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.

Rosie Johnston is the founder of the clean fragrance line By Rosie Jane. Johnston originally trained as a makeup artist and began working in London, then moved to Los Angeles, where she continued to build her skills and clientele. In 2003, she founded Rosie Jane Cosmetics, which offered an ahead-of-its-time multipurpose lip and cheek pot. While the venture didn't last, she realized she had a love and knack for making her own products. She then created her signature scent, wearing it to shoots, hoping that it would make her memorable to clients and help her to book more jobs. But when clients and friends began asking to purchase the scent, something clicked. She began producing larger quantities, and soon after, By Rosie Jane was born. Since launching in 2010, By Rosie Jane has expanded from one scent to seven. It's also formulated perfumes, perfume oils, and a suite of bodycare products. The brand is consistently one of Sephora's top-selling fragrance brands, and last year reached $10 million in revenue, making it one of the most recognizable clean fragrance brands on the market today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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. Above all, it's a story about turning a personal struggle into a movement that's changing the face of beauty.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[04:26] Struggling with eczema and the need for safe beauty products[05:52] Discovering the flaws in clean beauty[07:38] Why it took her so long to start her own business[08:54] Getting her first investment and launching Tower 28[10:42] Why launching at 40 was the right decision[11:58] The myth of overnight success and why experience matters[13:21] The role of a CEO and why she chose to stay in the position[14:47] Challenges of balancing leadership with business growth[16:32] Bringing her husband in as CFO and working with a spouse[18:15] Breaking through the crowded beauty market[19:44] The philosophy behind Tower 28's product development[21:18] Why sensitive skin testing sets Tower 28 apart[22:53] Expanding at Sephora and becoming a top-performing brand[24:36] When to raise money and how to choose the right investors[26:24] Private equity, beauty playbooks, and scaling successfully[28:10] The challenges of hiring and building the right team[30:28] Leadership lessons and learning from mistakes[32:42] Creating Clean Beauty Summer School and supporting founders[34:20] The importance of representation in the beauty industry[36:08] Why collaboration is more powerful than competition[38:35] Advice for struggling entrepreneurs in a competitive marketResources Mentioned:Tower 28 | WebsiteNational Eczema Association | WebsiteSephora Clean | WebsiteGoop Clean | WebsiteCredo Clean | WebsiteClean Beauty Summer School | WebsiteFollow Nancy Twine:Instagram: @nancytwinewww.nancytwine.comFollow Makers Mindset:Instagram: @makersmindsetspaceTikTok: @themakersmindset

Could your daily beauty routine be making you sick? Most women apply 20-25 personal care products a day—loaded with hidden toxins that disrupt hormones, overload the liver, and even increase the risk of infertility and cancer. But what if clean beauty could be more effective, cost-efficient, and safer than the products you're using now?On this episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with Trina Felber, founder of Primal Life Organics, a clean beauty expert, registered nurse, and best-selling author, to uncover:
Your "clean" foundation probably contains liquid plastic. And even the most popular clean beauty brands are defending its use.I'm taking a diving deep into a controversial topic in clean beauty: the use of liquid plastics like polyethylene in makeup. While brands like Merit and Ilia market themselves as clean, they're using ingredients that contribute to our growing environmental plastic crisis.The argument from these companies is that liquid plastic molecules are too large to be absorbed by your skin and therefore "safe." But when you wash these products down your drain, they join the microplastics in our water system, eventually making their way back into our food, water, and bodies. Even small amounts matter when we consider the cumulative environmental impact.In this episode, I break down the science behind liquid plastics in cosmetics, share which brands are truly clean, and explain why I'm considering adding these ingredients to my official toxins to avoid list. Whether you're concerned about environmental impact or just want to make informed choices about your makeup, you'll learn how to identify and avoid liquid plastics in your beauty products.In today's episode, we're chatting about: • Why popular clean beauty brands are defending the use of liquid plastic • How to identify plastic ingredients in your makeup • The environmental impact of washing these products down the drain • Which brands are truly plastic-free • The difference between microplastics and liquid plastics in cosmeticsWendy's Non-Toxic Makeup PicksDownload the Top 25 Toxins to Avoid and become a label reading pro!

Justin Wolff is a Social Entrepreneur who has built his career by blending commerce with cause. As the CEO and Co-Founder of Junk Theory and former Co-Founder and Chief Giving Officer (CGO) at Yoobi, Justin has built impactful brands by transforming narratives and driving change. At Yoobi, Justin created and oversaw the Buy One, Give One program, building meaningful impact centered around what students needed most, and what teachers were most likely to spend money out of pocket for. To scale the giving program at Yoobi, Justin forged strategic partnerships to ensure donated school supplies reached those in need nationwide. He infused a giving spirit into Yoobi's culture, influencing decisions across design, marketing, and operations. By its second year in business, Yoobi was providing more than 1 million kids per year with free sets of school supplies, right here in the U.S. To date, Yoobi has provided more than 7 million kids across the US, and counting. In 2023, Justin launched his second brand, JunkTheory, which aims to end the plastic era in beauty – a category that produces over 120 billion pieces of plastic packaging per year. Clean skincare, he believes, should start with healthy formulas, but must also consider what those formulas come packaged in. JunkTheory is the first clean skincare line where nothing goes in the trash, and everything is packaged in metal – the most recycled material on earth. Prior to his life as an entrepreneur, Justin was a project finance attorney – leveraging his passion for the environment by specializing in the clean energy space, where he helped develop utility-scale wind and solar farms around the world.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:41] Intro[01:51] Building impact brands with purpose and innovation[03:44] Redefining sustainable & ‘clean beauty'[05:05] Solving recycling challenges with aluminum[07:16] Why great products outweigh great packaging[09:24] Combining sustainability with original formulas[10:19] Launching organically with limited resources[12:34] How product efficacy drives customer retention [13:16] Episode sponsors: StoreTester and Intelligems[16:28] Digital strategies with performance marketing[18:43] Building impact partnerships for brand awareness[19:32] Organic growth sets the stage for paid success[21:33] Growing a genuine audience without shortcuts[22:37] Time for paid ads and time to let products speak[24:06] Try Junk Theory and contribute to a cleaner planetResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeMost recyclable, earth-powered skincare junktheory.com/Follow Justin Wolff linkedin.com/in/justin-wolff-6b563913/Book a demo today at intelligems.io/Done-for-you conversion rate optimization service storetester.com/If you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.
