how I got here
My family always talks about our fair & blemish-prone skin as, "It's just the Irish in us."
I had trouble in my 20's with facial acne, brittle nails, & dry hair that was oily at the scalp. I called it my "combination skin"... but everything I was using to fix each ailment was "medical grade", expensive & full of chemicals! It felt like I was just compounding the problem & adding more toxins to my body.
I started with recipes I used everyday and after 7 years, expanded to a line of products for you, your pets & your home.To me, making products is a meditation. I love getting lost in the smells of the herbs & essential oils; blending to the perfect consistency & nurturing my tribe.
Ola Cré (o-la kree), meaning Earth Oil (from my Irish heritage), was created in 2017 to bring to market safe, toxin-free products for the whole Tribe. Only pure herbs, natural oils & butters are used, making my skin care line one of the safest & most nourishing on the market today.
