MEET THE OWNER:  Hi, I’m Morgan. I’m the chemist & creative behind Viren Apothecary. 

Viren Apothecary started with a gallon of vinegar, a filthy kitchen & a pounding headache. Like many of you, I knew it was time to ditch the commercial cleaning products for healthier, eco-friendly alternatives.

Pinterest’s promise that I could replace my whole cleaning arsenal with castile soap, vinegar & a couple of expensive bottles of "magic" plant-based oils seemed too good to be true. Spoiler alert: it was. My counters were full of dried gunk, my glass & mirrors were full of streaks, & my entire house smelled sour.

I wanted to crawl back to my bottles of neon blue liquids & artificial pine. Instead, I took an aspirin and got to work.

Every other "green" cleaner on the market seems to contain vinegar (smelly & ineffective), palm-derived surfactants (contributing to deforestation of tropical rainforests, further threatening extremely endangered species) or has sketchy ingredient transparency. 

Our product formulas were born from a personal refusal to compromise between eco-friendly ingredients, fine fragrances & sparkling surfaces. Anything we make is guaranteed to be free from the following junk: phthalates, parabens, gluten, palm oil/derivatives, animal products, formaldehyde, toluene, bleach, phosphates, & ammonia (just to name a few).
