Carol’s Daughter Almond Cookie Hand Cream Review
Why we love it: You may not apply apply hand cream religiously, but we’re willing to bet that once the skin on your hands feels like sandpaper you’ll be wishing you had a tube of it in tow. With dry winter weather on the horizon, why take chances? Store this moisturizing hand cream in your purse for easy use while on-the-go. It’s formulated with rich ingredients—think: sunflower seed, coconut, and soybean oils—to help nourish and comfort skin so it feels as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Plus, no silicones, parabens, petroleum, mineral oil, or artificial colors. In addition to the rich texture of the cream, we just can’t get enough of the warm, musky scent. No wonder it’s the brands most popular scent since 1994.
Recommended for: All skin types.
To Use: Apply a small amount of hand cream and massage into hands until fully absorbed. Re-apply as needed throughout the day.

Carol’s Daughter Almond Cookie Cleansing Gel Review
Why We Love It: This extra gentle, sulfate-free body wash formula boasts rich, antioxidant-infused ingredients including sunflower seed-, coconut-, castor-, and soybean oils, and aloe leaf. What it doesn’t contain is silicones, parabens, petroleum, mineral oil, and artificial colors. Another reason why we love this cleansing gel? It works double-duty as a body wash and as a bubble bath. After a long day, a relaxing bath with the sweet and delightful scent of this cleansing gel doesn’t sound too bad at all.
Recommended for: All skin types.
To Use: In the shower, squeeze a small amount of cleansing gel onto a wet washcloth or sponge and work into a lather. Then, gently massage the formula onto skin and rinse with lukewarm water.

Carol’s Daughter Almond Cookie Body Butter Review
Why We Love It: Speaking of body butter, this vitamin-rich blend is one of the brand’s most popular buys. The formula—infused with sweet almond-, coconut-, sunflower seed, soybean, and achiote seed oils—moisturizes skin leaving it feeling hydrated. Shea butter, cocoa butter, and beeswax also make a cameo too. Don’t search for silicones, parabens, petroleum, mineral oil, or artificial colors in the formula though—you won’t find them. What you will find? Smooth, silky-soft, and healthyr-looking skin. Win-win-win. I applied the body butter after my shower and it immediately soaked into my skin to provide deep hydration. No sticky residue or greasy feeling left behind!
Recommended for: Dry to very dry skin types.
To Use: After a bath or shower, massage this body butter onto damp skin. Feel free to put a little extra body balm on rougher areas of skin, like your knees or elbows.

It was as if I wasn’t wearing anything at all.
Recommended for: All skin types.
To Use: Spray the elixir all over your body and massage into skin for an extra layer of moisture and fragrance. Apply again any time throughout the day to keep a healthy glow or to refresh the fragrance.
