The Green Edit Podcast

Today's guest is Anna Mitsios, naturopath, skincare formulator and founder of Edible Beauty AustraliaAnna's journey began in the corporate world, where she spent over a decade specialising in corporate finance and private banking. However, a pivotal moment in her life came at the age of 18 when she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. This diagnosis sparked her deep dive into botanicals, nutrition, and holistic health as she sought to manage her autoimmune condition and help others achieve optimal health.In 2014, Anna took a leap and launched Edible Beauty while working as a naturopath at a fertility clinic. There, she realised there was a gap in the market for truly safe, effective skincare—products that were free from endocrine disruptors and harmful chemicals. So, she created a line of skincare so pure, you could almost eat it.Anna is a firm believer that beauty begins from within. She developed Edible Beauty not just as a skincare line, but as a holistic wellness range, where products nourish both the skin and body from the inside out.I've had the pleasure of knowing Anna for almost a decade, and I've witnessed Edible Beauty grow into an innovative brand that continues to evolve while staying true to its core values of transparency, integrity, and efficacy.Today, Anna is here to share her expertise in health and skincare formulation as she introduces her latest groundbreaking product—a high-performance anti-aging solution that targets aging at the cellular level.

If you are a beauty brand looking to make aligned retail partnerships, gain knowledge about how to approach buyers and navigate knock backs and rejection, Nicci will be sharing her insights and experience with beauty brands and wellness brands.One of the key challenges I hear from beauty and wellness brand founders across all categories including skincare, makeup, beauty injestables and wellness products is the difficulty they experience gaining the attention of beauty buyers as they aim to grow their retail distribution channels.The Green Edit Beauty Summit is fast approaching onThursday the 16th of March and I have curated a panel of key beauty buyers from Sephora Australia, Nourished Netherlands, Clean Beauty Market and RIISE who will share valuable insights about what they look for when curating products for their stores and how your beauty brand can stand out from the rest. Beauty Summit Tickets:https://www.thegreenedit.com.au/industry-event-award-2023In the lead up to Beauty Summit I have invited Nicci Herrera, Director of Partnerships for Retail Beauty Magazine to join us via a virtual fireside chat to share a really unique perspective about how to navigate and make aligned retail partnerships for your beauty and wellness brand. Nicci has over 25 years experience across many aspects of the beauty industry including publishing, retail, marketing, strategy and sales.

That they say is where the magic happens and when real partnerships are made. They are joining the Beauty Breakfast summit as they want to connect with you and hear more about your brand and story. Which means this is the event you need to be at to make these valuable connections.At time of recording I still have some tickets available for The Beauty Breakfast Summit.

Welcome to The Green Edit Podcast, your go-to destination for clean, high-performance beauty, hosted by founder & Organic Makeup Artist, Cathy Tolpigin. On this podcast, you'll hear interviews with brand founders, formulators, beauty innovators, inspiring entrepreneurs and wellness experts. Together we unpack the various definitions of clean, share inspiring brand stories, and cover the latest innovations in the green beauty industry — with a few product recommendations thrown in, of course. ​We want to inspire you to re-think your routine; to discover cleaner options without ever having to sacrifice efficacy, luxury or performance. ​Today's  guests Harry Smith and Chris Lam are founders of Waste Revolution Australia. They have created Australia's leading plastic neutral certification, which helps companies measure, reduce and offset their plastic. I first heard about Waste Revolution Australia when I interviewed, Inika Organic's Global Brand Manager, Polly Roderick on episode 19 of the podcast. She announced that Inika had just become the first plastic neutral makeup brand in the world. I was curious learn more, especially as I will be presenting at the Beauty Insiders Industry event on the topic of beauty packaging and sustainability. I'm currently deep in the research. I have been speaking  with many beauty brand founders to gain insights about their packaging and sustainability, it's clear that it can often be a difficult and challenging process to navigate. Essentially beauty packaging is important, it's the vessel that protects and preserves a brands formulation. It maintains the integrity and shelf life of active ingredients. And packaging function and aesthetics are important for branding, retail and for engaging consumers.Waste Revolution's model of measure, reduce and offset plastic usage, unlocks corporate capital and channels it to recycling and plastic collection while supporting local communities. And better yet, Waste Revolution works to compliment existing consumer facing recycling programs such as Teracycle and Close The Loop.I hope this episode inspires other beauty brands to reach out and work with Harry and Chris who are creating a new standard. One where all businesses are fully accountable for their impact on the environment – both plastic and carbon. Last product you purchased - Almond Oil as a face oil.            What's been your best beauty discovery this year - Living in the tropics - has made his skin less dry and more hydrated.Your desert island skincare product - Sunscreen - preferable in plastic neutral packagingProfessional treatment you swear by - Harry would like to remind himself and encourage us all to donate blood to the Red Cross.        Best piece of beauty or wellness advice you can share - Smile :)You can follow Harry and Chris @wasterevolution_aus on Instagram For complete show notes for this episode and for links to products mentioned head to:www.thegreenedit.com.au/podcast  And if there's anything you want to hear on future episodes let us know on Instagram @thegreenedit_au  www.thegreenedit.com.au  And finally, if you love listening, please rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks so much for listening and for being a part of our conscious community, we are thrilled to have you!

