Safety & care

At Lost Fork Apothecary & Goods, every balm, butter, and botanical remedy is made in small batches, using pure and natural ingredients you can feel good about. We want you to enjoy them with confidence — and a little extra peace of mind.

Our Universal Product Disclaimer

All products from Lost Fork Apothecary & Goods are handcrafted in small batches using natural ingredients. We do not claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Our offerings are intended for external use only. Always patch test before first use, and discontinue if irritation occurs. Consult your healthcare provider before use on children, during pregnancy, or if you have specific skin concerns. Store in a cool, dry place and use within 6–12 months for best freshness.

For Baby Products

Made with gentle, food-safe ingredients, but always supervise babies during use. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth. For external use only. Discontinue if irritation occurs. When in doubt, consult your pediatrician before introducing new products to your baby’s skin.

Patch Testing

Natural ingredients are powerful, and every skin is unique. To patch test:

1. Apply a small amount of product to the inside of your wrist or elbow.

2. Wait 24 hours.

3. If no redness or irritation occurs, enjoy as directed.

Storage Tips

• Keep products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Because we don’t use synthetic preservatives, use within 6–12 months for best freshness.

• In warm weather, balms and butters may soften — simply pop them in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up.

 

Allergy Disclaimer 

Our skincare is crafted in the same homestead kitchen where we also bake bread and work with other whole ingredients. We take great care to sanitize equipment and keep batches pure, but if you have severe wheat or gluten sensitivities, please note that our workspace is shared.

A Gentle Reminder

Our products are made for everyday skin nourishment and care. They are not a substitute for medical advice, and results may vary based on individual skin needs.
