crafted natural, chemical-free skincare that uses simple ingredients (that we all can pronounce) and a simple creation process. Products that are made for you, to enrich the quality of your skin and make you feel better about your body.
Rest assured that I've crafted every balm with exceptional care and the highest quality ingredients. You can trust me that I've searched for the least adulterated beeswax, butters and oils to put in my balms. That the care I give my own skin is reflected in the products I make and share with you.
I urge you to take a few moments every day to nourish your hands after all those hours of working, crafting and creating. Give your hands a break and take care of them with Maker's Hand Relief. A product that has been formulated specifically for fiber artists, woodworkers, sewers, jewelers, potters, painters. A balm that you can rub on that cracked dry skin, those hangnails and then get right back to making. Read all about how I got my start making balm and where this business journey has taken me over the years on my blog.
Thanks so much for visiting!
With Gratitude,
Jane
