Less is more. Three ingredients are all it takes for Renee Harris to make her quintessential hard lotion. Growing up in California, Renee shares how she experienced skin dryness due to the harsh summers. After growing up and having children, she noticed that her palms were getting cracked and split due to continuous hand washing after changing so many diapers. She decided to learn to make a lotion bar with three simple ingredients, and she was amazed at the results.  She shares how she marketed hard lotion to cowboys and truckers, who were equally amazed. She explains the three ingredients that make hard lotion so special: beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil. Coconut oil melts at the same temperature as the skin, shea butter nourishes the skin, and beeswax helps it to stay longer on the skin. Renee finally shares the secrets of making good, hard lotion. About Renee Renee's first lotion bar was created out of desperation, mixed with creativity. The creativity came from the pleasure she got from making things from her kitchen for her family, whether it was soap, bread, mung sprouts or our family special "apple kefir" that resembles Martinelli's sparkling juice. The desperation came, literally, from her hands. She had the worst pain from the tips of her fingers that were often covered in Band-aids from the cuts and splits from her daily activities and extremely dry skin. Her hands were her most important tools, but they caused her intense suffering... until the lotion bar. Not only did that first lotion bar heal up her skin within days, but she tried it with her son's seasonal eczema, and was ecstatic that his pain also ended with the lotion bar. Something that was so easy to make turned into a family business after she and her older boys took it to the farmer's market for testing where they received great feedback from customers at the market, as well as several online groups who agreed to test it and fill out surveys. Renee and her husband are now running MadeOn full time. Links Website - hardlotion.com Instagram - @hardlotion

Iranian-born Hanieh Sigari moved to America when she was seven. There, she made unusual friends for her age and had to deal with loss early in life. This experience as a girl inspired her to dedicate herself to figuring out the “fountain of youth.” Hanieh shares how she evolved as a passionate businesswoman by starting a nursing home health care business that boomed to building Qyral, a personalized skincare anti-aging brand. After a long run at her nursing home health care business, Hanieh decided to sell it off to create a personalized skincare company for individuals based on a quiz that helps to extract specific information to personalize her clients’ formulation. She details how she alters PH, concentrations, and other elements to suit individual skin types. Hanieh also shares how paying attention to customer feedback helps her brand evolve. She explains two tips driving her brand’s evolution: customer-centricity and flexibility with new ideas. According to Hanieh, empathizing with her customers helps her understand and personalize services better. About Hanieh After being disappointed too many times, Hanieh researched the science behind miracle skincare claims, and discovered that it didn't hold any true value. There was more than one thing missing. As you would expect, she discovered an obvious truth; generic products produce nothing more than generic results. There is definitely no one size fits all approach to skincare since our skin compositions are not the same. She then decided to do better, by giving the skin what it truly needs. A tailored approach based on the skins needs. She has since dedicated years to working with world-renowned formulators and dermatologists who all agree: if you want to reverse the signs of aging and improve your skin’s appearance, cellular turnover holds the key. Effective skincare products work by supporting your body’s natural processes. As we age, those processes slow and are compounded by factors including genetics, lifestyle, and environment. And because those factors are unique to us, our skincare products need to be unique too. It’s more than just skincare; it’s cellular care. Combining her training in biochemistry with entrepreneurial experience, she created Qyral, by taking cutting-edge research on aging and marrying it to beauty, science, and empowerment.
