When it comes to eco-conscious beauty, Manly is not lagging behind because you can find stores such as the Apothecary Botanica in Esplanade offering all-natural products and everything New Age.
This brick and mortar store is dedicated to zero-waste shopping and offers a wide variety of raw ingredients for skin care and wellness, from beeswax and shea butter to clays and herbs.
Apothecary Botanica is your ultimate new age store, because you can find books relating to mental spirituality, aromatherapy, natural beauty, and even about witchcraft.
They also have crystals, oracle cards and intentional jewellery. More than the shopping experience, visitors can spend a bit of time, have a tea, pull a card, soak up some good vibes.
Owner Erica Schofield created Apothecary to come up with a space where people can purchase all sorts of raw ingredients for diy skincare, natural living and soulful wellness.
Shopping here is like a mini retreat because the shop has a radiant and relaxed vibe, not to mention the fresh sea air near the Manly Harbour.
Apothecary Botanica is located at Shop 1/455 Esplanade, Manly and opens Tuesday to Friday. They also offer deliveries for those who prefer online shopping. For more details about the store, visit their website or follow them on Facebook.
