I don't see anything about it on their website....heard so much great things about the line but it's not available in this country yet, so I was going stock up when I come out to S. Carolina at the end of Spring.

No idea...but doesn't Sephora carry them? That's where I bought it.

Hello, one thing I did notice about these products, I was going to buy but never did, was the ingredients are unfortunately not all natural. I was surprised at the chemicals in them. I was so excited to finally try out some of the products, in particular the lotion/body butter or whatever. I went looking for the scent I had sampled around Christmas and found they didn't have that scent in stock, and hadn't for a while. The clerk didn't know when/if they were getting more. I tried to find something else I liked but to no avail.

I know this line has big celebrity financial backing and endorsements and I wanted to love it, but upon closer inspection it was a no go for me. AND, to boot, the price was sort of out of the stratosphere for what I thought was typical for a lotion. Don't quote me, but I think the lotion was $28 bucks . That is too much, especially for something that is not all natural ingredients with a predominent shea butter base. I think the dominant ingredient was mineral oil, which is a cheaper, less desireable oil.

I have found another product that I like, well I should say, love.

You're kidding me? So it's all hype, glossy branding and celeb endorsements? . I went to the web site and saw some yummy looking lotions and thought great, a Black owned company I can support, but I'm not paying that sort of money for shea and mineral oil.

The only products I use for face and body is The Body Shop and been a loyal customer for 30 years (oh my gawd it's that long). Love their products their pricing, their business ethics and all the positive things they promote globally and within the community...

Sephora.com do not ship to other countries. I see they have other sites in Europe, but I don't read any of the languages to figure out where they ship to...I assume only to their country, however I believe there is a Sephora at a Mall in West London, but from what I hear they don't stock Carols Daughter and the one site that use to kinda still does, but you can't order it via their shopping basket. Got to send email, then they contact you then it takes 7- 10 days for the order to be shipped. Which means they probably have to order it and then ship to you. Phew! I just get tired thinking about it. Will stick to what I can get easily and check out a Sephora store while I am in the US in May.

I saw it being promoted the other at HSN.com. See if they ship to the UK if Sephora does not. Here's the link
