We’re committed to making a difference in the choices we make, the causes we support, and the materials we use. Apis Mercantile body care products are produced in a facility that is certified Cruelty Free by Leaping Bunny, internationally recognized as the gold-standard in cruelty free certification. Our body butter is packaged in recyclable glass and utilize TerraSkin labels, a sustainable eco-friendly paper alternative. TerraSkin labels consist of 80% calcium carbonate, the same mineral in marble and limestone, and 20% polyethylene resin. The production of this tree-free and water-free paper only requires half the energy required to make traditional paper. Using TerraSkin labels is part of our effort to #BeeBetter every day. Liam and I first met in Richmond, Virginia as teenagers and became fast friends. In 2010, I moved to Charleston, SC to attend college, explore the historic Southern city, and surf on Folly Beach. In 2011, Liam and a contingent of Virginia friends, including Matt, our partnered hemp farmer, joined me at the College of Charleston. That same year, we started our first hives in the backyard of our St. Philip street home, tending to them between college classes and weekends spent on the beach. Matt started an expansive backyard garden growing everything from tomatoes to mint and muscadine grapes. It was an incredible home filled with laughter and friendship, and I’ll always look back fondly on those college years. Eventually, we all moved on from that downtown house, but the years we spent there made an indelible impression on all of us. Matt would go on to start Ivanhoe Farms, an organic hemp farm in Ramah, Colorado, and Liam and I would found Apis Mercantile. Today, the three of us are still working (and laughing) together, and are thrilled to combine our passion for hemp and honey and share it with the world!
