The enigma Pure Apotheca draws on the origins of the brand and reflects the evolution of the business since its inception in 2020. The brand began as a range of soaps, body care and skincare rooted in pure, organic and natural ingredients formulated and produced by owner Rachel which drew on her pharmacist background and compounding knowledge. As the brand expanded to include a carefully curated array of finegoods and evolved into its first retail space, the name reflects its vast collation of unique homewares, gifts and one of kind pieces that make up the range.

Rachel and her entire family have a strong and long standing connection to Summer Hill and have made it their mission to create a warm welcoming space for everyone to enjoy and one where Pure Apotheca is an extension of our hearts, home and family.
