Celebrating One Year of Iris Dahlia Apothecary

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since I took the leap into small business ownership and brought Iris Dahlia Apothecary to life. What started as a passion project to create bath and body products, like bath bombs, sugar scrubs, and candles, has blossomed into something so much more than I ever imagined.

In those early days, I found myself reconnecting with my spiritual side and deepening my connection with nature. That inner transformation led to the creation of my Ritual Collection and guided the apothecary in a new, soulful direction, towards witchy skincare rooted in intention, healing, and self-discovery.

This journey has not only shaped my business but helped me uncover who I truly want to be. I’ve come to deeply believe in the power of everyday rituals—the small, sacred acts of self-care that ground us and restore us. Today, Iris Dahlia Apothecary is centered around that very idea: The Ritual of Self-Care.

Of course, this past year hasn’t been without its challenges. There were moments of doubt and days I felt like giving up. But I stayed the course, and I’m so glad I did. The apothecary now offers a wide range of handcrafted skincare products designed for different skin concerns, along with ritual kits inspired by powerful deities and magical self-care tools to nourish both body and spirit.

To everyone who has supported me on this journey—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your encouragement, kind words, and shared love for intentional self-care mean everything.

Here’s to another year of growth, magic, and radiant skin! I can’t wait to see where the next chapter leads.

With love and gratitude,

Katie
