We all have this innate desire to be heard, loved, respected, and seen. ROI Naturals was founded upon this very need while striving to fulfill it by giving you “the good stuff.” As someone who battles skin conditions such as eczema, owner and founder of ROI, Mariah Wingate had once adopted the mentality that when it came to skin, “it is what it is.” During her second trimester of her first pregnancy with her now four-year-old son, Mariah’s battle with eczema seemed to take a turn for the worse and the discomfort from the rashes increased. Shortly thereafter giving birth to a beautiful, healthy and blessed baby boy, Mariah and her husband began noticing that he too, suffered from dry and itchy skin. She could not withstand her son’s agonizing cries from the rashes she had come to know and decided to take real action. She and her husband decided to attempt at narrowing down any possibility of allergens but to no avail. They began purchasing body washes from grocers that were marketed to be “all natural” or “organic” but these only seemed to provide solutions that were short-lived or none at all. After a series of trial and error and lots of research, she decided that she would find a real solution for both her and her son. She was his provider, not these big cosmetic brands or companies. Research led her to discovering that most of the brands that she’d come to know and trust did not manufacturer soap at all. The products that she had used to cleanse her and her family’s bodies was not soap. As an individual who prided themselves on providing food for her family with the best of ingredients, this shook her to her core. She had no longer felt seen. This discovery led her on a path that led her into arms where she would feel seen again. Arms were she would not have to decide between feeling clean and being healthy. Into the arms of ROI.
