Why Ingredients Matter: A Skincare Story Rooted in Trust

When Dr. Cole’s Herbal Remedies first began, it wasn’t because of a market trend—it was because our CEO, Linda Langenbacher, couldn’t find a face moisturizer that didn’t make her skin itch or overwhelm her with synthetic fragrance. Everything on the shelves was either heavily scented or filled with ingredients her skin simply couldn’t tolerate. “And a few others that smelled too much and made my face itch,” she said. “Tried carrot cream that did a pretty good job but smelled so much that people would comment about it.” So together with Dr. Cole, she created what didn’t exist: Fresh Face Organix, a clean, gentle face moisturizer designed for people with sensitive skin who are tired of compromising.

Linda’s Story: From Frustration to Fresh Face

That’s where Dr. Cole came in. A seasoned naturopathic doctor, she helped Linda formulate a moisturizer free of synthetics, phthalates, sulfates, and other questionable ingredients. What they made together became Fresh Face Organix—and the beginning of something much bigger.

Why Ingredients Matter

At Dr. Cole’s Herbal Remedies, we believe that what you leave out matters just as much as what you put in. That’s why every product we make is:

• Phthalate-Free: We never use synthetic fragrance extenders that can irritate the skin or trigger headaches.

• Sulfate-Free: Harsh foaming agents that strip skin’s natural moisture? Not here.

• Free from Synthetic Fillers: Our products rely on real herbs, oils, and botanicals—never lab-made copies.

• Handcrafted in Small Batches: For maximum freshness and potency, each product is made with care.

Our Promise to You

Whether it’s Fresh Face Organix or any of our handcrafted herbal balms and creams, you can rest assured that what’s touching your skin was chosen with purpose. We know sensitive skin because we live with it. That’s why every jar is made with ingredients you can pronounce and trust.

If you’ve ever looked for skincare that loves your skin back, you’re not alone. Linda’s story is just one of many—and maybe yours is next.
