About Stono Creek Apothecary

Stono Creek Apothecary produces holistic wellness products infused with Hemp Oil Extract

To ensure the cleanliness, potency, and consistency of each product, we: source our extracts from sustainable hemp cultivars in the United States; run each batch of extract through 3rd party laboratories who conduct microbial challenge tests, potency validation tests, and GMP-compliant stability tests. All tests are available on our website under each product’s details.

Stono Creek  products are made near the banks of the Stono River in a state-of-the-art FDA registered manufacturing facility on Johns Island, SC.

What our customers are saying:

This cream is amazing! I am a marathon runner and had a few problems post-marathon with my hamstrings that just wouldn’t go away. I also have ongoing lower-back issues. I used the creme for both and felt the difference immediately. I was skeptical, like maybe it was more of a short-term solution, but 2 weeks later and both areas still feel great. – Lisa L.

Works wonders for my sore neck and shoulder after lifting – the relief was almost instantaneous after rubbing in. Smells really good too! -Happy

I decided to try Stono Creek CBD to aid in my sleeplessness and it has honestly helped me. I’m more relaxed and getting good consistent sleep but I also gained an added bonus. It actually relieves my hot flashes! It hasn’t gotten rid of them completely but they are milder and less frequent. At first I didn’t realize it was the CBD that was taming the hot flashes and thought maybe they were starting to go away on their own, but when I ran out of the oil and didn’t take it for a few days they started coming back with a vengeance. It was when I started taking the CBD again and the flashes subsided that I realized how much Stono Creek CBD does help my quality of life! I’m a believer and won’t be running out again! -Gigi

We’ve been giving this to our dog, 9 years old with 2 ACL injuries last year, for about a month. She hasn’t previously been able to go on long walks anymore, run around and play, or jump much without limping the next day. Since we started giving her this CBD oil, she has had new life breathed into her. She is running around with her playmates, walking more, jumping on the bed, and not limping at all! We can visibly see she is happier and we couldn’t be happier with the results so far. Thanks so much guys! – Austin

About the Founder

Dee Heffernan is the Vice President of Sales and Marketing at leading contract manufacturer of natural skin and body care products, Royal Labs – a family owned & operated company founded by her parents in 1983.  At age 11, Dee’s family relocated their home and business to Charleston, SC., where Dee spent countless hours enjoying the calming waterways of the Lowcountry. As the years passed, Dee grew up around every aspect of the business – whether it be attending health & wellness trade shows, working assembly lines, watching the formulation and manufacturing process behind the scenes, and eventually leading the growth of Royal Labs’ in-house brands – and it was only a matter of time before a stroke of inspiration came to her.

In 2018, Dee followed her passion for the promising healing benefits of CBD and founded Stono Creek – a brand of hemp-derived CBD wellness products designed and formulated with the same expertise and level of integrity that has always been part of the family business mantra. A collegiate athlete and current crossfitter, Dee saw immediate benefit from taking CBD topically and internally and HAD to share it with others.

Before joining Royal Labs and founding Stono Creek, Dee worked as a brand strategist and fractional CMO for startup and corporate businesses seeking to build more powerful, relevant, and prosperous brands.

Coffee Fiend!

Stono Creek doesn’t just provide CBD for the store shelves! In early 2019, we started providing cafe’s with our “Coffee Blend” CBD in MCT oil, an immediate success.  It pays to love coffee!
