Healthy Choices for your skin & hair

With a constantly increasing awareness of potentially harmful chemical and synthetic ingredients used in health and beauty products, it is becoming more apparent that a safer, more natural and organic alternative should be made available.

Potentially harmful ingredients such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamide DEA (Diethanolamine), Propylene Glycol and Sodium Chloride (Salt) are chemicals that are used in most of the beauty related products available on the common market.

"Mother Nature has blessed our forests with a multitude of
natural and organic healing alternatives.
Botanical Tree Essence is one of them and my father and I
are extremely proud and grateful to be recognized as
modern pioneers of this helpful therapeutic re-discovery."

They are inexpensive to use and make the products appear richer in quality by providing either foam enhancing, thickening or moisture retaining properties to the product.

These ingredients have undergone extensive testing and most are now recognized as potentially harmful or cancer causing. They become absorbed through the skin and into the blood stream and eventually end up laden in various organs in the body. The body has a difficult time detoxifying these chemicals and the results can be serious if the organ is overcome with toxins.

At the Carina Corporation, we have chosen a healthier alternative. Since Carina's inception in 1972, replacing chemical and synthetic ingredients with natural and organic extracts, essences and oils has always been a part of our main focus and philosophy. This simple formula has helped Carina and its products become recognized and preferred globally.

Organic ingredients such as Palm Kernel Extract, Corn Glucose (sugar) and Coconut provide our shampoo products with mild, yet effective, cleansing properties. The foam produced is rich and creamy. This is due to the essential tree, herb, fruit and flower extracts that are added to compliment our formulations. In our skin creams and conditioners, organic essences and oils from Avocado, Olive, Flax Seed, Pumpkin Seed and Sunflower help the skin to naturally retain and maintain its moisture level and hydration level so it does not dry out prematurely.

At the Carina Corporation, we take great pride in using the highest quality ingredients possible in our formulations. A personal "hands-on" approach is taken when selecting and harvesting the proper tree essences, herbs, plants, fruits, flowers and vegetables.

Throughout the year, therapeutic ingredients such as Alfalfa, Chamomile, Echinacea, Nettle, Red Clover and a variety of Botanical Tree Essences are selected and harvested from different regions of the Pacific Northwest forests and farms. This harvesting process helps to ensure that only healthy and high quality extracts and essences are obtained for you!
