Nathan Townsie is a product developer, expert teacher, and founder of Nature Loves You Skincare ™. As brand founder, he has successfully launched 9 proprietary organic products, reached over 6-figures in sales, and is currently retailing in over 200+ stores throughout the U.S. & Canada. He was a finalist for QVC's The Big Find Pitch Competition & a semi-finalist for Shark Tank Dallas, in addition to having over 18+ years of award-winning instruction in public education.
Nathan's interest in organic formulations began when he struggled with finding non-toxic products for his family's diverse skincare needs, such as severe eczema, acne, & razor bumps. Frustrated with the synthetic chemicals of traditional brands, he created a brand that focused on natural, effective ingredients that were safe for his family & the environment.
His life-long love of teaching motivates him to help aspiring entrepreneurs reach their dreams. Nathan hosts several annual workshops and teaches future brand founders how to bring their ideas to life, and business strategies to get their products in high-margin retail outlets.
