Welcome to the Apothecary
Herbal Skincare & Organic Sugaring, Straight From a Tennessee Homestead
Hi, I'm Jen — a Certified Master Herbalist and Naturopath, and the one-woman force behind JBHomemade Sugaring & Skin Care. Everything here is handmade in small batches on our 180-acre homestead: botanical skincare crafted from herbs I grow or source from local Amish farms, and organic sugaring paste made the old way, with just sugar, lemon, and water.
This blog holds 10+ years of tutorials, recipes, and behind-the-scenes homestead life — some of it a little dusty these days, but the plant wisdom in it still holds up. For the freshest updates, my full ingredient glossary, and the current shop, head over to the main site.
