Meet Terry Carter of Travertine Spa in Orange County

Today we’d like to introduce you to Terry Carter.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Terry. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I was working in corporate technology law and would seek out new spas as a way to escape the stresses of the boardroom. I started making handmade body care gifts for friends. Some started placing orders and it grew into a business.

Has it been a smooth road?
The road is long and windy. Initially, I chose the wrong labels and the ink would run in the shower. I had to learn FTC guidelines for product copy. Navigating a changing economy allowed us to successfully integrate an online digital presence. Capitalization is an ongoing issue for any business. We plan for rainy days. I want my employees to feel secure in their employment.

So, as you know, we’re impressed with Travertine Spa, Inc. – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Travertine is a premium brand of skin and body care products. We travel the globe for inspiration, ingredients and ancient skincare rituals. The result is a line of bio-available, vitamin-rich, botanical, vegan and cruelty-free products.

We make products with quality ingredients that have a therapeutic effect. I personally travel to Senegal to source oils and to Europe for packaging.

What sets us apart is that I am a perfumer and all of our fragrances are hand-blended and created in-house.

We are the creators of the Eucalyptus Steam Shower Sprays, an innovative line of aromatherapy products that transform your shower into a quality spa experience. It has been an Amazon’s Choice product for over two years and Featured by Forbes as a Travel Product of distinction.

Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I love the variety of people. To have various perspectives surrounding you is rich and fulfilling. I am not a fan of purposeful division.

Pricing:

  • 4oz Eucalyptus Steam Shower Spray $26
