St. Ives Mixing Bar

VISIT ST. IVES FIRST-EVER

MIXING BAR IN NYC

The St. Ives® Mixing Bar is open this Summer in NYC. The first-ever experiential store from St. Ives invites guests to customize face scrubs and body lotions, choosing from over 50 combinations of 100% natural extracts, exfoliants, or moisturizers. The St. Ives Mixing Bar, located at 577 Broadway (at the corner of Prince and Broadway), will be open from June 16th, 2017 (originally set to be open through July 30th) - NOW through the end of September, Monday through Saturday from 11am to 9pm and Sunday from 11am to 8pm. Long overdue, and a fan of St. Ives Apricot Scrub since 1989, I finally stopped into the mixing bar on Saturday and picked my blend: Pineapple Mango Scrub with Coconut Shell Powder. My other fave? St. Ives Honey Mango Lotion, only available at the pop-up shop!
