About Us
Born from need.
Built with love.
Hi, I'm Tricia — the heart, hands, and homeschooling momma behind Cashmere Apothecary.
What started as a deep love for natural ingredients and a desire to care for my family without harsh chemicals has grown into something I'm incredibly proud of: a woman-owned, passion-driven business built on over 20 years of soap-making experience.
How It All Began
Cashmere Apothecary didn't begin with a business plan — it began with a rash. For years, every product I tried, even those marketed for sensitive skin, left me covered in hives. Frustrated and out of options, I did the only thing left: I learned to make my own.
What started as a simple soap for my own skin slowly became something more. When my son's lips cracked and bled and nothing off the shelf could heal them, I made a lip balm. When my mother's shingles left scars on her face, I crafted a face cream to help her skin recover. When my father was tortured by knotted muscles in the night, I made a magnesium butter that finally gave him relief.
"Every product in our line exists because someone in my family needed it — and nothing else worked."
Twenty years later, that same spirit drives every batch we make. We don't test on animals — just family. And our family has put these products through their paces.
Naturally luxurious, by design
We believe you shouldn't have to choose between what's pure and what's indulgent. Every product at Cashmere Apothecary is made with ingredients you can trust — and an experience that feels like a true luxury ritual.

Made With Love,
For You
Cashmere Apothecary is a woman-owned business run by a homeschooling mom who believes that what you put on your body matters as much as what you put in it. This is more than a business — it's how we care for our family, and how we hope to care for yours.
When you choose Cashmere Apothecary, you're not just buying a product — you're supporting a dream. You're choosing handmade over mass-produced, organic over synthetic, and a real person over a faceless corporation. Every product that leaves my hands is made with the same care I'd give to something for my own family. Because to me, that's what it's always been about.
"Why not do it in a beautifly luxurious way?"
With gratitude,
