I was actually a Trainer for Carol’s Daughter (Lisa Price trained me) and I know that the product line has changed. The line was specifically designed to be an all natural and healthy alternative to the hair and skin care products that are marketed to people of color.
For Carol’s Daughter, their greatest gift is their greatest curse. The fact that the line had grown by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time is amazing but the company had not been able to keep up with the demand for product. CD then decided to employ executives from Loreal and they (in an effort to increase profit and manage business better) decided to change product formulations to incorporate mass consumer appeal (thickening product) and maintain longer shelf life (adding preservatives). Anyone who has been a longtime loyal Carol’s Daughter user should have noticed a difference in the products over the last year or so. They also have scaled back on the use of some of the richer and healther ingredients, all in the name of business. “

Once I discovered Uncle Funky’s Daughter and Qhemet Biologics products, I forgot Carol’s daughter stuff existed! There’s truly much better and less expensive products out there. I found Carol’s Daughter products to be over-priced, too strong smelling, and when the products get old…OMG! That same strong smell turns to something rank and just an oder that no one wants on their hair. Plus, her products didn’t do too much for my hair in terms of growth or thickness. They were greasy to me. I found better…

I do not believe the hype,i went to Tahiti a few weeks ago and talking to a gentleman who had lived in Tahiti for many years,told me all the major cosmetic companies are ripping off our products from the islands.
“Our Monoi de Tahiti” which is protected by an appelation d’origin is found in many products these days and for over the top prices.”Why do people beieve or this hype,when they can buy a simple bottle of Monoi de tahiti” from us here,with no rubbish inside and totally natural.
Well he explained to me the Tahitians use this oil for everything and had done for centuries,for the HAIR,SKIN,MASSAGE,ECE ECT……so when i got back home after a wonderful vacation i found the site he recommended,http://wwwddbeautyproducts.com ,he said they were the only ones who really know everything about selling true “Monoi de tahiti” hair & skin products from the islands,and they also have many other natural products from around the world.

Ive read so many reviews and things and as a chemist it’s I want to make it known that NO organic or natural product on the market is free from synthetic chemicals or preservative from the oils t shampoos to conditions to the food we eat even down to the fresh fruits at h market. So I is safe to say even if you mix your own oils and make shampoos conditioners and treatments at home with eggs and mayo and virgin oils, your products will still contain some form and percentage of synthetic chemicals and jpreservatives out of your control because they are already present in your reactants. Check every line from cd to soft and beautiful botanicals, to curls, to motions, to as I am, to design, to influence , etc.

I send a message on CD website asking what was the best products to use and they responded ASAP with a recommendation. I’m excited to be trying CD products. I don’t care about the price… If the products are good quality then it’s worth it for me. I am a true believer you get what you pay for.

OH NO…are you saying that Almond Cookie EDP has been discontinued? I could only find the roller ball on her site and feared this was the case :0(

Co-signing on Karen’s Body Beautiful. Coco-mango is a soft subtle scent and you can get all of your products scented the same or unscented. Also, the hair mild from Karen’s Body Beautiful is light but effective on my curls!

I totally agree about the conflict of the brand being branded as all natural when it has chemicals in it that are dangerous especially to women of color. I have been using their facial cleanser but none of the hair products. Sorry Carol’s Daughter, I expect natural to mean JUST that!

I heard of Carols Daughter back when the owner Lisa Price had the small shop in Brooklyn. I did not however use her products until recently. When purchasing a product based on reviews that you have read..you take a chance. What appeals to another person may not appeal to you..and even more it might not go well with your unique chemistry! In my opinion that is the case with any prone to the store to smell and test it for yourself. I know that Almond Cookie is one of the most popular Carols Daughter scents.and read rave reviews about it for years prior to purchasing it for myself. I can honestly say that I love the smell of it, but it is not concentrated enough for me.I layer the scent by with the cleansing gel, Shea souffle cream.. and dry oil mist and the smell although nice does not last long on my skin. Some people have said that the Jamaican punch is too strong on the spice content..but I love it for that very reason and it smells good on me.I sometimes use it with the Almond Cookie.On the downside it , along with other signature Carols Daughter scents have been discontinued, so you may have to look for them online (Ebay..Amazon… I love the Reminisce 4 oil tin.. It comes with 1) Goddess Flower, 2)Amandeep-(1 of my personal favorites)3)Roses&Honey, and 4)Amaretto Truffle(yummy)… Other favorite scents are the Orange Ambrosia and Goddess Flower products!
I have yet to try her hair products. Well… excuse me I tried a sample of the Hair Milk (which I got free when I purchased an Almond Cookie set)It smelled great! I will try some of her hair products! I say try the products with an open mind.If something doesn’t work for you return it to store(see store policy first), give it to a friend.. family member that might enjoy it ( that way it isn’t a total waste of money), or put it up for sale on online. (the product that you hate might be one that another person loves .. and they may buy it from you).

Nice post. I study one thing more difficult on different blogs everyday. It is going to all the time be stimulating to read content material from different writers and apply just a little something from their store. I’d favor to use some with the content material on my weblog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a hyperlink in your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.Useful info ipad
