About Louisa B

Louisa B Apothecary was born from a turning point in my life — a moment of burnout, disconnection, and a deep longing for peace. I left my corporate career because I knew there had to be a better way to live — something more aligned, more soulful.

It started with a bar of handmade soap, inspired by a TV programme and a quiet nudge to try something different. I fell in love with the process. That creative spark became the foundation for a journey of healing, self-discovery, and eventually, transformation through aromatherapy, Reiki, and holistic therapies.

I create every product with care, intention, and the energy of someone who’s been there — who knows what it means to crave calm, clarity, and a gentler pace of life. My soaps, candles, balms, and oils aren’t just self-care products — they’re rituals. They're reminders that your wellbeing matters.

Louisa B Apothecary is for those who want natural, handcrafted alternatives to mass-produced skincare… who want products made with soul, not chemicals. It’s for the ones seeking peace, magic, and deeper connection — in their homes, in their healing, and in themselves. Louise named the company after her great grandma Louisa Brown. 

The philosophy

My philosophy is all about keeping it natural; I only uses essential oils, never any synthetic fragrances. The soaps are coloured using clays or botanical infusions. Each product is made to the highest quality.

I believes my soaps offer the best lather you’ll ever experience! There are no preservatives, parabens, or any nasties in any of the products, and all of our products are suitable for vegans.

Established in 2012

I founded Louisa B Apothecary in 2012 after being inspired by Kirstie Allsopp's soap-making demonstration on TV. I decided to give it a try and was instantly hooked. This marked the beginning of a long journey of experimentation to perfect her soaps and, later, expand into other products. 

In 2013, I trained as an aromatherapist and began creating therapeutic aromatherapy blends to support my holistic therapy clients. From there, Louisa B Apothecary went from strength to strength
