Frequently Asked Questions


Are your products vegan?

Many of our products are vegan, and those that are not vegan contain beeswax. Each vegan product is labeled as such. All of our products respect animals and are ethically produced.

Are your products cruelty-free?

Yes! Hyssop Beauty Apothecary is a cruelty-free company. We never test on animals, nor do we purchase ingredients that promote animal cruelty. We are proud members of PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies program.

Why aren't all of your products organic?

There are certain ingredients that we feel are very important to purchase organic and will always do so. For all of our other ingredients, we decide if using organic is beneficial on a case-by-case basis. Some ingredients are wild-harvested.

What is the shelf-life of your products?

All of our products are best used within one year. We recommend storing your Hyssop Beauty Apothecary items in a cool place free from extreme temperature and humidity changes, and away from direct sunlight.

Do you use preservatives in your products?

Some of our products require a preservative to prevent mold and bacteria from forming. We use Lactobacillus Ferment for this purpose. Lactobacillus is commonly found in sauerkraut and kimchi and is very effective as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial.
