lani lazzariPresident and FounderSimple Sugars

BUSINESS ROUNTABLEmeet our distinguished panelMy name is Lani Lazzari and I am the creator and founder of Simple Sugars.

Simple Sugars began in December of 2005, when my mom decided that we would have a homemade Christ-mas and insisted that my brothers and I make the holi-day gifts that we wanted to give to family and friends.

Since I was a baby I have had very sensitive skin and have been prone to eczema breakouts. I have never been able to use a commercially produced product without expe-riencing skin irritation or a major rash. So, I decided to make an all-natural product that would be safe for very sensitive skin like mine, would be fun to use and smell great too. I did lots of research, came up with my formu-lation, gave my scrubs out to family and friends, all of whom clamored for more and Simple Sugars was born!

Simple Sugars has grown a lot since then and so has my passion for all-natural skin care. I like to tell people, “If

you wouldn’t eat it, then you probably have no business putting it on your skin!”

When I’m not doing homework (evil!), or rowing with my crew team, I’m making and selling sugar scrubs. I love running my own business, coming up with new scents and products to keep my customers smooth and educat-ing people about why it’s so important to use chemical-free products on your skin.

My mission is simple (no pun intended!):

• To make the best all-natural, scrubs out of thehighest quality ingredients.

• To provide my customers with the best serviceavailable.

• Torenew,reuseandrecyclebecauseweonlyhaveone Earth.

And above all: To keep things simple.
