Hi, everyone! The postal service is behind right now. Most tracking info isn't being updated and will often show as "pre-transit" up until the package is delivered. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they are caught up soon! Thanks for your patience, friends.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely amazing. Face the day powder cleanser is now my favorite, one and only, holy grail face wash. If you are looking for something new, if you're on the fence, if you've never tried powder cleanser or you have and didn't think it was for you, just try this, do it now, do it fast! It's a million times better than Tatchas' powder rice cleansers.
Face the Day makes my skin feel so clean and polished. After using my face is bright and even. Its scrubby, but gentle, it mixes up beautifully and rinses cleanly. It's exactly what I've been looking for in a powder cleanser. Adding it to an oil balm cleanser is just lovely. I also plan on gifting these to all the special people in my life, even the ones that don't appreciate incredible skincare products. -

5 out of 5 starsNot to copy the previous reviewer, but this dry shampoo is the best dry shampoo I have ever used! Seriously awesome stuff. Works perfectly, gives lots of volume, feels refreshing, and I love the ingredients. It smells phenomenal- floral, sweet, and fresh. Lots of powder dry shampoos come in minty scents, which is nice and all, but I was looking for something different and this is it! I love the container for its ease of use and cute label as well. Shipping was quick and the item arrived safely wrapped. Excellent experience overall!

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love washing my face with this stuff. Your skin will feel CLEAN & properly exfoliated, not damaged. It makes my face bright & even. It blasts out blackheads & sloughs flakey skin. Seriously, buy this...
Story time:
The 1st time I tired it, I had hiiiiighhh expectations from using this brands Face The Day powder. At first I did not enjoy using it. But! I was convinced it was user error because FTD cleanser totally blew me away. The 2nd time; I measured 1½ tsp & added about ¾tsp of H²O & mixed it in a cup with a milk frother. [yes, I do this now with the FTD cleanser as well, try it] I think the 1st time I was in a rush and the water/powder ratio was off. This time, Soot was just as incredible as it's sister product. I'll be ordering plenty more of both & now I need to try the Matcha cleanser. (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ -

About 1121Apothecary
1121 Apothecary: Smell good. Do good. Feel good.
The tale of the 1121 adventure began in my apartment kitchen. Years ago, I received a gift from my beloved Aunt Gail of beautifully scented soaps of fun shapes and colors. I fell head-over-heels in love with these little bath treats, and was jonesing for more, so I visited the company's website to make a purchase. I was disappointed to find that so much of what was available contained animal products and several unnecessary synthetic ingredients, including abundant amounts of alcohol under the guise of “preservative free”. Researching further, I came to realize that this was more the rule than the exception.
Why couldn’t we have vegan, natural, earth-friendly, fun and high-quality bath and body products? Wait. Why couldn't we?
In the 8 years that followed, I researched and formulated, went back to the drawing board time and time again, researched more, tweaked and adjusted until I had created beneficial products that were good for the user and the environment. I am proud to offer these products to you and am excited for you to enjoy them.
I make everything with my own two little hands, do all the design work, website stuff and photography, as well as all the day to day, packing and shipping.
15% of all sales are donated to charity. This is where "Smell good. Do good. Feel good." comes in. 1121's products make you smell good. When you purchase them, 15% of that sale goes to a worthy organization, so you are doing good. The hope is that smelling good and doing good will end up making you feel good. Make sense? I think so!

Frequently asked questions
Will your bath bombs and Fiz-fetti stain my bathtub?
Nope! Once the water drains, simply rinse away whatever color is left in the bottom tub.
Are your products organic?
Currently, our products sit at about 98% organic materials, depending on the specific
item. All of the fruit and nut oils used in our soap formulas are organic. For your convenience, organic ingredients for each product are marked with an "*" beside them.
Do you use “microbeads”?
Oh, my. Microbeads are a terrible problem, aren’t they? Thanks so much asking. And no;
we only use natural exfoliants in our scrubby products. Some examples include pumice,
cranberry seeds, sea salt, brown rice, black rice and dry botanicals.
How do you make your soap?
1121 creates soap utilizing the “cold process” method for most varieties. In the simplest
terms, fats + lye solution = soap. The lye causes the fats to undergo a process called
“saponification”. This is accomplished without the use of any external heating, thus the
“cold” part of “cold process”. Our soaps sleep in insulated molds over night and then
after being cut into individual bars, are cured for 30 days. By the time the entire process
is complete, there is no actual lye left in the bar.
How long will my bar of soap last?
A long time! Depending on how big ‘a person you are and how well you care for your
bar, it can last a month or more!
Ok, then. How do I take proper care of my bar?
A few simple things can make a HUGE (so huge we needed caps!) difference in how
long it takes your bar to dwindle.
A) Keep ‘er out of direct streaming water. Your bar is made of soap, so it doesn’t need to
shower.
B) Don’t allow your bar to sit in a puddle. Enlist the help of a draining soap dish or store
it on your shower caddy, so long as it is out of the direct flow of water.
That’s it!
Why does my soap look different from the photo in your Etsy shop?
We’re a creative lot and while the ingredients of your bar will stay the same, we might
take some artistic liberties from batch to batch. We like to think of each bar as a unique
piece of art. No 2 are identical!
My bar of soap seems bigger/smaller than the last one I got. What gives?
Handmade soap will always have small variations in weight. At the extremes, we can
have bars that are 4-6 ounces. The smallest bars are always cut into samples. All of the
bars that get to you are as close to a 5 ounce minimum, as possible… and if you get one
of the bigg’uns, lucky you!
Are you guys environmentally responsible?
Boy howdy, do we try to be! A few things:
1) Our lip tubes are made from 100% recycled materials.
2) Our soap and gift boxes are made from 100% recycled paper pulp.
3) Shipping: Our padded shipping envelopes, cardboard boxes and shipping labels
are 100% recycled.
4) We use sustainable materials in our products.
5) We use as little paper as possible and recycle what we do use.
6) Our business cards & printed materials are made from recycled paper and printed
with earth-friendly inks.
7) Our packing material and gift “fill” are made from 100% recycled paper.
8) Our small kraft bags are made from 40% recycled materials and our handled
shopping bags from 100%.
