My Story: Owner/Founder Jean Marie Pizzariella
My educational background is in business and accounting, and I held positions as an accountant, a software consultant, and a project manager in my corporate life. But I always searched for an outlet for my creative side, which manifested itself in hobbies such as baking and yarn crafts. A soap making class at a local shop was the catalyst that led to an interest in handmade skin care products. I began making soaps and other skin care products for family and friends, and, based on the positive feedback that I received, decided that this was a business opportunity that I wanted to pursue. Over the past several years, I’ve developed an increasing awareness of the harsh chemicals that are in our skin care and cleaning products. As a result, I was drawn by the ability to know exactly what is in the products that I use. I love the simplicity of the products that I make, and the fact that the ingredients are well known, safe, and effective. I started Daisy Natural Skin Care because I believe that others share my concerns and are looking for products that have easily understandable ingredient lists.
As I delved deeper into the world of handmade skin care products, I became interested in other aspects of the handmade lifestyle, which I write about on my blog at www.daisynatural.com.

Moisturizers
Moisturizers soften the skin and help relieve dry, itchy skin. Some of the key moisturizing ingredients in Daisy Natural Skin Care products are:
Apricot Kernel Oil: light, non-greasy oil that is easily absorbed by the skin; high in Vitamin E and unsaturated fats, which soften and moisturize dry skin.
Avocado Butter/Avocado Oil: contains skin-friendly Vitamins A, D, & E, plus antioxidants, which moisturize and soothe the skin.
Cocoa Butter: derived from the roasted seeds of the cacao tree; softens the skin.
Honey: natural humectant that helps the skin attract and retain moisture.
Mango Butter: extracted from fruit kernels of the mango tree. Contains fatty acids, which moisturize the skin.
Shea Butter: obtained from the nut of the African shea tree; high in fatty acids and antioxidants, which helps moisturize and soothe dry, flaky skin.
Sweet Almond Oil: light oil that is easily absorbed by the skin. Moisturizes without feeling greasy.

Exfoliators & Other Ingredients
Exfoliators are abrasive particles that help remove dry, flaky skin, leaving skin smooth and soft. The following natural exfoliators are used in our Honey Oatmeal and Gardener’s Soaps:
Ground Oatmeal: oatmeal is a mild exfoliator and is great for sensitive skin.
White Pumice: natural exfoliator that is made from volcanic rock. Pumice is very abrasive and is therefore not an appropriate exfoliator for people with sensitive skin.
Cornmeal: natural exfoliator that is made by milling the corn kernel.
Other important ingredients in Daisy Natural Skin Care products include:
Bentonite Clay: natural clay that draws impurities from the skin and absorbs excess oil.
Vitamin E Oil (Tocopherol): natural antioxidant that is derived from the vacuum distillation of edible vegetable oils; also helps extend the life of the butters and oils used in Daisy Natural Skin Care products.
Green Tea Extract: rich in natural antioxidants called catechins.

Daisy Natural Skin Care's Gardener’s Soap (a.k.a. Mechanic's Soap) is great for when you’re extra grimy. It has white cornmeal and pumice, which exfoliates your skin and helps get the dirt off.
