Carrie Scharf is a passionate DIY skincare educator
, and creative soul behind Carrie’s Handmade Essentials. Her journey into handmade skincare began with a mother’s love—seeking gentle, nourishing solutions for her son’s painful eczema. Her son, who has Down syndrome and a heart defect, endured a difficult heart surgery and extensive therapy. That season of deep caregiving opened Carrie’s eyes to the essential role of self-care—not as indulgence, but as sustenance.
Out of that experience grew a quiet mission: to help others create skincare that is both healing and meaningful.
In her book, Carrie’s Herbal Infused Skincare Cookbook, she brings together years of hands-on practice with herbs, oils, and natural ingredients. The book offers more than just recipes—it’s an invitation to slow down, connect with the rhythms of the seasons, and care for your skin and soul through gentle ritual.
Carrie’s work is rooted in simplicity, intentionality, and a deep belief that skincare can be a form of devotion. Whether you're nurturing sensitive skin or tending to a weary spirit, her approach offers a path toward handmade wellness with heart.
