Why Apricoty

Good for your skin, honest all the way down

We grow it, keep it, and make it ourselves — so you know exactly what’s in every bar, balm, and jar.

All-natural, always

Plant-based, cruelty-free formulas with no artificial dyes, preservatives, or harsh chemicals.

Straight from our hives

Raw honey and golden beeswax from Kevork’s own bees go right into our balms, salves, and candles.

Small-batch by hand

Every bar and bottle is mixed, cut, and wrapped by hand in small batches here in Altadena.

Herbs we grow ourselves

Calendula, rosemary, mint, and lavender from our backyard micro-farm, infused by hand for potency.

Rooted in heritage

Named for apricot kernel oil and the apricot, Armenia’s national fruit — a nod to Kevork’s family story.

Family-owned in Altadena

A small family business rebuilding after the Eaton Fire, one careful batch at a time.

Our story · The rebuild

Kevork’s kitchen, one apricot at a time

Kevork started making soap in his kitchen in 2019, infusing it with herbs he grows himself — calendula, rosemary, mint, lavender. The name nods to apricot kernel oil, a core ingredient, and to the apricot itself: Armenia’s national fruit, and a quiet tie to his family’s heritage.

He also keeps his own bees — every jar of honey and beeswax candle starts in those hives. When the Eaton Fire took our production space in January 2025, the community showed up. We’re rebuilding, one small batch at a time.

the holy grail of skincare

Why apricot?

The real magic lives in the oil pressed from apricot kernels — rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, C, E, and K, it’s one of the true holy grails of natural skincare.

The full apricot story →

Brightening

Vitamin E for radiance and elasticity.

Moisturizing

Vitamin A leaves skin soft and smooth.

Strengthening

Linoleic acid reinforces the skin barrier.

Softening

Absorbs easily — it mirrors skin’s own oils.

Calming acne

Anti-inflammatory, so it soothes breakouts.

What people are saying

Louise Manfe
Apricoty makes some outstanding skincare products. So far everything that I’ve tried is really beneficial to my sensitive skin. As someone who suffers with Eczema I trust Apricoty to keep my skin clean and moisturized without harmful chemicals that irritate my eczema prone skin. You will love these products.

I went to the Altadena farmers market with my sister and neice/ nephew. We met the owner of apricoty, he was so knowledgeable & friendly! The handmade soaps were made sooo beautifully. He was so nice he actually gave me a lip balm! I honestly used it to the last drop!! It was smooth and natural.. I will be back for more and I will send my friends and family your way all day!
Amanda Obregon
Such good variety of products and all natural ingredients. I really love the clean look of the packaging and the owner was super helpful in telling us where he produces his products.

Update: Silvia is back today at Larchmont Farmers Market. 👏❤️ Bought more incredibly scented soaps, soft shampoo bar, subtle solid cologne, and more! This is becoming a habit when she visits. A good #healthyhabit. 😁 So many choices. Pervious:Purchased the Minty Gingeric Soap at the Larchmont farmers market. Smells wonderful, but it was the appearance, like rusted corrugated metal, that caught my eye. Very cool.

I can’t recommend Apricoty enough, they use high quality natural ingredients that are actually good for you! I am currently obsessed with Apricotys Hand Salve! It keeps my hands soft and moisturized 🙂 Their cuticle oil is perfection as well!
Molly Ritter
I bought the Eshi Yugh salve, and CANNOT get enough of it! My poor hands were so dry and cracked and this finally made them soft again! Would highly recommend
Allyson Dawn Su
Amazing natural body and mind empowerments
David Margaryan
Very good candles and service.
Sarah Cruz
I love the minimal all natural ingredients in his unscented and scented body and face lotion. The lavender scent is very soothing after a long days shower. His unscented works wonders for my face, leaving it moisturized and more even toned!

I have met Apricoty at the Glendale Artsakh Farmers market and let me tell you this guy is awesome! He has his own bee hive which is impressive and his products are made from his own bee wax. Tried his chapsticks and they are very natural and hydrating! His candle in Armenian flag is still one that I use in my room. He has candle jars in different birth months/zodiac signs- I think that’s an amazing present and gift idea! Definitely check his store out! Thank you Apricoty, We love you!❤️
Coby Jones
Honestly a great experience looking at all of the natural products. The owner Kevork is very nice and you can tell he cares a lot about his products as well as customer satisfaction. I would personally recommend the nail products.

Immediately smelled the lovely incense and fell in love. Sylvia was super helpful and fun to talk to. I ended up getting a few other little things.

Unbelievable products, never going to use another body wash or shampoo again! Once you go Apricoty you can’t go back 🌞
Polly Geller
Sublime! Sublime! One of the best kiosks with products I will come back for. Beeswax candles of all adorable sizes? Check. Aromatherapy soaps? Check! Love potions? Why not? Cuticle oil? Yes, please. And lip balms? Bring em on!!! Thank you, Kev & Sierra! Another reason to get out to the Farmers Market in La Cañada Saturday morning !!!
Claud B
Visited the Apricoty tent at Altadena Farmers market. Love their soaps and lotions which last a long time and smell great.
Andrew Weller
We love Apricoty, especially their soaps and honey!
Ashley Duarte
Amazing products! I enjoy the smell and consistency of the bar soaps. I also got the sweet apricoty butter lip balm and it was so hydrating. 10/10!
Inna
Apricoty has exceeded my expectations of their products! The more I tried, the more I was blown away with the quality of ingredients, such as oils, seeds, the formula, and how it made my skin feel. It has become my go to company since they first start introducing themselves to farmers market. They only got better and they were able to keep the prices low at the highest quality ingredients which I love. Supporting local businesses is my way of giving back.
Rosie Sargsyan
My absolute favorite product from Apricoty is their Orange Tangerine Sugar Scrub! I use it every morning to clean my face and my skin smells and feels great afterwards 😀 already going through my second tub of the stuff! Another product I love from Apricoty is their incense! My daughter brought home the Armenian Holy Khoung and the Rosewood incense and I’m always bugging her to light them because it makes the office and then the rest of the house smell amazing!
Clara “CK” Krjalian
I absolutely love Apricoty’s all-natural products! I’ve tried several of them, and each one has been fantastic. The honey is delicious, and the bug repellent, cuticle oil, and soaps are amazing. My husband, who is a mechanic, loves the mechanic’s pumice soap, it’s done wonders for his hands! It’s so refreshing to find products that work well and are made with natural ingredients. Highly recommend!
Patrick King
Great products and friendly staff. A
Silvia Tonapetian
The clay hair pomade has been a great product to use when styling my hair. It doesn’t feel crunchy and the more you work the product in, there aren’t streaks left behind. The smell? Phenomenal! All in all, I really enjoy the pomade.
