Maker's Note & The Commitment of Saint Apothecary
Most people have no idea that what we get in the USA is inferior quality — and most herbalists might not even think that much about it. The real winner, and what makes Evil Bone Water magnitudes better, is the herb quality. Making it with B or C quality herbs (what's commonly available and sold by US suppliers) versus crafting it with imperial grade herbs (2–5 grades above normal) produces a fundamentally different product.
"Everything that goes into that bottle comes from the finest ingredients on the planet. When we craft our product, I always ask myself — what do I want on my skin? In my patient's body? My own family?"
