Brooklyn Moms Bringing Herbal Skincare Shop To Windsor Terrace
The Brooklyn Herborium will still keep its Columbia Waterfront location open after it expands.
WINDSOR TERRACE, BROOKLYN — Brooklyn Herborium, an organic and herbal skincare shop started by two Brooklyn moms, is opening up a location in Windsor Terrace on Saturday, the company said on its Facebook page.
"We will be making our holistic skincare goods right there in our custom-built workshop on site," reads an announcement from founders Molly Watman and Emma Graves. "Our shop will offer all of the things that we make as well as a carefully curated selection of pantry and grocery offerings."
The new location will be at Prospect and Greenwood avenues, across the street from the Fort Hamilton Parkway subway station, the announcement said. Their flagship shop, in the Columbia Waterfront neighborhood, will remain open, the announcement said.

"We are bringing in organic/sustainable/humane edibles to this location to share with our Herborium family," Watman and Graves said. "In addition, we will carry a variety of beautiful design and home goods. And of course, we have a lovely new treatment room for your chemical-free facials."
(Patch left a message at the Columbia Waterfront store Tuesday and sent them a Facebook message looking for more information. We'll let you know when we hear back.)
The Windsor Terrace store will open on Saturday, March 18, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., according to its website.
When they opened the Columbia Waterfront location in 2013, the moms stressed their desire to use safe products on their kids.
"I was looking for things to use for my child," Watman told DNA Info at the time. "Living a chemical-free life became very important to me."
“They are about using sources from nature that are going to benefit you and support the skin healing itself rather than a product trying to convince your skin to do something,” Graves told The New York Times about their products.
