Core Values

Transparency

We ensure that the products we carry are manufactured, created and sold openly and honestly. We support businesses that operate in transparent ways and promote education amongst retailers and their customers. We are dedicated to ensuring that the products we carry are manufactured, produced, shipped and sold in ways we can trust.

Accountability

We are committed to promoting open and clear communication between our vendors and customers. We are proud to act as ambassadors for our customers, and to find answers to the questions that are important to them. We are focused on promoting brands that take responsibility for their actions, encourage communication and uplift others.

Sustainability

Our store is focused on carrying products that fit into a reduced waste lifestyle. We seek out products that are designed to last a lifetime, and are environmentally sustainable in packaging, ingredients, decomposition and production. Our vendors uplift and promote a greener, more environmentally conscious world. We seek to offer refillable options and reduce waste wherever we conduct business.

Community

At The Apothecary, we are focused on ensuring that our community feels safe, included and valued. We are actively working to seek out vendors that promote inclusivity, diversity and openness in their business practices, products and marketing. We aim to promote brands who amplify marginalized folks, give back to their communities and participate in cultural competence training. We strive to ensure that no customer ever feels unsafe, unwelcome or discriminated against in our storefront. We are committed to taking actions that eliminate racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, size shaming, ableism, discrimination by class or education, religious discrimination, and all other forms of discrimination.

Service

We are committed to providing professional, efficient and friendly service to our clients and students. It is our mission to treat each and every one of our customers with individual and confidential care.

"A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so." - Mahatma Gandhi -

Knowledge

Studying with us is a wonderful experience. We have a relaxed and engaging teaching style in our century building in the heart of Inglewood. We fully support our students during and after training and provide ongoing courses in house.
