Last week on the podcast, Lorraine Dallmeier – Chartered Environmentalist, Biologist and CEO of Formula Botanica – talked to Carly Snider of the Pact Collective, and Carly dropped a truth bomb: in many beauty brands, sustainability sits under the marketing department. Not operations. Not product development. Not supply chain. Marketing. And in this week's episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Lorraine unpacks why this matters more than you realise and how it impacts every conscious consumer and ethical beauty entrepreneur.

Susan Yara's journey to redefining skincare didn't start in a lab—it started in front of a camera. From reporting news in the Bronx to becoming a trusted beauty voice on YouTube, Susan built a community before she ever built a brand. With her platform Mixed Makeup, she offered something rare: expert-backed, educational content for women who were underserved by the beauty industry's hype-driven approach.But Susan wasn't just creating content. In 2019, she co-founded Naturium Skincare. Just four years later, she made headlines when she sold her company to e.l.f. Beauty for $355 million—and became one of the first content creators to successfully scale and exit a skincare brand.In this episode, Nancy and Susan go deep on the realities of building a digital-first beauty brand: funding operations before revenue, pivoting from an influencer to a founder mindset, and how it's so important to build authentic relationships with your community and retail partners. Susan shares the failures that shaped her, the influencer marketing tactics that actually work, and how she's balancing life as a founder, mom, and now solo parent.This is a story of vision, resilience, and reinvention. It's proof that you don't need to start with a perfect plan—you just need to start with purpose.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[03:12] Joining Forbes and building their first video network[04:55] Learning the power of early digital media[06:03] Getting into beauty and lifestyle content[07:24] Launching Mixed Makeup to serve older audiences[08:30] Early challenges funding high-quality content[09:45] Lessons from Susan's failed first business[11:15] Trying to bootstrap her own skincare brand[12:20] How COVID shut down her original plan[14:42] Joining Naturium and shaping brand direction[15:55] Why Susan moved away from “clean” marketing[17:02] Creating formulas that simplify skincare routines[18:08] Transitioning from influencer to business operator[19:20] Why pricing strategy matters for repeat customers[20:22] The shift in influencer strategy that changed everything[21:30] How nano influencers built authentic community[22:40] Using whitelisting to amplify UGC as ads[23:50] What brands get wrong about influencer selection[25:02] The power of founder-creator relationships[26:05] Getting into Target and making it work[27:15] Building a bold pitch retailers can't ignore[28:30] Launching Naturium body washes with intention[29:45] Hiring a CMO who can become your future CEO[30:58] The expanded role of modern CMOs[32:00] What to look for when hiring key leaders[33:12] Why Susan sold Naturium to e.l.f.

Amy Liu's journey to redefining clean beauty started in her own skin. As someone with eczema, she knew firsthand the struggle of finding beauty products that were both safe and effective. The industry was full of promises, but few products delivered results without irritation. After years of working behind the scenes at Smashbox, Kate Somerville, and Josie Maran Cosmetics, Amy found herself at a crossroads. She had built brands for others, but what about a brand built for people like her? People who wanted beauty without compromise? At 40, she took the leap and launched Tower 28, the first and only beauty brand 100% compliant with the National Eczema Association's ingredient guidelines. In this episode, Nancy and Amy unpack the highs and lows of entrepreneurship—overcoming the fear of failure, scaling a business while staying true to her mission, and bringing her husband on board as CFO. Recognized as Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year for Greater Los Angeles and one of Goldman Sachs' most exceptional entrepreneurs, Amy has proven that success doesn't have to come at the cost of integrity. This is a conversation about resilience, leadership, and the power of collaboration over competition.

Cristina Nuñez didn't just break into the beauty industry—she's redefining who gets to shape it. She started her career in traditional finance and private equity, but craved something more personal and creative.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Ekta is joined by Alanna Tran, the visionary founder of BiotechBeauty, for a conversation that redefines what beauty products can be. After battling acne and feeling let down by harsh skincare and pore-clogging makeup, Alanna set out to build a new kind of beauty brand—one that merges scientific rigor with skin-first performance. What began as a personal quest turned into a clinical, research-backed mission to create makeup that actively supports skin health.BiotechBeauty is disrupting the industry by going beyond surface-level claims and buzzwords. Alanna breaks down how the brand conducts clinical trials, tests for microbiome safety, and avoids “science washing”—the all-too-common practice of adding tiny amounts of active ingredients just for marketing. Instead, BiotechBeauty includes meaningful levels of skin-benefiting ingredients that have measurable, proven effects.Listeners will get an inside look at how BiotechBeauty's signature products, like the BiomeBlush®, are formulated to support acne-prone and sensitive skin without compromising on wear, pigment, or performance. Alanna also shares how biotech-derived ingredients, like sugarcane squalane and vegan collagen, are helping the brand deliver sustainable beauty solutions with integrity.If you're tired of choosing between makeup that looks good and skincare that works, this episode is a must-listen. Alanna's approach is proof that beauty can be clean, effective, microbiome-safe—and gorgeous. Tune in to discover how BiotechBeauty is reshaping the future of beauty with purpose and proof.CHAPTERS:(0:00) – Introduction: Launch of BiotechBeauty(1:09) – Alanna's Background and Journey to BiotechBeauty(3:22) – The Science-Backed Approach(6:05) – The Importance of Objective Clinical Testing in Beauty(9:01) – The Dangers of Supplier-Driven Ingredient Claims(10:20) – Science Washing in the Beauty Industry(13:04) – BiotechBeauty's Approach to Clean Beauty(15:30) – The Microbiome and Its Role in Skin Health(20:15) – Creating Non-Comedogenic Products for Acne-Prone Skin(23:06) – The Importance of Transparent Ingredient Lists(25:04) – The Challenges of Creating High-Performance Skincare Makeup(28:26) – How Biotechnology Supports Sustainability in BeautyTo learn more about BiotechBeauty, visit their website and social media.Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.
