It's my pleasure to have Allie Egan, founder and CEO of Veracity on the podcast today! Allie transformed her personal struggle with infertility into a mission to help others reclaim their wellness. At a time when GLP-1 medications dominate headlines, Allie offers a refreshing perspective on sustainable health solutions. She explains practical wisdom on supplement selection and what to look out for, the art of self-advocacy, and how to design a life that truly serves you.

Do you suffer from dry patches, redness, acne, or other skin conditions even though you've tried just about every product on the skincare market? Allie Egan used to share those same frustrations until fertility testing granted her an “a-ha” moment she wasn't expecting. When her doctor started talking about the effects hormone imbalances could have on all areas of the body, Allie realized that they could be the culprit of her patchy skin. Her underactive thyroid was to blame, a revelation that she knew she had to share with other women with similar struggles. Out of that realization came Veracity – hormone based skincare.

I wanted to make my own money. I wanted to have that independence [from very early on].” — Allie Egan [0:07:03]“That [childhood health scare] experience has taught me how so many people think about their health. Instead of being proactive and [thinking] ‘What could be going on in my body? How can I make it better?', how they think about optimal health is clouded in fear.” — Allie Egan [0:11:20]“I feel fortunate that I ended up getting interviews at [L Catterton], which is 100% exclusively focused on consumer retail. I didn't know if I'd love [investment banking], but what I ended up loving was the consumer retail world.” — Allie Egan [0:15:09]“Like a lot of folks, I had been on this path of ‘This is the paved path. Keep going that way.' [I liked what I was doing], but I really started to soul search and think about: what could I be uniquely good at? What could I bring to the table?” — Allie Egan [0:17:53]“Part of what you're doing in building a company is being the conductor of all these things, whether it's ideas, expertise, products, or people.” — Allie Egan [0:18:30]“If you knew everything you were going to learn [as an entrepreneur], you'd probably make different decisions!” — Allie Egan [0:21:59]“Here I was, someone that worked in skincare, was seeking a doctor, and not only did I not have the tools to solve my aesthetic issue, but I also didn't have this important information about my underlying health.” — Allie Egan [0:31:07]“One piece of advice I always like to give to [entrepreneurs] is to try to talk about your ideas early and often, even when they're not perfectly formed.” — Allie Egan [0:39:36]“Raising capital is always hard. It is such a slog. I listened to the founder of Coinbase, [who said]: a successful fundraise is 9 out of 10 people telling you no. And that's in really good times!” — Allie Egan [0:42:03]“Being an entrepreneur is like, every day, either getting an acceptance or a rejection letter from your favorite college, but getting both accepted and rejected multiple times a day, every single day. Dealing with that elation down to the dumps is something that has become the norm.” — Allie Egan [0:43:03]

We can get a lot of information about what's going on internally based on what's happening externally, and no one knows that better than today's guest, Allie Egan. Allie is the Founder and CEO of Veracity, a science-backed, whole-health approach to skincare. When she was trying to start a family with her husband and not having success, she uncovered that she had an underlying hormonal issue that ended up being the root cause of both her infertility and dry, flaky skin. Her Hashimoto's diagnosis inspired her to dig deeper and learn more about the connection between skin conditions and hormone health. Since then, Allie has built a team of all-female experts who have not only developed diagnostic technology, but also formulated personalized skincare. Veracity goes beyond the skin barrier and has a group of holistic health specialists who provide diet, supplements, and lifestyle recommendations. She and her team have managed to combine sustainable packaging, clinically-backed skincare, and a luxurious aesthetic一something very few wellness bands have achieved. We discuss how the Veracity health test works, Allie's commitment to empathetic marketing and communications, and why it's time to reframe the narrative around hormones. In this episode, Allie and I dive into: The vision behind Veracity and how that's grown since the company launched The two major hormones that contribute to skin changes Why ‘skin types' are BS The company mission to be 100% plastic-free Key ingredients that Veracity doesn't include in their skincare formulations that many other clean beauty brands do How Veracity is building a new version of trust with customers Allie's approach to SMS communications and how she finds the balance between nudging vs. badgering Reducing the shame and stigma around hormones What you can expect when you do the Veracity at-home saliva test RESOURCES & PRODUCTS MENTIONED https://briogeohair.com/ (Briogeo Hair) https://veracityselfcare.com/en/skincare/blemish-calming-cleanser (Veracity Blemish Calming Cleanser) https://veracityselfcare.com/en/skincare/advanced-hydration-cleanser (Veracity Advanced Hydration Cleanser) https://veracityselfcare.com/en/skincare/bioevolve-serum (Veracity BioEvolve Serum) SPECIAL OFFER Use code THINGOFBEAUTY20 for 20% off your order at https://veracityselfcare.com/en (veracityselfcare.com).

