Nima Jalali built SALT & STONE out of his apartment into a $100M+ brand, without ever pitching a single retailer. After an ACL injury redirected his path, he created something he desperately wanted but didn't exist, a high quality, clean deodorant, that actually performs. SALT & STONE has now become one of the fastest growing brands in the space to-date by doing things differently. Even right now, every 60 seconds a SALT & STONE deodorant is bought.  In this candid conversation Nima opens up about transitioning from a pro surfboarder into the Founder role, what it takes to build a killer team, and what keeps him going.

Storytelling through Life's Lowest PointsThe moment your voice catches and your chest tightens can feel like the end of your story. For Lauren, it became the beginning. After a postnatal mental health break that made everyday conversations feel impossible, she chose help—counseling, integrative care, and small, steady choices that made life breathable again. That path led her to study aromatherapy seriously, blend with intention, and build Essence One around a simple idea: one honest breath can change a day.We walk through the real climb. Early farmers markets and $30 days. A State Fair booth that forced a leap from “after hours” to full-time. National retail that looks shiny from the outside, and why the spa world—Waldorf Astoria, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons—was the right fit because it could hold both story and experience. We get specific about missteps too, like the 150,000 bottles ordered on a verbal yes, and the contract lesson that followed. Throughout, Lauren keeps the claims grounded: aromatherapy doesn't cure anxiety or depression; it's a tool alongside therapy, medication, sleep, and movement that invites a deeper inhale when you need it most.This is also a family story. Hiring her husband. Opening a retail shop inside the Disneyland spa. Teaching teens to shrink-wrap, sell, and take pride in work. Noticing when “lazy” is really misalignment—too much caffeine, too little sleep—and drawing new boundaries. We talk about storytelling as strategy and service, supporting teen mental health clubs through Bring Change to Mind, and the quiet role of faith when anxiety spikes before cameras or sales calls: prayer, music, breath, repeat.If you're a mother building a business, or a founder craving less noise and more presence, this conversation offers practical strategies, honest tradeoffs, and a reminder to define your own success. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a calmer blueprint, and leave a review to help more moms find their breath and their path.Resources:Simon Sinek: https://simonsinek.com/Book: No Mud, No Lotus: The Art of Transforming SufferingConnect with Lauren:Website: Essence OneEmail: info@essenceone.lifeIG: @essenceonelifeTikTok: @essenceonelifeFacebook: Essence One LinkedIn: Lauren VanscoyContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: The Hue Drop Newsletter: Subscribe Here IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page CAKES Affiliate Link: KELLYKIRK Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

This passion is the product of her past -from the many hours she spent out the back of her grandmother's health food shop as a child, through her experiences in London as a fashion designer, her work as a naturopath (where she was shocked by the amount of women visiting her with skin problems, most of them caused by environmental stressors and toxins), and by her experiences as a mother, with a daughter who grew up interested in all things skincare and makeup.

In today's skin-obsessed world, we are met with ever-emerging beauty trends, viral products, and buzzy cosmetic treatments that aim to do one thing: delay and reverse the dermal signs of aging, while preserving and nourishing the skin barrier.

Dr. Yang is a board-certified dermatologist and clinical assistant professor of medicine based in New York City.

Five years after our first exchange, Gregg returns with her story about navigating imposed change.

Today, we explore identity collapse, decoupling self-worth from success, why selling control means losing it, and the beauty industry's toxin loopholes. Along the way, we confront rebuilding when everything you've created is stripped away. This is an honest conversation about ego, humility, and the courage to begin again. Enjoy!

