Best friends and former beauty executives Susan Carter + Sara Jane, went on a mission to create an organic skin care line that was more effective than anything else on the market, organic or not. We vowed that we wouldn’t launch a brand until we both were so happy with what we created that we’d throw away everything else. It literally took us a decade, but we believe it was well worth the wait. Carter + Jane is dedicated to making all women and men look and feel their very best without ever sacrificing their health. Our mission is to formulate the most effective organic skincare on the market...so effective that consumers don’t feel like they are giving up product efficacy by moving to a clean product. Instead, they have confidence that they are using the most effective skin care on the market, that just happens to be organic. Carter + Jane’s The Everything Oil™ is a USDA certified organic do-it-all skincare product that can either replace everything in your beauty routine or improve the efficacy of your favorite products in your regimen. The Everything Oil produces both immediate and long-lasting visible results. Made with cold pressed, high purity, sustainably-sourced Prickly Pear Seed Oil and our proprietary A3 Concentrate, this high potency product proves how powerful clean beauty can be.
