Welcome to Ana's Apothecary

At Ana’s Apothecary, we believe that skincare should be simple, natural, and eco-friendly. Every item we craft is made with intention, using plant-based ingredients that work in harmony with your body and the environment.

We proudly offer cruelty-free, palm-free, vegan products formulated with care. Unlike many conventional beauty brands, we refuse to use fillers, artificial dyes, or synthetic fragrances. Instead, we rely on nature’s finest elements—botanical extracts, natural colorants, and pure essential oils—to bring you effective, gentle, and luxurious skincare.

But our commitment goes beyond personal care. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We minimize waste, embrace eco-friendly practices, and continually seek ways to reduce our environmental impact. Beauty should never come at the expense of our planet, which is why every choice we make reflects our dedication to conscious, responsible skincare.

We also believe in transparency—because you deserve to know exactly what you're putting on your skin. Our blog is dedicated to educating and empowering our customers, breaking down each ingredient we use and explaining its benefits.

At Ana’s Apothecary, we envision a world where beauty and responsibility go hand in hand. Thank you for joining us on this journey to cleaner, kinder self-care.

How it all started:

Ana Jiménez de Castillo

Ana Castillo Jiménez

At Ana’s Apothecary, our story is one of tradition, family, and a love for nature. It all began as a small, home-based venture—a mother and her two daughters handcrafting natural self-care products, inspired by the wisdom of the past and the possibilities of the future.

The name itself holds a special meaning. There was Ana, the mother, and her daughters, Ana and Nataly. Three women, and if you take the first letters—A-N-A—you get Ana once more. Ana to the third power.

What began as a shared passion for making traditional soaps and wellness products at home soon grew into something more—a commitment to creating high-quality, plant-based alternatives that nourish both body and soul. Our formulations are rooted in nature and crafted with care, emphasizing clean, sustainable ingredients free from harsh chemicals.

Today, Ana’s Apothecary continues to thrive, though the roles have shifted. While the mother, Ana, now resides in the Dominican Republic, her daughter, Ana, has taken the reins, keeping the family business alive and growing in the Twin Cities. With a background in biology and a deep understanding of the impact chemicals have on our health and environment, Ana is dedicated to developing innovative, research-backed products that align with a natural, plant-based lifestyle.

We believe in self-care that is simple, intentional, and kind—to our bodies, our planet, and the generations to come. Ana’s Apothecary remains a family-rooted, woman-owned business, dedicated to crafting the best nature has to offer.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
