The Sage Apothecary

The Sage Apothecary provides personalised holistic solutions from perfectly tailored herbal medicine prescriptions; to bespoke facials & skincare formulations. Originally founded in New Zealand in 2015, the clinic and herbal dispensary moved to the UK in 2018 bringing its natural and holistic ethos, principals, and formulations along for the ride. The Sage Apothecary is built on the unshakeable truth that everyone is unique – from their fingerprints to skin & gut microbiomes – you’re not a one size fits all solution and therefore your path to wellness shouldn’t be either. So no matter what we’re doing – whether that’s prescribing herbal medicine, designing a holistic skin treatment or formulating skincare – the bottle always starts off empty.

Let’s be honest… Christmas shopping can be a full-time job. But not on my watch. ✨⁣
⁣
Say hello to our brand-new curated gift boxes — packed with aromatherapy goodness, herbal magic, cosy treats, chocolatey delights and eco-friendly treasures. Basically: gifts that actually sleigh.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re shopping for the tea obsessive, the candle sniffer, the chocoholic, the beauty queen, the apothecary apprentice… or the friend who’s “so hard to buy for” (lies)…we have got you covered whatever your budget.⁣
⁣
I’ve got a box that’ll make you look like you tried waaaaay harder than you did.⁣
⁣
Oh — and they’re discounted. Yes. Discounted. Because I’m in my festive-giving mode. 🎁✨⁣
⁣
Stress? Wrapped. Magic? Delivered. ⁣
⁣
Pop by the apothecary, slide into my DMs or simply visit http://bit.ly/48irNW1 to grab yours — before the elves do.⁣

New in the apothecary… tiny tins of chaos 😍⁣
⁣
We’ve summoned the cutest little grow kits and honestly? They’re doing the absolute most. They’re perfect for Christmas gifts, stocking fillers, or a little “I survived this year” treat. ⁣
⁣
Fancy growing:⁣
⁣
Red Hot Chili Peppers? 🌶️ ⁣
Frida-worthy flowers? 🌺 ⁣
The purrfect cat treat? 🐱 ⁣
Herbs that elevate your kitchen game? 🌿 ⁣
⁣
The tins come fully loaded — 3 different seed varieties, soil discs, biodegradable pots and idiot-proof instructions. Stick em in the tin, scatter them in the garden, or put them in a random pot and hope for the best. Nature loves commitment issues.⁣
⁣
And yes — we’ve got mini kits too because sometimes you want 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 responsibility:⁣
⁣
Grow your Own Herbal Tea 🫖 ⁣
Tiny but unhinged Jalapeño Seeds chili 🌶️ ⁣
Eco Mini Basil Kit 🪴 ⁣
⁣
Why we love them:⁣
- Eco-friendly (because we like cute AND ethical)⁣
- Organic, batch-tested seeds (they actually grow, shocking) ⁣
- Beginner friendly (no green thumb required, just vibes)⁣
- Perfect “I didn’t panic-buy this” gifts⁣
- Everything included (no running around, no crying)⁣
⁣
Who likes socks and pants anyway? Yawn. Grow plants instead. Come have a nosey in the apothecary before they disappear… ⁣
🌶️🌿✨

New goodies just landed in the apothecary — by popular demand (See? I do listen 😌)⁣
⁣
AROMATHERAPY ROOM MIST:⁣
⁣
Your new non-toxic bestie.⁣
High-quality essential oils + a plant-based, alcohol-free, glycol-free base = a superior scent throw without the endocrine-disrupting chaos nobody needs in their life.⁣
⁣
Mist your pillow for dreamy sleeps, spritz your bathroom, freshen that kitchen — basically, bless your entire house. In our three signature scents: Shorebreak • Meadow • Temple⁣
⁣
🔥 MEGA MEADOW CANDLE ⁣
⁣
The big girl has arrived.⁣
⁣
500ml of our bestselling Meadow scent (Lavender, Geranium + a whisper of Tea Tree).⁣
She’s nearly three times the size of our usual candles, has three cotton wicks for an equal burn, and still comes in at just £40 — the price of two regular candles, but with way more oomph. ⁣
⁣
Clean-burning, plant-wax, hand-poured, ethical, sustainable, and absolutely not shy with the essential oils. Summer mornings + Devon countryside in one glorious glow 😍⁣
⁣
These beauties won’t hit the website until next week, but the keen beans can get theirs early — just drop by the apothecary or slide into my DMs yeah 🌿💌

Our Story

At The Sage Apothecary, we take our wisdom from Mother Nature. We're proud to say this is nothing new. After all, plants have likely been used in Herbal Medicine since before history was ever recorded. There's hard evidence that they were used by the Egyptians, too. And let's face it, Cleopatra had it goin' on. At The Sage Apothecary we have a few rules by which we live – not only do we never test on animals but we only use the highest quality, natural ingredients. And, what you see on the ingredients list is what you get. No sneaky, undeclared parabens, PEGs, petrochemicals, sulphates, additives or fragrances hiding here or there…we believe in 100% transparency. All of our products are only ever produced in small batches. They are naturally-handcrafted in the two beautiful coastal locations of Bude, Cornwall in the UK and Mount Maunganui in New Zealand - all using artisan and traditional herbal methods.
