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.

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

Claud B
Visited the Apricoty tent at Altadena Farmers market. Love their soaps and lotions which last a long time and smell great.
Holly Muhammad
Greetings APRICOTY! I simply cannot explain my gratitude for your amazing Natural Insect Repellent. My annual pilgrimage to beautiful Barbados 🇧🇧 had always been tainted by a torrent of mosquito bites – until I met you at the Altadena Farmer’s Market. Despite futile efforts, with countless products, I often found myself nursing up to 100 bites a time! Everything changed when I chanced upon your delightful Apricot-Scented Insect Repellent at the Altadena Farmer’s Market. I figured, why not give it one last try? Fast forward to my recent 12-day cruise through the Eastern Caribbean. For the first time, my skin was spared! APRICOTY, you’ve truly transformed my travel experiences. For that, I will be forever grateful. With endless appreciation, Holly

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!
Shannon Hage
Amazing soap, i use the beard and body! It has helped my beard so much smells great too.
Danielle Maddox
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!
Zarik Hacopian
I have been using Apricoty Shampoo Soap for a few months now. My severe hair loss stopped almost immediately after starting to use it and my hair began to grow back. I also use their body soaps and have noticed that dry skin is no longer a problem. Their customer service is as lovely as their products.
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.
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

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!

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.
Lisa Derderian
I love Apricoty products. From the candles, skin care, soaps and honey. If you haven’t tried any of it you’re missing out!!!!
Suzie Ford
Really happy to have found an awesome local company making great natural products. I tried the facial toner, and have been amazed by the results! Love the way it smooths my skin! The soap and chapstick are also incredibly nourishing.
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.
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.
