Founded in 1838 in New York's Greenwich Village, C.O. Bigelow is the oldest apothecary in America. Originally established by Dr. Galen Hunter as The Village Apothecary Shop, it has evolved into a New York institution, cherished for its historic charm and personalized service. The brand’s own product line is inspired by its vast archives of hand-written formularies, with some recipes, like the Lemon Body Cream, dating back to 1870. These signature items, including salves, lotions, and grooming products, are offered alongside a curated collection of niche and international beauty brands.
