S.W. Basics Cream
What It Does: A deceptively simple “3 ingredient” face cream that’s the cornerstone of a generally stellar skincare line, leaving this on overnight left my face feeling like velvet. Velvet! I was unaware this was even a possibility. There’s no going back from here.
Who Makes It: S.W. (short for Sprout Wellness) started off as a side project for founder Adina Grigore, who played around with different at-home remedies for her own sensitive skin. It’s since grown into one of the borough’s highest-profile skin care lines, using ingredients that are either certified organic, Fair Trade, or sourced from small local farms.
