This apothecary-like shop is filled with pretty packages, but it’s what’s inside them that sets Follain apart. Calling her boutique a “venue for activism,” owner Tara Foley takes a stand against harmful chemicals, stocking U.S.-made, environmentally friendly brands, including cult faves like May Lindstrom Skin, Soapwalla and Osea, many unavailable elsewhere in Boston. Clean up your act with a makeup appointment—a review of your current products and an intro to safer alternatives—and RSVP for gatherings such as Meet the Makers spotlights and hands-on DIY events.