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Estella Benz, founder and CEO of Inference Beauty, to explore how data intelligence, ingredient transparency, and AI personalization are reshaping the future of skincare. What began as Estella's frustration with confusing ingredient lists and overwhelming product choices evolved into a powerful technology platform designed to decode beauty — not through trends, but through truth.Estella shares how Inference Beauty translates complex INCI labels into language consumers can understand, offering not just definitions but context: why an ingredient is used, what it does, and how it behaves on real skin. In an era dominated by fear-based “clean beauty” rhetoric, her mission is to bring clarity back to the consumer. “People don't need scare tactics,” she says. “They need understanding.”Through structured data, AI, and environmental analytics, Inference Beauty creates intelligent, personalized product recommendations based on climate, sensitivities, ethical preferences, and biological needs — shifting beauty away from one-size-fits-all marketing into a world built “for each.”As e-commerce grows, Estella envisions dynamic digital experiences where product pages adapt to each user, bridging the long-standing gap between what brands believe they're communicating and what consumers actually understand. Yet even as she champions AI, she emphasizes the irreplaceable role of human expertise — especially for active, medical-grade, or prescriptive products.Tune in to hear how Estella Benz is building the next generation of beauty intelligence — where transparency, personalization, and smart data come together to redefine how we discover and trust skincare.Learn more about Inference Beauty on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:0:27 – Introduction & Guest Welcome1:27 – Estella's Background & Early Inspiration2:31 – The Birth of Inference Beauty4:06 – Market Misconceptions & The Female Consumer Gap5:45 – How Personalization Transforms Shopping6:56 – Ingredient Data, Ethics & Environmental Impact10:05 – Transparency, Clean Beauty & Consumer Education16:36 – The Role of AI in Personalized Beauty23:06 – The Future of Tech, Data & Human Touch in BeautyPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.

In this deeply soulful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with May Lindstrom, founder of May Lindstrom Skin, to explore the intimate connection between sensitivity, ritual, and true nourishment. Known for her artisanal, plant-based formulations and sensory-rich approach to beauty, May shares how her lifelong struggle with eczema led her to create skincare that heals rather than hides — born from necessity, curiosity, and love.Raised in the natural stillness of northern Minnesota, May found refuge in the earth's elements — clays, oils, honey, and herbs — long before “clean beauty” became a movement. “It's not that skincare is bad,” she reflects. “It's just not made for me.” That realization sparked a philosophy rooted in respect for the skin as a living organ, not a canvas for correction. Her formulations — minimal, potent, and entirely natural — focus on feeding the skin what it recognizes, not overwhelming it with synthetics.Her cult-favorite creation, The Blue Cocoon, captures that essence — a calming blue balm made with blue tansy, designed to soothe inflammation, heal sensitivity, and offer a moment of self-grounding. “It's like a hug for your skin,” May says. “A reminder to slow down and care.”This episode is a meditation on slowing down in a world obsessed with surface perfection. Tune in as May Lindstrom and Dr. Ekta explore how skincare can be both science and soul — an act of self-connection that begins and ends with care.Shop May Lindstrom SkinCHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome0:38 – Defining Sensitive Skin & Root Causes2:22 – Early Experiences & Family Influence5:05 – Discovering Natural Healing Through Clay & Plants7:30 – The Unspoken Truth About Sensitive Skin & Industry Gaps8:12 – Treating Skin as an Organ, Not a Surface12:13 – Ingredients to Avoid & The Power of Simplicity17:47 – Creating with Intention: Ritual Over Trend21:39 – The Blue Cocoon: A Symbol of Healing & Ritual25:02 – Nourishment, Longevity & Final ReflectionsPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Emilie Toups, a mother of five and the founder of Toups & Co. Organics - a skincare and makeup company rooted in ancestral wisdom, nutrient-dense ingredients, and the belief that beauty should never come at the expense of health. What started as a single batch of tallow balm in her farmhouse kitchen has become one of the most trusted names in clean beauty. Emilie opens up about her journey from motherhood to entrepreneurship, how she built Toups & Co. from the ground up, and why she believes our skin understands ingredients from nature far better than synthetic ones. We dive into everything from the truth about "clean beauty" myths to how toxins and microplastics sneak into our everyday routines, plus the simple, practical swaps that can make a huge difference for your skin and hormone health. Emilie is a wealth of knowledge and it was so inspiring to talk and learn from her. This conversation is about slowing down, trusting your body, and remembering that less really can be more.

