My name is Carol and I am the founder of Bolle di Natura. I was born & grew up in Italy & now living in Paris after spending 13 years of my life in NYC working in the Corporate world.

I have a master in Economics and Business and I worked for many years in Finance and Accounting in Real Estate Development & Construction Management.

In the past I made soap sporadically with the intention of reducing plastic waste in our home but never had time to make it consistently due to my hectic work life.

Then COVID-19 happened and I found myself stuck at home as everyone else.

Washing hands with soaps became a necessity as well as making soaps to make sure our hands were clean but also not too dry from the frequent usage, especially for my little one who started having rashes from the stores bought soaps and detergents.

The lockdown definitely helped me further develop this passion. I spent a lot of time home studying about cosmetic formulations, I completed 2 training courses in Zero Waste Soap Making and Zero Waste Hair Care to learn how to formulate my own recipes, attended a course in herbalism while learning how to source good quality & sustainable ingredients.

This passion grew each day and made me so happy to see all the many products I was able to make each time... Learning new things and finding time for myself really helped me alleviate all the stress and the tension that built up from what was happening outside of home.

Bolle di Natura was founded in New York and when me and my family decided to move back to Europe, I then decided to take this side hobby to the next level as an opportunity to inspire people about making sustainable choices in self care, support small business ethics and mostly reduce plastic pollution.
