handmade in Altadena, CA

Luxurious soaps so good, you almost want to eat it.

Why Apricoty

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.

I just started using these products for a week, and I’m already obsessed! I loved everything my I bought, from their soaps, to their lotions, they have become me my go to. 10/10 recommend
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!
