Skin conditions can be extremely hard to find remedies for and also are just aggravating to those who suffer from them. Founder of Simple Sugars, Lani Lazzari suffered from eczema and tried so many products and doctors visit to try to help. Nothing was working, so Lani, being in high school at the time, took it upon herself to research and mix up her own home remedies. She finally made one that helped her clear her skin. This was the first time in her life she was eczema free; that is a long time to suffer from a condition, so to finally find a solution had to have been a wonderful feeling. After seeing results on herself, her aunt saw results from her psoriasis and her friend who had rosacea. She began her business after realizing that her product is actually helping people suffering from their skin conditions. As she was still only in high school, Lani took her junior year off to work on her business and decided to work on growing her business and not continue her education at college. She actually went on Shark Tank and received an offer from Mark Cuban. Needless to say, her business is doing well, and it all started in her high school years.

Lani’s story is so impactful to me because it again is another example of someone trying to solve a problem for themselves and it ends up helping others. What is so amazing is the authenticity of these young entrepreneurs who find a solution to their own problem, realizes it helps others, and they want to find a way to provide others with their solution to solve their problem. Lani is innovating with her organic products that help with a multitude of skin conditions. I personally feel that the area of skincare is so overwhelming and aggravating. But it is also an area that is very popular as people simply just want to find a way to clear and heal their skin. Lani found a solution herself because nothing worked for her, and now she shares it will others because she wants others to feel the way she felt. I love the story of this product and the genuine care Lani put into starting this business. It inspires me to want to solve a problem that will help others and provide it to them in a sincere, genuine way.
