Nana Kat’s Apothecary
Nana Kat’s Apothecary creates all-natural, vegan and sustainable Skincare carefully hand-crafted in their Apothecary inspired by plant lore and folk herbalism. They are a small family-run business, an artist, a plant lover & a medical herbalist based on the East Coast of Scotland.
They are inspired by Scottish landscapes, Scottish folk stories and a desire to live and craft mindfully alongside nature. They take great joy in using botanicals that can be found in the hedgerows and woods, such as Rosehips, Dandelion and Chamomile. Many of their carefully crafted skincare products are named after Scottish folk tales and their deep links to nature.
They are passionately against the idea that skincare should ever include the term ‘anti-ageing’, which suggests that ageing is a problem. They believe that no one should ever apologise for ageing and with age comes wisdom, and the story of life. So they make skincare for ‘Wise & Mature Skin’ as well as skincare suitable for other skin types.
Their sustainability values can be found in their recyclable and/or reusable packaging, ethically sourced ingredients and when possible the use of ‘upcycled’ ingredients- such as Apricot Oil, a byproduct made from the jam industry.
