Mists, natural skincare & more
By Patricia Nugent
Plant Love Botanicals is a charming hybrid shopping experience—a stylish boutique apothecary vibe featuring organic, handcrafted skincare products, with a side of artisanal home goods.
Founder Rebecca Weisberger began her journey with product development out of necessity. Six years ago, she was suffering from insomnia and experiencing side effects from the anti-insomnia medication she was taking.
“I started to research the power of essential oils, became certified as an aromatherapist, and put together a formula that became what’s one of my most popular products today, the Sleeping Mist,” she says. “You can spray it on your pillow or sheets. With potent lavender, jasmine and petitgrain, it is effective in promoting sleep.”
Rebecca branched out to create skincare serums, too. When she began giving the products to friends, and everyone told her to sell them—she listened—opening her adorable brick-and-mortar shop last fall.
“The response has been amazing,” she says. “People are looking for cleaner products for their skin that are also effective. Plants work in harmony with our body and support the skin’s natural ability to heal itself. These formulas contain therapeutic-grade, plant-based essential oils. They address anti-aging issues as well as conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea.”
She also creates targeted hydrosol mists. A top seller is the Hot Flash & Hormone Balancing Mist. “My customers report it’s a game-changer for reducing menopausal symptoms, as it naturally cools the body and rebalances hormones,” she adds.
In addition, the shop carries a delightful variety of merch from other women-owned businesses, from handbags to jewelry, candles, and home goods.
