CO Bigelow Chemists

West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District


The ‘oldest apothecary in America’ is a favorite among New Yorkers and a convenient spot to grab upscale lotions and face masks, organic soaps and bath bombs, and basic toiletries. It's a fun place to test high-end products before you grab a tube of toothpaste.

In addition to its own CO Bigelow label products, including lip balms, hand and foot salves, shaving creams and rosewater, you can browse through lotions, shampoos, cosmetics and fragrances from makers including Weleda, Yu-Be, Vichy and many more.
