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.
01
Brightening
Vitamin E for radiance and elasticity.
02
Moisturizing
Vitamin A leaves skin soft and smooth.
03
Strengthening
Linoleic acid reinforces the skin barrier.
04
Softening
Absorbs easily — it mirrors skin’s own oils.
05
Calming acne
Anti-inflammatory, so it soothes breakouts.
