Hi!  I’m Karen Roche and I founded Be Green Bath + Body, LLC after I learned that neither the law nor FDA regulations require specific tests to demonstrate the safety of individual products or ingredients.  As a breast cancer survivor and BRCA2 gene mutation carrier it was imperative that I use products that would not cause harm. I began to nourish my skin safely with simple, non-toxic, plant-based ingredients found in nature.  As someone who embraces all things natural, wellness and sustainability, I found it hard to find products designed for my sensitive skin that would not break the bank while we raised three daughters.  Before the green beauty movement became mainstream, I created Be Green to share my botanical formulations with those looking for skincare products made with amazing plants, flowers and herbs that would be soothing and restorative.  It hasn’t always been easy!  As a black belt in Krav Maga, I have learned and lived the importance of practice, patience and persistence.  Be Green is my life’s journey.  I hope you will join me.
