Caswell - Massey

Before there was the United States of America, there was Caswell-Massey, the original purveyor of the finest personal care products and accessories and America’s oldest operating retailer. The company was founded in Newport, Rhode Island by Scottish-born Dr. William Hunter in 1752. His location in the bustling trade center enabled the doctor to procure the finest ingredients the world had to offer and he used his medical expertise to formulate personal care and medicinal preparations for a discerning, devoted clientele. Since the beginning, Caswell-Massey has attracted America’s elite with its high quality, naturally derived soaps, gels, lotions, creams, fragrances, and accessories. More than 258 years after Dr. Hunter opened his doors, Caswell-Massey continues to honor his commitment to quality, service, and innovation.
