Pickle's Potions Winthrop is open 7 days a week. I’m Kristin, the founder and formulator of Pickle’s Potions, a natural skincare company.

High-performing botanical skincare for sensitive and changing skin, formulated by a real expert and priced for real life.

*please note: Waterville store is CLOSED MONDAYS. Although I’ve been long-obsessed with skincare, including living in South Korea for 8 years, my journey into the natural began in 2010, driven by a simple desire: to find the best natural face and body care products for my family. This quest became even more personal with my youngest’s eczema, sparking the creation of Pickle’s Potions— Pickle being my long-time family nickname. At Pickle’s Potions, we're all about harnessing nature’s gifts. I select potent botanical extracts and herbs, infusing them into our luxurious organic oils. This is the backbone of our extensive skincare line, crafting moisturizers, balms, and creams that blend nature’s finest with cosmetic science for real results. I handcraft all my products in small batches, ensuring that each product I offer is perfect. My dedication to creating effective natural skincare has led to over 60 international awards in the past three years and being named Kennebec County’s Small Business of the Year 2023. More than the accolades, it's the trust from our customers that truly matters. What makes us stand out is how I marry my chemistry background and studies in organic formulation and herbalism into every product. This mix of science and nature not only ensures safety but also delivers effectiveness. My passion for natural skincare drives me to innovate continually, blending the best of nature with proven results. I’m always learning and growing and want to provide the best possible products. Pickle’s Potions is more than a brand; it’s a commitment to genuine, effective skincare that’s accessible to everyone. From a small nickname to a global community, our mission remains: to offer effective, small-batch natural skincare that genuinely works for you. I'm here because I believe in the transformative power of natural skincare, creating products that fulfill their promises. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Here’s to embracing natural beauty and discovering skincare that makes you feel as good as you look.

It’s been a fun summer, with bountiful harvests, great markets and events, workshops galore, and soooooo much product development and production!
Just wanted to share some of the THOUSANDS of videos I take!

This here is our Mango Butter Night Cream, a vegan formulation that has been loved by many since 2015! It’s an OG potion and it’s delightful.

🤩 Ahh! I’m excited to share this! Literally have had this neck and chest product on my mind and in my notebooks for YEARS.
I’ve had friends and coworkers testing this for the past year, I did a proper beta test for unbiased feedback, and finally am able to put this on the shelf.
So, here it is! The Nexk + Chest Firming Gel Serum. My pride and joy.

Now available at Pickle’s Potions in Winthrop + Waterville. 💗

It’s finally on our shelves - and we’re pretty excited about this one! After nearly three years of Pickle formulating, tweaking, testing (and tweaking some more), our new Neck + Chest Firming Gel Serum is officially available at both our Winthrop and Waterville shops!

This is a particularly special one for us. Pickle has called it her favorite formula yet - created for an area of our skin that we so often forget about, even while lavishing attention on our faces.

It’s silky, lightweight and packed with beautiful ingredients chosen to help with crepey texture, fine lines, uneven tone and loss of firmness, while keeping the delicate skin of the neck and chest soft, hydrated and supple.

If you’re nearby, come in, say hello and give it a try. After all that time in the lab, we’re genuinely thrilled to finally see these little pink boxes sitting on our shelves!

And if you’d like the story behind the formula- including why it took so long and what happened during our 6-week beta test - Pickle wrote about it here in her blog:

🎉🍾🥳
✨ AND THIS IS A BIG ONE... AND PREORDERS ARE OPEN!

After MANY months of formulating and a 6-week beta test, the new Neck + Chest Firming Cream is getting ready for its first release.

Created specifically for aging neck and chest skin, this silky gel-cream helps visibly smooth crepey texture, soften the appearance of fine lines, improve tone and support a firmer, more supple look.

And our beta testers noticed.

⭐ “I definitely noticed improvement with overall skin tone and diminishing of fine lines and wrinkles.”
— NC-A-016, Week 6

⭐ “I think the fine lines are smoother now. I'm more confident in my neckline appearance.”
— NC-A-004, Week 6

⭐ “My skin looks and feels less crepey. My skin feels more hydrated and smoother.”
— NC-A-030, Week 6

🫐 So, it seems like the Blueberry Foaming Facial Cleanser is getting some love! Second batch ready for labeling today!
It’s literally to easy to use - all of us at the HQ (plus our kids!) are huge fans and have been using it since 2025.
I’m so glad y’all are enjoying it too!
🫧 My favorite way to use it is after I use the Strawberry Smoothie Cpeansing Balm, as a double cleanse…. Or maybe it’s when I use it in the morning for a quick little cleanse.
How would you use it?
And yes, it smells like fresh Maine blueberries. 🫐