Please note that Emma's audio improves after the first few minutes of the podcast - unfortunately we had wifi issues. The content of the podcast is so incredible, it is such an inspiring episode.Today's guest is Emma Lewisham, founder of her namesake beauty brand. Hailing from New Zealand, the brand was born from Emma's personal desire for products that were truly clean and sustainable, but also delivered real, scientifically-validated results. Growing up, Emma was surrounded by strong female role models she was inspired by women who took risks and embraced challenges. Emma's grandmother was one of the first female CEOs in NZ, and her mother was a business owner and entrepreneur. Fearlessness and confidence was naturally wired into her. So she left her corporate career and after 5 years of research she launched with one product: the Skin Reset Serum, which is scientifically proven to prevent and reverse the signs of hyperpigmentation, dullness, age spots, and uneven skin tone.It saw immediate success, and the brand has been in high demand all over the world ever since. In our conversation we talk about Emma's commitment to sustainability. Her entire supply chain is fully traceable, every ingredient used is of the highest quality, and recently the brand announced its carbon positive status — an accolade that was incredibly supported by Jane Goodall. Emma truly believes that in life and work there are two options: either comfort or courage - her view is that you can't have both. Hearing about her amazing journey, her definition of the word clean and learning more about her science-backed formulation it is clear to see that Emma has achieved her goal of creating a new benchmark in beauty. And in the process Emma is inspiring the next generation of women including her young daughter to follow their dreams, step up to challenges and live a courageous life.Last product you purchased - Nars black eyeliner MeccaWhat's been your best beauty discovery this year - Meditation, Emma got back into it during lockdown - beauty comes from the insideYour desert island skincare product - Emma Lewisham Skin Shield SPF 30 Professional treatment you swear by - Acupuncture once a month.        Best piece of beauty or wellness advice you can share - Wear SPF, drink lots of water, plant based diet, exercise, smile, all the simple things, doing them consistently.You can follow Emma Lewisham on Instagram @emmalewisham For complete show notes for this episode and for links to products mentioned head to:www.thegreenedit.com.au/podcast  And if there's anything you want to hear on future episodes let us know on Instagram @thegreenedit_au  www.thegreenedit.com.au  And finally, if you love listening, please rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks so much for listening and for being a part of our conscious community, we are thrilled to have you!

Together we unpack the various definitions of clean, share inspiring brand stories, and cover the latest innovations in the green beauty industry — with a few product recommendations thrown in, of course. ​Today's guest is Carol Kavurma, General Manager of Look Good Feel Better Australia. For 31 years, Look Good Feel Better has run workshops to help Australians undergoing cancer treatment to recognise that small, simple actions of self-care each day can have a huge impact on both physical and emotional wellbeing. The workshops encourage patients to follow a daily routine to keep their skin nourished and protected, they are taught a few tips to give the illusion of lashes and brows and are shown how to style and wear a fun piece of headwear.We all know a fun pop of colour on the lips can make all the difference when we're in need of a little pick-me-up and for those undergoing cancer treatment, the confidence-boosting effect is even more powerful.As a makeup artist, I have loved supporting Look Good Feel Better over the years by running virtual and face to face skincare and makeup workshops. I have seen women enter the workshops with sadness and apprehension, it quickly transforms into a sense of relief and comfort, just by being in the same room with others who understand what they are going through. They leave the workshop with a sense of renewed confidence and often as new friends, which is beautiful to watch.I would love to support this amazing organisation further by donating $2 from every ticket sold to The Green Edit Event set for the 10th of March 2022. And if any beauty brands in our community would like to donate some products to Look Good Feel Better for use in future workshops, hopefully this episode provides a little insight and inspiration.Last product you purchased - RMS Beauty ConcealerWhat's been your best beauty discovery this year - Dr Hauschka Bath EssenceYour desert island skincare product -  Weleda Skin Food Professional treatment you swear by - Brow wax and MassageBest piece of beauty or wellness advice you can share - Sunscreen Sunscreen, sunscreen, essential for those undergoing cancer treatment and drink lots of water.You can follow Look Good Feel Better @lgfbaustralia a on InstagramAll information about registering for a workshop as a patient, registering as a volunteer, making donations of beauty products and financial donations are found on the Look Good Feel Better website:https://lgfb.org.au And if there's anything you want to hear on future episodes let us know on Instagram @thegreenedit_au  or  via email hello@thegreenedit.com.auAnd finally, if you love listening, please rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks so much for listening and for being a part of our conscious community, we are thrilled to have you!

