Lucia Apothecary, LLC

Created by two women inspired by the coastal beauty of California. We have many visitors in our boutique in Cambria that ask us how we came up with our company name and concept. Lucia is a magical little town on the the Big Sur coast where one can not resist stopping to take in the magnificent views. "Lucia" was the beginning of our creative journey towards expressing our passion and gratitude for nature itself through the design and concept of all of our Lucia Apothecary collections.

Lucia Apothecary creates luxurious bath and body products with ingredients reminiscent of a California garden. Rich olive and sweet almond oils form the base of our sugar scrubs and body oils. Each Lucia scent is inspired by our favorite places along the coast; Malibu, Cambria, Carmel, Mendocino, Laguna, Sausalito.
