FAQs

What makes Makoii Apothecary unique compared to other skincare and wellness brands?

Makoii Apothecary proudly operates as a deliberate, small-scale studio for specific reasons. We grow about 85% of our plants ourselves organically in Ladakh and source the remaining 15% from small organic farms. Being a micro-batch enterprise dependent on fresh plants, our production is constrained by seasonal availability and our commitment to handcrafted processes. Our approach is characterized by transparency, purity, ethics, and freshness. Each bottle reflects the dedication and authenticity put into its creation, ensuring a high-quality premium product.

Are your ingredients natural and organic?

Absolutely. The sole raison d'être of Makoii Apothecary is to offer a skincare and wellness brand centered on simplicity. Our mission is to provide products crafted from high-altitude plants, where the process begins from seed planting to bottling the final product - all of which is done by us. By cultivating the majority of the plants ourselves, we guarantee the purity, organic nature, and natural essence of our products. This is why we emphasize that we are a slow, micro-batch, and seasonal apothecary.

How do you ensure that your products maintain high quality and effectiveness?

The formulation of our products is simple yet demands significant time and effort. We utilize pure, unadulterated, fresh plant materials, with the majority sourced from our own cultivation and a few from small-scale organic farmers. Each little bottle is meticulously handcrafted with care. Our products undergo trials by our Amchi (Tibetan Doctor), whose feedback is incorporated into the formulation. Additionally, laboratory testing is conducted to guarantee quality before the products are made available to you.
