About Us

Our journey didn’t begin in a boardroom, but in a quiet moment of necessity. Seeking a way to ground myself, I turned to the tactile, intentional art of soapmaking. The first time I unmolded a loaf of handcrafted soap and realized, "I did that," the path forward became clear. What began as a personal pursuit of peace evolved into an apothecary dedicated to the science of skin-loving ingredients and the art of botanical infusions.

​Named in honor of my great-grandmother, Minnie, Minerva Rae is built on the belief that self-care is a necessity, not a luxury. We specialize in small-batch, cold-process products designed to turn your daily routine into a grounding ritual.

​Our Commitment to Honesty

We believe that true luxury lies in transparency. You won’t find misleading "all-natural" labels here; instead, we offer a curated blend of traditional, time-honored ingredients—like rich tallow, shea butter, essential oils and other botanicals—balanced with high-quality, responsibly sourced fragrances and micas. We are proud to be transparent about what goes into our products because we believe you deserve to know exactly what you are putting on your skin.

​The Farmhouse-Apothecary Difference

Whether it’s our signature citrus-forward scents, our Clear Gold™ Restorative Herbal Salves, or a piece from THE HERITAGE COLLECTION, every item is handled with the care and attention that a legacy name deserves.

​From our kitchen to your home, Minerva Rae is built on the belief that what you use matters. We invite you to experience the difference that comes from intentional ingredients, a love for tradition, and a deep commitment to keeping things honest. We are so glad you’re here.
