This didn’t start as a business.
It started with a OUR STORY
For years, I worked in the contracting world—painting, coatings, chemicals, dust, solvents… day in and day out. It’s just part of the job. You don’t think twice about it—until your body starts pushing back.
Over time, my hands started reacting. What began as irritation turned into something worse. Dryness, cracking, inflammation… it got to the point where it wasn’t just uncomfortable—it was affecting how I lived and worked.
It was like having paper cuts all over my hands.

It was on every finger.

It got so bad that this thumb and thumb area
had 60 open sores.
People would pull away if I tried to shake their hand.
There came a point where I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I went looking for real answers, because what I was dealing with wasn’t sustainable.
Like most people, I tried what was out there. And like a lot of people find out the hard way—most of it didn’t help. Some of it made things worse.
That’s where things started to shift.
I began digging into ingredients. Not just what products claimed to do—but what was actually in them, how they worked, and how they interacted with the skin. I started testing. Learning. Adjusting. Paying attention to what my skin could tolerate—and what it couldn’t.
Healing didn’t come from one thing alone. It took time, changes, prayer, and medical help. But learning what my skin could handle—and creating my own formulations—played a real role in that process.
What started as a personal need turned into something bigger.
I wasn’t trying to build a brand. I was trying to build something that worked—something simple, intentional, and effective. No unnecessary fillers. No harsh additives. Just ingredients chosen with purpose.
That’s where Felon Apothecary came from.
Products built for real life. For working hands. For skin that’s been through it.
If you’ve ever dealt with skin that just won’t cooperate…
If you’ve tried product after product with no real results…
If you’re just looking for something better—
This is why I started.
And this is who I built it for.
