Our Story


Welcome to our store!

 

My name is Nury—proud mother, grandmother of four beautiful grandchildren, and co-founder of Naturalis along with my daughter, Patricia.

Our journey began in the most personal way, from a place of love and a desire to help family.

When my granddaughter was just four years old, she struggled with painful eczema and dermatitis. As a family, we tried countless lotions and soaps prescribed by doctors, but nothing seemed to work long term—and many were filled with harsh chemicals. It was heartbreaking to see her skin flare up again and again.

That’s when I turned to something more natural and close to my roots. I created our very first soap using Rosa Mosqueta (Rosehip Oil)—an ingredient I grew up knowing for its powerful healing benefits. Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, Rosehip helps nourish dry skin, fade dark spots, and soothe irritation. To our joy, this homemade soap brought my granddaughter true relief—and to this day, it’s the only soap she uses.

Encouraged by this small success, Patricia and I began experimenting with other nourishing oils and herbs—sourcing organic ingredients locally from Southwest Florida and globally from Central and South America, and Europe. With each new recipe, our passion for natural skin care grew into something much bigger.

Today, Naturalis offers a growing line of soaps and skin care products—each one lovingly crafted with the same care and purpose that started it all. We now share our family’s creations at local farmers markets, select boutiques, and online for customers across the country and beyond.

What started as a grandmother’s love has blossomed into a family-run business devoted to natural, handcrafted care for every generation.


A Message from the Co-Founder of Naturalis

 

Hello Naturalis Family! 💚

I’m Patricia, co-founder of Naturalis Soaps, and I wanted to personally share a little bit about who we are, what we do, and most importantly—why we do it.

I was born and raised in beautiful Chile, where I earned a degree in Business and always dreamed of one day running my own company. In 2000, I moved to the United States in search of new opportunities—leaving behind my home, my loved ones, and the first 27 years of my life. It was one of the hardest and most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made.

Fast forward to 2018, my mom and I started Naturalis as a small hobby, born from love and a desire to care for our family.

When my youngest daughter suffered from severe eczema, nothing seemed to work—until my mom created a gentle, healing rosehip soap using natural oils she knew from back home. It was the only thing that gave my daughter real relief and helped fade her scars. That soap changed everything for us—and it still does.

Then, like many others, the pandemic changed our lives again. I lost my job and decided it was time to give our little passion project my full attention. That’s when Naturalis truly came to life as a full-fledged business.

We now handcraft sea sponge soaps and skincare products with love, using only the best natural ingredients—locally sourced and globally inspired. Every soap we make is rooted in the belief that skincare should be safe, effective, and made just as Mother Nature intended.

My dream? To see Naturalis stores in every corner of the country—bringing natural healing, comfort, and love to families everywhere.

I'm so thankful to this country for giving me the chance to grow—as a woman, a mother, a wife, and an entrepreneur. And I’m even more grateful to you, our Naturalis family, for believing in what we do.

We promise to continue bringing you skincare made with care, tradition, and love.

With gratitude,


Patricia
