Pure Placid is a great find right on Main Street in Lake Placid. Founded by a woman who grew up amongst the trees, mountains, and lakes, it offers the gift of the Adirondacks to the world. The shop features an exceptional and sought-after collection of handmade soy candles and body care, including hand soaps, body lotions, body washes, and body scrubs. All products are made with pure, clean ingredients, and every scent is natural, designed to be a vacation for your mind and remind you of the Adirondacks. The staff is friendly and very helpful, providing an enjoyable and delightful experience. A real treat not to be missed is the candle-making event, which is highly recommended and immensely fun. Pure Placid also provides shipping for store purchases and ships products globally through its website.
Got some of their cashmere sweater lotion and it smells absolutely amazing. I put it on and just breathe it in. The scent also lasts which I love. Very bright and clean store. Definitely recommend.
