In the summer of 2003 while  I was on summer vacation from teaching high school history, Karen's Body Beautiful was born.   I spent the summer researching and experimenting with the many oils, butters essential oils and herbs we use, and I discovered my passion.  

In the fall of 2003 when I returned to teaching, I offered my creations to our friends, family, and co-workers and the response was overwhelming!  Six months later in February, 2004 I opened my Clinton Hill, Brooklyn body & bath boutique to share my creations with the world.  

My mission is to promote a healthy, holistic approach to beauty by creating handmade hair, body and bath products made from a diverse selection of the highest quality natural ingredients from around the world.  I firmly believe that health, beauty and wellness are entwined and so nature supplies us with all of the ingredients we need to create products to enhance your natural beauty.  

We hope you enjoy the products we make for you.  

Peace,
Karen Tappin Saunderson
