about us
about The Dark Corner
The Dark Corner - the namesake for our business - is a small geographical area in upstate South Carolina, bordering the Appalachian mountains. It occupies the northeastern part of Greenville County, including the foothills of Glassy and Hogback Mountains.
Occupants of this beautiful but rugged terrain were subsistence farmers who had to be self-sufficient and willing to fight just to survive. Their communities relied on tradition and homeopathic remedies, handed down from generation to generation, to survive and thrive in their isolated environment.
Never one to follow the status quo for acceptance, they're often described as lately being compromised of loyal unionists who accepted Confederate deserters, and who quickly learned the pretty penny that could be made from becoming bootleggers during prohibition.
My name is Amanda, and I'm the proud owner of Dark Corner Apothecary™. I was born and raised in The Dark Corner, and I have both maternal and paternal ancestors who partook in the 'illicit distillery' business in the early-to-mid 20th century, so to speak.
Instead of taking up the hobby of moonshining, I've decided to limit my alcohol usage to the art of perfume-making. Since 2020, I've worked hard to make products from all-natural ingredients, by hand, in small batches...much like our grandmothers and great-grandmothers used to do.
'Granny wisdom' was passed down from one generation to the next, preserving knowledge about planting and harvesting, the medical usage of herbs and plants, and tried-and-true fixes for everyday household emergencies. And with every product we've carefully crafted - made to order, and not kept in advance in storage - we strive to keep the older, all-natural traditions alive.
We strive to use only the best natural ingredients in everything we create, so that you experience the luxury of the greatest resources mother nature has to offer in self-care - but at affordable prices.
