MEET OUR FOUNDER, joanna
Welcome to Jostylin’s Apothecary. My name is Joanna. If you’ve landed here, it’s not by accident. Whether you’re looking for hair care, wellness, or something you can’t quite name yet — you came to the right place. Maybe you’re calling in something — clarity, healing, abundance, love, protection, a new chapter — who knows? What we do know is that your spirit guided you here. And I am very happy you came.
Here’s a little information about me: I’ve been working with botanicals for well over fifteen years. I source wild herbs from the tropics because that’s where the strongest plants grow. The tropics are not short of miracles. They’re short of people willing to go deep enough to find them. I went deep, looking for the oldest plant knowledge I could find — and built something around what I discovered. Every root, leaf, and oil I work with carries more than a scent or a remedy — it carries an intention, a way of speaking to the parts of us that logic can’t always reach. Nothing here was invented. Everything was remembered — sourced from traditions so old.
Nature is so exciting, and for me, this is more than a business; it’s an adventure that I hope you can join me on.
