Jennifer Klassen
Jennifer Klassen started Petal Apothecary in 2025 out of a simple belief: skincare should be as honest as the ingredients in it. What began as kitchen counter experiments to calm her rosacea without steroids has grown into a small-batch apothecary based in Port Alberni, BC, where we grow and hand-harvest many of our own herbs and flowers.
Every product is formulated, mixed, and bottled by our small team — not mass-produced in a factory. We test each batch for our consistent high-quality, and we're proud to be cruelty-free, vegan, and hand-made in Canada.
Our Philosophy
From Soil to Skin
We cultivate and harvest our own herbs and flowers to create skincare that reflects the beauty and simplicity of nature. Every ingredient tells a story — nurtured with care in our garden, then thoughtfully blended in small batches to preserve its potency.
