C.O. Bigelow is a New York-based pharmaceutical institution. And when I said institution, I mean it in the sense that it has essentially become a New York landmark. Having existed in Greenwich Village since 1838, the apothecary-pharmacy is one of beauty’s biggest success stories. Stocking various brands across skincare, fragrance and body care, the store also produces its own line of products, and they’re available to buy here in the UK. While the brand’s products are by no means budget, they are slightly more affordable than my go-to Aesop buys. While an Aesop hand wash might set me back circa £30, my favourite C.O. Bigelow hand wash costs £16. However, despite the pricing differences, C.O. Bigelow products really do possess every bit as much of luxury and joy as Aesop products do.
For starters, they look great on the shelf. Seriously, walking into my bathroom and seeing my C.O. Bigelow products lined up fills me unparalleled joy. Then we come onto the scents. Rich, expensive-smelling and long-lasting, the aromas make every C.O. Bigelow experience feel spa-like and luxe. The best thing about C.O. Bigelow, however, is that the products really work. The creams are nourishing and unctuous, the candles fill a room in minutes, and the skincare is full of hard-working ingredients. So, if you’re looking to inject your beauty routine with a hint of luxury that won’t totally bankrupt you, keep scrolling for the 10 best C.O. Bigelow products.
