With heartful intention…
We consciously craft our products with love for you and our earth mother in mind.
About Us…
Selkie Sisters Apothecary is located in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, BC in the Unceded Lands & Territories of the K’ómoks First Nations. They are guided by the sun, moon and stars, but have a strong affinity for the pull of the sea.
Allie is a born and raised Van Isle child and Nicole was raised as a tide loving soul in Tsawassen, BC. Their friendship was forged through Kismet in the Valley and they bonded over their passions for health and the healing power of nature.
These beautiful souls support their families and friends with healing balms, teas and tinctures and are now answering the calling to share their knowledge and passion with the collective.
Picked with care
Selkie Sisters Apothecary offers organic body/self care and wellness products with an emphasis on local, ethical and sustainable ingredients.
What goes on your skin goes in to your body, which is why we focus on pure, organic ingredients with no fillers, binders, preservatives or additives.
We are focused on finding ways to reduce our environmental impact that spans from our packaging and shipping to ethical wildcrafting standards and local fair trade sourcing.
Our desire is to create products that are healthy for our bodies and our earth mother.
Our Mission…
Providing you with Body & wellness products that not only support your health, but our Earth Mother as well.
-
Our Beeswax comes from a local Honey Farm in Black Creek and our essential oils when available from Campbell River and when scents are unavailable we source from a lovely shop in Calgary.
The Shea Butter and Coconut Oil comes from a company in Duncan that sources it Ethically from Ghana.
Our Vancouver Island Sea Salt comes from, you guessed it beautiful VanIsle.
We will also be harvesting herbs from our gardens this year to craft in to our products.
-
We purchase our essential oils from companies that have only organic oils that are sourced through ethical & sustainable methods.
Our Shea Butter and Coconut Oil are both imported from Ghana through a Vancouver Island Company using Fair Trade & Wages. The Shea butter is hand crafted by women only through age old techniques passed down through generations and the coconut oil is hand grown and harvested by small holder farms.

Our values impact every element of our brand. From choosing green ingredients that can be found locally to sustainable packaging made of recycled paper and our Recycle/Reuse program encouraging customers to return their glass jars for a discount.
We are also working on growing the herbs that we need to lessen the negative impact the herbal industry is having through unethical wildcrafting.
We also want to help our local pollinators any way we can.
