Archipelago Botanicals

Archipelago's story began in a small studio in Santa Monica, California—a garage looking out onto the cluster of Catalina Islands that inspired our name—where we crafted our first candles and fragrances using a handful of essential oils and natural ingredients. We wanted to capture and recreate the experiences unearthed in our own travels. After almost 25 years, we continue to bring the best of the world back home—and infuse life's daily rhythms with a sense of calm and discovery. We pride ourselves in creating natural products that avoid harsh chemicals, and always bringing forth the signature scents of a destination and feeling. We hope our home and personal care collections offer a sense of calm and discovery with every use. Whenever we revisit a heritage product, we are reminded of those first days in a Santa Monica garage, and recognize that no matter where we are, the art of living well is always within reach.
