ABOUT ME
Sak Pase!
My name is Gardy and I’m the founder and creator of Naturally Lathered by Gardy, a lifestyle brand rooted in wellness, intentional living and the belief that caring for yourself should be both beautiful and meaningful.
​​
What began as a personal journey to heal my own skin has grown into something far greater than I ever imagined. Today, Naturally Lathered is more than handcrafted skincare, it’s a place where natural beauty, thoughtful living and everyday inspiration come together.
​
My Story
My journey began in 2020 after years of struggling with skin irritation and relying on prescription medications and over-the-counter products, I found they often brought temporary relief but unwanted side effects. Frustrated, I began researching natural ingredients and discovered the incredible benefits of handcrafted soap. I quickly fell in love with the art and science of soap making. Creating each bar became more than simply mixing oils and butters, it became an opportunity to create products that nurture the skin while bringing a little joy to everyday routines.
​
Every Naturally Lathered product is formulated using skin-loving ingredients without the harsh chemicals commonly found in many commercial products. My goal has always been simple: create products that I would proudly use on my own family and confidently recommend to yours.
​
​Naturally Lathered Has Grown Into So Much More
As my community grew, so did my passion for sharing the products, places and everyday discoveries that make life a little easier and a little more beautiful. Today, Naturally Lathered has expanded into several collections and experiences designed to inspire healthy, intentional living.
​
In addition to handcrafted bath and body products, you’ll also discover:
-
Lather & Lifestyle — Thoughtfully chosen Amazon favorites for beauty, home, travel, fashion and everyday living.
-
The Lather & Lifestyle Blog — where I share skincare education, DIY ideas, travel experiences, gardening tips, home inspiration, recipes, and practical lifestyle advice.
-
Books by Gardy — a growing collection of books and journals created to educate, inspire and encourage personal growth, wellness, and cultural appreciation.​
​
Everything I create is centered around one mission: Helping you live intentionally, so you can live fully.
Inspired by my Haitian heritage, family, culture and giving back have always been at the heart of who I am. Growing up with Haitian roots taught me the importance of community, generosity and creating something that serves others. The St. Michel Collection was created to honor my ancestors, my upbringing and the beauty of Haiti. A portion of every purchase from this collection supports charitable organizations featured on our website.
​
In 2023, I proudly introduced Chandèl by Gardy, our handcrafted candle collection inspired by the breathtaking landscapes, warmth and spirit of the Haitian countryside. This collection also contributes to organizations dedicated to supporting the Haitian community.
​
A Commitment to Sustainability
Caring for people also means caring for our planet. I’m continually working toward more sustainable practices and eco-friendly packaging while making thoughtful decisions that reduce our environmental impact without compromising quality.
Thank You for Supporting My Small Business
Because each handcrafted product is made in small batches, slight variations in color, shape and design are part of what makes every item truly unique. No two pieces are exactly alike and that’s exactly how nature intended it.
When you shop with Naturally Lathered, you’re supporting a small business built on passion, integrity and purpose.
I truly believe self-care is more than a routine—it’s a lifestyle. My hope is that every product, every recommendation, every story and every resource you find here helps you care for yourself, your home and the people you love.
Thank you for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to continue growing with you.
