The story behind Wandering the West Apothecary
Let us take you on a journey to the wide open spaces of The West. Where those hard to get to places evoke a sense of peace and freedom. Out here there are no cell phones, agendas or cubicles to tether you down. Just big skies and gentle winds blowing the sweet scent of pinyon, juniper and sage through the air. We created products that give you the feeling of being out here even when you are in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Sit back, close your eyes and enjoy the journey from wherever you are.
Wandering the West Apothecary was born in the rugged mountains of Northern Arizona, where founder DeeAnn Tracy has spent her life exploring and learning from the resilient plants that thrive in this extraordinary landscape.
Before creating the apothecary, DeeAnn studied herbal medicine at the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine and worked as a river guide on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. These experiences deepened her connection to the land and its botanicals, inspiring her to craft formulas that carry the true spirit of the West.
Each balm, mist, and oil is infused with the scent, energy, and vitality of the desert and mountains—designed to nourish and protect the skin while capturing the magic of wild places. Our hope is that these creations become part of your own journey, guiding you to moments of beauty, balance, and discovery wherever you wander.
We use natural skincare ingredients
Crafted with clean, plant-powered ingredients, every formula reflects our commitment to conscious skincare and the wild landscapes that inspire us.
We’re committed to sustainability in every step—from using non-toxic, plant-based ingredients to responsibly sourcing botanicals and choosing recyclable packaging that helps reduce waste and protect the planet
Transparency is part of our nature. From the way we source each botanical to the way we craft every formula, we share our process openly—so you know your skincare is as pure and honest as the plants it’s made from.
