Natural Skin Care Ingredients and Descriptions

When I formulate a CARŌL’S product I set some very rigid standards. If I would not use it on myself or my children, I will not use it in my products. Sacred tobacco is offered when I harvest my herbs for prayers of gratitude to thank the Creator of Mother Earth for our many blessings. When any plant is picked, Tobacco and Prayer is given to show respect. By honoring all our relations we demonstrate that we have not forgotten our place within the web of life.

CARŌL’S products are designed to be hypoallergenic and cruelty free.
