As a model and mother of two, Kara developed Kara Care Skin Food right on her own stovetop after searching fruitlessly for an inexpensive alternative to the mass-market chemical-laden products she found at the drug store and supermarket. As featured in the October 2012 issue of Redbook, the Kara Care philosophy revolves around the scientific truth that you shouldn’t put anything on your skin you can’t eat!
Kara Care Skin Food is an all-organic, gender-neutral, GMO-free, chemical-free topical. It’s 100% edible and melts when it comes in contact with your body heat! Made with raw organic shea butter, cocoa butter, and edible essential oils, Kara Care Skin Food is truly All-in-One –for your hands, face, and whole body! Kara Care Skin Food has historically been used as a skin moisturizer, lip balm, natural sunscreen (has an SPF of 6), hair care, skin healing (chafing, burns, abrasions, stretch marks, scars, blemishes, spots), anti-aging agent (softens skin and deminishes wrinkles).

Here, bees have access to pure water and clean air which creates a mild, creamy honey with a distinctive Montana richness.

Glass jar packaging allows for reuse and ensures sustainability.
