This small shop caught my eye as we were moseying down Third Street in Geneva last weekend. The…read moreentrance is a somewhat farther back from the sidewalk than the others in town so it might be easy to miss. Any shop using the word "apothecary" tends to pique my interest since they often carry more niche brands, or higher end skincare, and as someone who loves exploring skincare I am quick to stop in; this was no different. I was a little surprised to see as much Dr. Hauschka here as they carry since that's a line you can get at Whole Foods. It was also a surprise that as a shop specializing in makeup and skin care that they didn't appear to carry a sunscreen--and I mean an a product that was solely sunscreen, not a foundation or lip color with SPF 30 or something. Sunscreen is probably the most important thing one can use in their routine, but you wouldn't guess that at a shop focused on skincare? They have a LOT of scents here. It's a small shop and it can quickly become overwhelming, as well as hard to tell the perfumes apart. Both of us customers in store quipped about the lack of coffee beans, and learned that they had them once and when they spilled they stopped using them. I was curious about one but I wasn't able to tell what it truly smelled like since one of the other folks in the shop had sprayed several already. The person working gave me a little tester to take home, though, which I appreciated. I would give this store another whirl if I was in the area. But overall I was a bit disappointed in their skin care options and lack of detail (the missing sun protection). They have a lot of makeup here too but I didn't really look at that much (it was somewhat dark in the shop so I wouldn't have been able to see a true color anyway). The building is not accessible; there are several steps to get into the shop. It's street parking only.

The woman at the shop welcomed us as soon as we came in, and she heard us talking about Lincoln Square and said her daughter (I think) owns it. This shop is larger than the other one, I think--it felt less crowded than the other one. But still the same great merchandise. They carry artwork by Chai Wolfman, who I actually learned about through the other Midwest Nice; anyway, her work is pretty cool. My friend and I each independently grabbed shirts for our kids that said Midwest is Best, so now folks will have even more reason to ask if they're twins. I like that they support local artists. If you're looking for something for a gift or souvenir, you should check the place out.

When we stopped in they were doing an Easter egg hunt where children could find one egg each and it had little treats in it, and my daughter was delighted to find her very first easter egg and get a little ring and piece of chocolate. No, it's not on 63rd Street--that's an homage to when the owner first made soap as a girl whilst living in Chicago. But of course though they have cute little events going on here, they also have some nice products. Lots of hand soaps, handmade, with varying scent profiles. They have other bath and body products like bath bombs, lotions, oils, and so on. They also have some accessories--I bought another headband for facials and they had some sponges and the like. I also heard her telling another customer that they offer classes, though I'm not sure if it's for soap making or one of the other products here, but definitely something to check out for something different to do.
