Which Shark Tank entrepreneur founded Simple Sugars at age 11?

The story behind the answer

Lani Lazzari founded Simple Sugars at age 11.

Simple Sugars began as a handmade skincare business producing exfoliating sugar scrubs. Lazzari started making the products as a child and developed the company before appearing on Shark Tank as a young entrepreneur.

Her pitch became notable because of her age and because the business had already developed a product line with repeat customers. Mark Cuban invested in Simple Sugars after the presentation, helping the company expand its manufacturing and distribution.

The company is often mixed up with other youth-founded businesses associated with Shark Tank. The key identifying detail is that Lazzari’s business centered on sugar-based skincare scrubs, not food products or children’s beverages.
