Inspiring Conversations with Eudy Paredes of Indeu Apothecary

Today we’d like to introduce you to Eudy Paredes.

Hi Eudy, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Indeu Apothecary started right after I got furloughed from my job when all the Covid-19 situation began back in 2020. For years, I always had the idea of creating my natural soap but due to the everyday routine between working full time and college never got a chance to do it.

As a result of being quarantined, I decided to start formulating my soaps, once they were cured I gave them to my family and friends for testing purposes. Once I knew my products were fully tested on different types of skin I decided to launch my online store.

Indeu Apothecary began with soaps, and then I decided to provide more options to my customers such as Natural Deodorant, Shampoo Bars, Lip Balms, and more.

Once quarantine was gone, I got invited to a Farmers Market in Downtown Orlando, which was a big surprise for me because I didn’t expect to take my business outside an online platform. After that, I joined multiple markets all around the city of Orlando and I was so grateful for all the support I received from my local customers.

A year later, I decided to open up my store in which I’m able to provide a bigger variety of products. At the store Indeu Collective, I carry items from other local businesses so that way they have a space to display their products aside from the markets. The purpose of my store is to create a collective in which all local bossiness bloom.

Covid has impacted a lot of people worldwide in a negative way, but it has also influenced and pushed people to work towards their dreams.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No, it hasn’t. Between now having to pay me as an employee, inventory, and legal system for my small business. Things have been challenging at times. But the passion that I feel for my brand and mission helps me overcome every obstacle.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Indeu Apothecary?
My business aims to provide skincare products that are conscious of the earth and your skin. Without the use of chemicals or animal testing. I use the best selection of sustainable sourced & fair trade ingredients that our mother earth, Gaia, has to offer.

Promoting a natural & sustainable lifestyle, by providing zero waste products and a refill program.

Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I believe that in the near future it will be more accessible for everyone to get used to all-natural and zero waste products because people are currently getting more earth-conscious.

Pricing:

  • I provided accessible prices for everyone to start swapping to a natural and sustainable lifestyle starting from $5.00 – 26.00
