A Shea Grows in Brooklyn

Posted March 14, 2005
Move over, Kiehl’s—you’ve got some competition in Fort Greene. That’s where Bed-Stuy native Lisa Price creates, tests, and sells her own wellness line, Carol’s Daughter. Made with all natural ingredients, Lisa’s hair and skincare products are 100% Brooklyn born—she creates every first batch in her own kitchen sink. The shop is packed with tempting (and great smelling) stuff, but my favorite is the Skin Smoothie, a rich blend of shea butter and essential oil that doubles as deep conditioner for parched hair. Sweet!

$25 at Carol’s Daughter, 1 S. Elliot Pl., Fort Greene, Brooklyn, 718-596-1862, carolsdaughter.com.
