About Us
Our story…
We started Natural Grandmas because of our belief in natural products and our love of plants and flowers. The recipes we use for all of our products are proven by time. Several of them have been handed down through our families.
For example, our Body Creme was made by Carol’s mother who was a master potter who had her hands in clay all day. She needed something to repair the damage the clay did to her hands. Other recipes we have developed as we have tested and learned about the benefit of natural ingredients.
Our Rosewater Face Creme is made from the rose water we make from our reddest roses combined with shea butter and glycerin which are great for your face. Because we use no waxes or preservatives in our cremes, they are absorbed into your skin and do not wash off.
You can use our full line of products knowing they are safe and nourishing for your body. No animals have ever been harmed in the testing of our products because we only test them on the people we love. None of our family or friends have been harmed, either.

About Us…
Natural Grandmas was started in 1998 by long-time friends – Carol Ortega and Liz Rogers (both former teachers). They decided to try to market some of the natural products they were using that Carol’s prolific gardening produced (Carol is an advanced master gardener who loves herbs and flowers) using Liz’s marketing background, determination and creativity.
Together they were dynamite – or at least explosive! They excelled in producing great products and teaching others about the benefits of using natural ingredients and the therapeutic benefits of oils and fragrances.
They first started doing workshops with dried flowers making wreaths and other decorative items. But they also loved bath oils and potpourris and other things that smelled good and looked pretty. The more they learned about the therapeutic effect of herbs and flowers the more they became fascinated with developing products that would both help de-stress a person’s life while providing beneficial effects on the skin and body. Thus the line was extended to add cremes, Utah Dead Sea bath salts, body scrubs, etc.
The company was passed down to their granddaughters in 2016. Carol and her granddaughters decided they would take things a different direction. Liz and her granddaughters continue on with the Natural Grandmas tradition. Liz supervises her granddaughters and is consulted before any changes are made. Her granddaughters continue to use the same natural and beneficial recipes used by Liz and Carol. Some of the recipes used for our products are ones that have been used in our families for generations. Others have been designed by Liz and Carol using ingredients that our mothers and grandmothers have used and loved. We use carrier oils that are natural plant oils like almond oil, sunflower oil and grape seed oil.
We add no preservatives to our products with the exception of Vitamin E, which is a natural preservative and a natural sun screen. Vitamin E is added to some, but not all of our products. We use essential oils to scent our products where available, and fragrance oils to scent the rest of our products. We add flavored oils to our lip balm.
All of our products have been tested on our own bodies and the bodies of family and friends. Once we are satisfied with the results, these new products are introduced into our product line.