Allie Egan is the Founder and CEO of Veracity Selfcare. Veracity was created to help you figure out what your skin is saying without having to rely on ‘skin types' or quizzes to determine your skincare routine. Veracity focuses on an at-home hormone test to gather data about the state of your skin and offer products optimized for you. Allie began her career investing in consumer and beauty brands at L Catterton and backs healthcare businesses as a venture partner at Meridian Street Capital. Before founding Veracity, she was CEO of the fashion brand Cynthia Rowley and led the product, e-commerce, and digital marketing teams at Estée Lauder's top brands, including La Mer, Clinique, and Origins. In today's episode, Allie and I talk about her experience and challenges with skincare, how hormone testing works and what it identifies, and the ingredients and environmental factors that affect our overall skin health.

We are thrilled to introduce today's guest, Allie Egan. Allie is the Founder and CEO of Veracity Selfcare, a next-generation beauty and wellness brand empowering women to understand the connection between their skin and their broader health through at-home testing and a holistic, data-driven approach to skincare. Their products are at the forefront of clean performance, excluding all endocrine disruptors and safe for all life moments, including pregnancy and breastfeeding. Prior to founding Veracity, Allie was the CEO of the women's fashion brand, Cynthia Rowley where she led the transformation to direct-to-consumer and more than doubled the business in two years. She has extensive experience in the beauty industry through her time at some of Estee Lauder's best brands, including Origins, Clinique, and La Mer. She also has broad consumer experience through her time as an investor at L Catterton. She holds a BS in Finance and Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia and an MBA with high distinction from Harvard Business School. Allie was inspired to create Veracity after years of seeking answers about her own skin. Frustrated from trying to heal persistent dry patches on her face, her "aha moment" came when she was tested for fertility issues. After suffering for three years she learned that she had an underactive thyroid– which was the direct cause of her skin issues. That is why she founded Veracity: to give people the tools she didn't have, and the knowledge she believes all women should have. A solution that uncovers root causes of issues big and small, offers proactive steps forward, and puts one on a path to better skin and better health. This conversation is insightful and empowering as Allie inspires you to take control of your own health. We unpack so much in this episode including how her new innovative company, Veracity, will help you get to the root of your skin issue through a simple at home lab test. Allie is an incredible wealth of knowledge when it comes to understanding how our hormones play a direct role in our skin and overall health. She talks about hormone disruptors that are in many prescription and over the counter beauty and personal care products and how they can impact our skin as well as our overall health. We are excited that Veracity's new Scientifically clean and endocrine disruptor-free skin care line is officially launched. All of their products are designed to treat hormonal imbalances and are created to work with your unique biochemistry. Allie believes that healthy skin is balanced, nourished, and radiant from the inside out. Shop Veracity's new product line here.

A graduate of University of Virginia and Harvard Business School, Allie began her career in finance, pivoting to fashion and beauty a few years later. After spending two years at Estee Lauder in various marketing roles, Allie became CEO of Cynthia Rowley. Listen along as fellow entrepreneur and Harvard Business School grad, Franci Girard, talks to Allie about the two births she experienced this year: her newborn son and new company.
Franci Girard is Founder and CEO of fashion e-commerce brand, The Sixes, a Stanford and Harvard Business School grad, a former professional volleyball player, and a former associate at Goldman Sachs. What hasn't this superwoman accomplished? Originally from Brooklyn, Franci credits much of her success to her mother, sister, and Prep for Prep, a leadership development program that offers promising students of color access to private school education in NYC. Standing at 6'1, Franci started The Sixes as a way to address style and fit issues on a historically underserved market, tall women. Listen to Franci's incredible career story as fellow entrepreneur and friend, Allie Egan, interviews her.
Allie Egan is the CEO of Cynthia Rowley, a leading global lifestyle brand built on the philosophy that fashion should be an adventure. Since joining Cynthia Rowley, Allie has not only headed the brand's switch to becoming digital-first through e-commerce, retail, and wholesale, but has also carried over the spontaneous spirit of the brand via innovative approaches to sustainability, marketing, and consumer experiences. We talk about: the power of technology and a digital-first approach within the brand, the open showroom and nomadic retail concept, causes the brand stands behind, the power of brand storytelling through collaborations, and more.