On this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Julie Williams, founder of Leaf People, to explore the transformative power of plants, herbalism, and plant-based skincare. Julie takes listeners on a journey from her upbringing in rural Alaska—surrounded by wild forests and medicinal plants—to her global studies in botanical medicine, and ultimately to the creation of a skincare line that celebrates the intelligence of plants.Long before “clean beauty” became a buzzword, Julie envisioned formulations that go beyond the usual staples. Leaf People integrates powerful botanicals like reishi, rhodiola, ginkgo, burdock root, and horsetail, capturing the full spectrum of each plant's chemical and energetic properties. Her approach is holistic, emphasizing whole-plant synergy and honoring the subtle energetics of each ingredient through practices like meditation, Reiki, and blessings by Tibetan monks.Julie also shares her philosophy of ally pairing, inspired by how plants naturally grow together in communities, and how this principle shapes her formulations. Beyond skincare, Leaf People reflects a broader vision of connection—between people, plants, and the environment. From farmers markets to direct customer education, Julie builds a brand rooted in respect, sustainability, and shared ecosystem thinking.This episode is an invitation to discover herbalism, explore the untapped potential of botanicals, and understand how intentional, plant-based skincare can nourish not only your skin but also your connection to nature.

"I think one of the biggest things to convey to anybody who wants to start a business is know what you're good at, know what you like, and know what you're not good at, and then outsource that. Because that's going to help get the business to where you wanna go." —Arielle Moody   Ever wonder if you're settling for “good enough” when you could be living—and choosing—so much better? If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the choices you make for your body, your business, or your family, this episode is your permission slip to trust your gut, question the status quo, and demand more from what you put on your skin and into your life. Arielle Moody, a seasoned beauty industry expert and co-founder of Mama Sol, turned her personal quest for safe, effective products into a thriving business that puts wellness and integrity first. Her journey from industry insider to innovative entrepreneur brings a fresh, no-nonsense perspective on why what's inside—both products and people—matters most. Hit play for a candid look at how intentional living, ingredient transparency, self-belief, and values-driven choices shape everything from entrepreneurship and family business to work-life balance, clinical testing, and creating wellness products that truly multitask.   Meet Arielle: While pregnant with her first child, shocked by how many toxic ingredients were lurking in everyday products, and after trying dozens of natural mineral sunscreens, Arielle was determined to create one that 1) didn't make her immediately want to wash her face, and 2) didn't leave a white cast on her skin. Oh, and it needed to be something she looked forward to using daily. No biggie. As Mama Sol's product development whisperer, Arielle has been immersed in the beauty industry her entire adult life. Starting as a beauty sales trainer for Smashbox, Dr. Perricone, and Bite Beauty, then rising to become the head of product development for Skinn Cosmetics and, most recently, the head of sales for a leading cosmetics packaging and formulation company, she's always known one thing—that she would one day create her own product, something truly different that had never been seen before.

Alina Roytberg and Lev Glazman, co-founders of Fresh, built one of the first modern skincare brands rooted in natural ingredients, sensorial experience, and emotional connection—long before “clean beauty” became a trend. In this episode, they share how they turned a personal frustration with conventional products into a business that caught the attention of Barneys, Sephora, and eventually LVMH. We talk about the $10,000 gamble that launched their first store, the soap that flew off shelves without any marketing, and the costly mistake of chasing too many opportunities at once. They also open up about what it was really like being acquired by a luxury giant, maintaining creative control, and why clarity, discipline, and customer trust are still their guiding principles. This is a conversation about growth with intention, learning through missteps, and staying connected to the original spark that started it all. While our last episode officially wrapped Season 5, we couldn't resist sharing this bonus conversation before we take a short break. We'll be back next season—one more story of risk, resilience, and the long game of building something meaningful. Key Takeaways and Topics: The emotional and sensory philosophy behind Fresh's product development Why their soaps sold out at Barneys within days—and what they did next The failed attempt to launch a subbrand (Index) at Bergdorf and the costly lesson in diluted focus Building a brand through education and storytelling—before the internet The early days of clean beauty and why they focused on what's in the product How LVMH acquired Fresh while allowing the founders to retain autonomy and creative control Navigating acquisition and learning how to lead within a global conglomerate   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

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.
