My name is Cara Chugg, founder of Friendship Herbals. Born in a small town in the West Virginian Hills, I moved to Australia almost seventeen years ago. As a child, you could find me roaming the woods or making magical potions out of mud and flowers. Amongst the wild rhododendrons, honeysuckle, and ginseng.  Friendship Herbals was born from a place of pure giving spirit. For years I had researched and studied herbs and their healing benefits. This research furthered to the beauty industry and how many harmful additives that were put into cosmetics and deodorants especially. I wanted to create products that not only respected our wonderful animal friends but also incorporated medicinal plants-healing from Mother Nature herself. All ingredients that are in Friendship Herbals products are clearly labeled. If it is not on the ingredients label, it's not in the product. Simple as that. The slogan, Be Raw, Be Natural, Be You is the very core and ethos of our brand. We all wish to live in a world where we are fully accepted, loved, and share the many blessings and talents we possess. Raw represents the authenticity of our nature as well as the ingredients in our products; Natural represents nature in it's entirety, respecting and praising all lives on this planet; You represents you - your higher self included. A friend to you, a friend to earth.
