They have created clean, safe, and effective products with medical oversight and are committed to complete transparency. They look to disrupt and change, for the better, an industry that has abandoned responsibility for their consumers' wellbeing and health. She is driven by a desire to truly make a difference both professionally and personally. Element Apothec roots can be traced back to Davina's Great Aunt who was diagnosed with many medical conditions. A lot of the medications for her medical conditions were the ones that actually caused her harm. She decided to take her health into her own hand and dove into plant-based remedies and essential oils and even cannabis. Slowly, her symptoms started going away and she started to feel better. In time, she shared her recipes and formulations with friends and family, in hopes of bringing healing and relief to them. Expanding to more than 40 products, including lotions, body butters, roll-ons, tinctures and supplements.
