Carnegie Hill Chemists

One of my favorite things about living in New York is the range of unique products and stores that are available across the city. If I am looking for an exclusive Indonesian bath and shower gel or an organic deodorant that will not irritate my skin, then I will be sure to find it somewhere in the city.

Little did I know that just down the street from my apartment and behind the construction on Second Avenue is a one-stop shop for all my pharmaceutical and organic bath and shower needs! Carnegie Hill Chemists, located at 1842 Second Avenue between 95th and 96th Street, is a new European-style, neighborhood pharmacy that caters to the individual needs of each client with quality service and an excellent selection of products from across the globe.



Having recently opened in February of this year, Carnegie Hill Chemists brings something new to the neighborhood including an entire line of holistic, organic, and free trade products that do not have harmful chemicals or substances. There is something for everyone including babies and mommies-to-be. Carnegie Hill Chemists carries an excellent brand called Erbaviva, which carries a product specifically for stretch marks, back oils rubs, and organic deodorant. Weleda, a brand that gently cares for and protects the delicate skin of babies, offers diaper and baby creams.



Those looking to have a relaxing at-home-spa session can also indulge in Carnegie Hill Chemist’s amazing face products with delicious flavors like honey papaya, pomegranate and mint, or a nut meal exfoliate. To really reduce the stress, Carnegie Hill Chemist’s offers the Anthousa home fragrance collection, which draws inspiration from the richness of the Mediterranean and the beautiful Tuscan countryside.



In addition to the wide range of products, Carnegie Hill Chemists’ make-up and facial consultant, Tammy, offers free makeovers using the chic Becca make-up line. Tammy is available Wednesday through Saturday for makeovers and there is no purchase necessary! There are also free facials and other events, so come into the store today and sign up to be on the Carnegie Hill Chemist event mailing list.



Before I left, Tammy gave me some amazing products from the Juara line. I tried the Juara rice facial cleanser, which is a traditional Indonesia rice water rinse that left my skin feeling soft and supple. It is for all skin types including sensitive skin like mine! I also sampled the Juara tiare jasmine tea bath and shower gel that smelled heavenly. The shower gel is a combination of sulfate-free cleansing agents and antioxidant-rich triple-tea extracts of green, white, and black teas that gently cleansed my delicate skin.



I have never seen products like this before and I can assure you that I will be returning to Carnegie Hill Chemists for more! Their organic and holistic line also makes for wonderful gifts for family and friends. Stop by the store anytime Monday-Friday 8:00am-8:00pm and Saturday 9:00am-6:00pm.
