Isola & Theo is built upon the belief that we can and must create healthier products for our bodies and our earth. Curated ingredients that prioritize Fair Trade suppliers, and made with biodegradable materials (inside and out), for healthy, beautiful skin and fragrant, healthy homes.

Mary Ritzel is a full stack/360º creator currently working on the launch of indie beauty brand Isola & Theo. After two decades working for notable corporate brands from beauty to consumer goods, she moved into the boutique agency space where she has won numerous AdClub awards for her work.
In her spare time, she is restoring habitat by rewilding and replacing invasive species with native plants.

Studio / Blog
Research and development. Bedrooms have been replaced by studios and labs of my 1920’s farmhouse. 2025 should see a return to social media, blogging.

Satis Gardens / Restoring Wildlife
In 2021 I moved to Central NY, buying a farmhouse on 16 acres. In my first year I planted trees, shrubs and native plants and the beginnings of my potager garden.

MarRi Collective has been put on pause since 2019 when I sold out of inventory and returned to design. Now at Satis Gardens in Central NY, my goal is to relaunch following the launch of Isola & Theo.
