About the maker: Naked Bar Soap Co. was founded in 2011 by Natasha Byrd-Gaylon. In dealing with the skin issues of her infant son, she found using simple natural ingredients found in the pantry were better skincare remedies than the over the counter medicinal quick fixes.
In 2013 Natasha partnered with longtime friend Jennifer Peets. Together they shared a love for green beauty and natural living. Between Natasha’s product creativity and Jennifer’s knowledge of marketing and social media it was a match made in heaven.
Natasha and Jennifer are both proud Black Latinas and hope you love their line!
