Nardo's Natural

History

Nardo's Natural (pronounced nar·dohs nat·u·ral) was founded by four brother's Kyle, Danny, Keith (KJ, deceased), and DJ Mastronardo and Felipe A. They concocted the first jar of lotion in their parents kitchen and registered the business in April 2009. On March 9, 2012, the Nardo's Natural brothers appeared on ABC's reality television show Shark Tank[1] and partnered with real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran.[2] The following month in April 2012, Nardo's Natural released Nardo's Natural Muscle Rub and partnered with Major League Baseball pitcher David Price [3] and signed an endorsement deal. Following the athletic ratification, the Tampa Bay Rays faced the New York Mets and the Nardo's Natural brothers were invited to throw the ceremonial first pitch to David Price. Soon after, May 17, 2012, Nardo's Natural organic skin care products were featured on Good Morning America.[4] Tory Johnson selected the Nardo's Natural brand for an exclusive segment on GMA's Steals & Deals. The segment trafficked over one million hits to Nardo's Natural website, a pivotal moment for the company.
