Welcome to Ana's Apothecary

At Ana’s, we believe that transformation begins with intention.
What you put on your body, what you breathe in, and what you surround yourself with all shape your energy, your rhythm, and your light.

Every creation we craft is a reminder that even the smallest act of self-care can be an act of alchemy — a moment of turning the ordinary into the sacred.

Rooted in nature and guided by intuition, our products are made with pure, plant-based ingredients that honor both your body and the Earth. Each blend — from our body oils and soaps to our roll-on perfumes and diffuser oils — is designed to harmonize with your natural energy and awaken your senses.

We are proud to remain cruelty-free, palm-free, and vegan, formulating without fillers, artificial dyes, or synthetic fragrances. Instead, we trust the wisdom of botanicals, essential oils, and minerals to nurture you in ways that feel both gentle and profound.

Our self-care rituals are a philosophy. We believe in living slowly, breathing deeply, and reconnecting with the natural cycles that sustain us. Sustainability is woven into everything we do, from our ingredient sourcing to our packaging.

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.
