Our Female C.E.O.
Welcome to ApothekariScience-Backed Skincare That Works Our Female C.E.O. Katherine You know those moments when life aligns in ways you couldn’t have planned? Meeting Sharmani in China was one of those moments for me. At the time, I was searching—searching for skincare that truly worked, searching for answers to the skin struggles I’d faced for years. Like many of you, I’ve been on a journey with my skin. From stubborn acne in my younger years to uneven skin tone and fine lines in my 40s, I had tried countless products. Nothing made a real difference—until I tried Apothekari. When Sharmani sent me some of her formulations in June, I wasn’t expecting much. Yet, within one month, I saw a transformation. My skin was brighter, more even, and healthier-looking. And let’s talk about the natural deodorant—for the first time, I didn’t need to layer perfume just to feel fresh all day! That’s when I knew Apothekari wasn’t just another skincare brand—it was something special. Fast forward, and here I am—honored to continue Apothekari’s legacy as its new owner. Science-backed skincare that delivers real results? That’s a mission I wholeheartedly believe in.

Instagram Facebook Pinterest Our Founder Sharmani Pillay Like so many other women over 40, I was frustrated, confused and overwhelmed when my skin suddenly started to change. I woke up one day, and it felt drier, looked lax and dull, and was even more sensitive, too. So I found myself on a mission to find products that would help my skin (and my self esteem!) feel better, but all the products I researched were made for 25 year olds who still had hydrated skin and collagen production working overtime. I knew I needed something that could actually help treat and improve my mature skin. I kept searching, looking for targeted treatments designed to address the needs of the skin of the age 40 (and beyond!) crowd. Plus, it wasn’t just the skin on my face that needed help–I couldn’t find products to treat ALL the skincare changes that a woman may experience as she ages, from dryness (on your face or down there), to body odor, to skin that’s looking dull and has lost its glow. Let’s face it–there aren’t enough conversations and information about the changes and challenges mature women navigate. The impact of hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause mean mature women’s skin has different needs compared to younger skin. In 2017 I finally took matters into my own hands. I applied all my training and experience as a pharmacist and launched Apothekari to solve not just my own skincare problems, but bring safe and effective solutions to women like you. One thing I learned from my years working as a pharmacist is that just like medication, great skincare products don’t work if you don’t use them. So, I eliminated those unnecessary, extra products and redundant steps that often make skincare routines overwhelming. “Fear marketing is really effective, but there’s also a place for truth, for honesty and integrity. All our products are made with proven ingredients and we avoid those known to be harmful, without ever trying to scare you into buying our products. I created Apothekari to make it easy for you to stick to a simple skincare routine that actually works.” SharmaniPharmacist & Founder, Apothekari Skincare
