Small Batch Herbal Remedies for Everyday Life
Wildcrafted herbal salves, liniments, serums, and infused soaps made with skin‑loving botanicals like comfrey, plantain, dandelion, and more.
These traditional herbs have been used for generations in folk herbalism and are appreciated for the way they support soft, comfortable, well‑nourished skin.
Handcrafted in Delaware with ingredients you can actually pronounce.
Our bundles make natural care effortless. Each curated set pairs products that work in harmony, supporting everything from daily comfort to grounding self‑care moments to radiant, plant‑powered skincare — all while saving you money.
I’m Heather — a Traditional Western & Folk Herbalist and the maker behind B.A.D. Apothecary.
I didn’t plan on becoming a soapmaker. Another herbal maker asked if I could learn how to make soap for her because she didn’t have the time, and I agreed — mostly because I didn’t have anything better to focus on. My family was still navigating life after the loss of my 13‑year‑old son, and everything felt heavy and quiet.
Then one afternoon, while I was attempting yet another batch of soap that went hilariously wrong, my mom and my daughter Becca started laughing — really laughing — for the first time since his passing. That moment stopped me. I realized this messy little project was giving us something we desperately needed: a spark of joy again.
So I kept going. Becca, who was twelve then (and is twenty‑one now), became my original soaping assistant. My mom jumped in too. What began as a way to bring light back into our home slowly grew into the salves, oils, soaps, and herbal creations I make today.
These products weren’t created for shelves — they were created for my family, with intention, comfort, and simplicity at the center.
Now I make them for you, too.
My formulas stay simple, gentle, and approachable because caring for your skin and your daily rituals shouldn’t feel complicated or expensive.

Let customers speak for us
I LOVE your soaps and they are basically all I use! They make my skin soft and healthy feeling.
My wife bought me your pain relief liniment for the nerve and incision pain that I'm dealing with post surgery. It's the only thing that relieves my pain. I only wish the pain relief coud last longer! Great product, I want more!
Love the salve for congestion. I use it for my husband to stop his snoring. It works!!
Morning Medicine Momma! I had a bee sting beside my belly button. Stinger was left in, and it was itching like crazy! I tried to dig it out with a razor knife. No luck. Last two days, I put some of your black drawing salve on it and it pulled it right to the surface!
Adalyn's Boo Boo Cream is the sh*t!! Been helping all these cracks on my fingers! Just wanted to share that with you!
I use these soaps daily and they never disappoint. My skin is healthier and not dry.
This is my favorite lotion that I’m using right now! It smells wonderful and keeps my skin very soft!! I love it!
