About Us
Rooted in Purpose. Crafted with Care.
Carina Dolci Apothecary was born in 2010 from a simple but powerful belief: that everyone deserves access to high-quality skincare that is pure, safe, and effective — especially those with allergies and sensitivities.
Founded by Catherine, a licensed esthetician based in Myrtle Beach, SC, Carina Dolci Apothecary has spent over a decade becoming a trusted staple in gluten-free skincare. Every product is thoughtfully formulated without gluten, dairy, aluminum, phthalates, or dyes — because what you put on your skin matters just as much as what you put in your body.
Meet Catherine
Catherine started Carina Dolci Apothecary at just 24 years old with a heart full of purpose and a mission to make a difference. Now 40, and more than 16 years later, she continues to handcraft every product with joy and love — dedicated to bringing happiness and wellness to her customers through products she truly believes in.
Small Batch. Big Heart.
Each product is handcrafted in small batches right here in the USA. As a proudly independent small business, we pour intention into every step of our process — from sourcing clean ingredients to carefully filling each jar and bottle by hand. You'll never find mass-produced shortcuts here.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help others feel confident and cared for through skincare that is free from toxins and formulated with those with allergies in mind. We believe beauty and wellness should be accessible to all — and we do this work guided by our faith and a genuine love for the people we serve, spreading the love of Jesus Christ through every product we make.
Keep an eye out — you may find uplifting scriptures and Bible verses tucked into your orders or printed on your product packaging. It's our little way of sharing encouragement and love with every delivery.
Thank you for being part of our community. We are so grateful for you. God bless you.
“May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.”
— Philippians 1:2