Welcome to The Green Edit, your go-to destination for green, high-performance beauty. Host, Cathy Tolpigin is an organic makeup artist, founder and curator of The Green Edit, a digital media platform, event series and podcast that shines a light on the best in clean, sustainable, cruelty-free beauty and lifestyle brands and products. Today's guest Anna Mitsios founder of Edible Beauty Australia left a career in finance to become a naturopath in a fertility clinic, which then led her to create her award winning green beauty and wellness brand.At the age of 18 Anna was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic and she became very passionate about the incredible ability of natural herbs, diet and supplements to manage her health condition.After transitioning from a career in Finance and whilst working as a naturopath at a natural fertility clinic Anna was recommending that in addition to changes to their food and lifestyle routines, her patients make changes to their personal care products.At the time she found that there were very few options available for natural skincare products that were "edible", but still luxurious and therapeutic. As a result, she embarked on creating her own range. Anna quite literally started whipping shea butter, cocoa butter and rose water in her mother's cake mixer, eventually sharing the creations with friends and family.After much research, courses and cosmetic chemist meetings, Anna created the Edible Beauty Australia brand which now includes over 30 high performance skincare products, botanical beauty teas, delicious inner beauty elixirs, beauty tools and her newly launched Beauty Reset Drops which provide a natural alternative treatment to retinol.All without a cake mixer in sight! Book a naturopath consultation with Anna Mitsios https://ediblebeautyaustralia.com/pages/naturopath-consultsFollow Anna on Instagram @ediblebeautyau

Welcome to The Green Edit, your go-to destination for green, high-performance beauty. Cathy Tolpigin is an organic makeup artist, founder and curator of The Green Edit, a digital media platform, event series and podcast that shines a light on the best in clean, sustainable, cruelty-free beauty and lifestyle brands and products. Today I'm joined by journalist and beauty writer Emily Algar. Emily is a contributor at Byrdie, Grazia, Harper's Bazaar and has worked in the industry for almost seven years. She also works with us at The Green Edit to help bring some of our digital content offering to life. Today Emily is taking over the mic to help me share a little more about The Green Edit and why I am so passionate about celebrating truly natural, ethical and sustainable brands and helping people make the switch to clean beauty. As a professional makeup artist who only uses clean, ethical products personally and on clients, I am passionate about making green beauty mainstream. I aim to inspire and educate without greenwashing, helping The Green Edit community to navigate the space with transparency.Over the years, I have researched, tried and tested hundreds of beauty and lifestyle products to find the best high performance, ethical and clean options on the market. The best of the best is what earns a place on The Green Edit.The Green Edit is a platform dedicated to explaining and promoting the best in clean, sustainable, cruelty-free beauty and lifestyle products. We do this through two main channels: our digital content offering, and an in-person event series held in Sydney (pandemic permitting).  The Green Edit mission is simple: to explore and unpack the idea of clean beauty. We shine a light on brands that are sustainable, cruelty-free and formulated with high quality, clean ingredients. But we don't want to lose out on efficacy or experience. In essence, we want to inspire you to re-think your routine; to discover cleaner options and new favourites.   We also take a curious, open-minded approach to our work, and want our community to do the same. We ask questions, facilitate conversations and most importantly, are always evolving. On our digital platform, you'll find interviews with brand founders, expert commentary and lots of product recommendations (as tested by us).  We also have our Loved By The Green Edit Stamp and Recognised By The Green Edit stamp. Both stamps entail a certain set of criteria as mapped out by our founder, wellness experts, formulators and team of editors. They're designed to communicate our definition of clean, and to help you, our reader, make an informed decision about the products you buy. Loved By The Green Edit Stamp Criteria:https://www.thegreenedit.com.au/lovedbythegreeneditstampRecognised By The Green Edit Stamp Criteriahttps://www.thegreenedit.com.au/recognisedbythegreeneditstamp We don't subscribe to greenwashing or fear mongering. We just want to give our community the tools they need to make an informed decision. Plus, who doesn't love a 10/10 mascara/moisturiser/body oil recommendation?  So please enjoy, and thank you for joining our conscious community.
