Act+Acre's husband-and-wife founders were early to the growth of the scalp-care market when they launched their brand in 2019 with one product: a $48 prewash treatment called Scalp Detox Oil. “[Scalp care] was definitely an afterthought for people [a few years ago],” brand founder and hairstylist Helen Reavey told Glossy. “Launching it in 2019, we were one of the first to solely think about scalp care the way skin care had come up and was so personalized, and we took that approach. It's not a one-size-fits-all for the scalp.” Reavey has seen the effects of poor scalp care throughout her 15-year career as a celebrity and editorial hairstylist — most notably during fashion month, when models' hair is routinely overworked backstage until their scalps become sensitive to the touch. “I had that moment where I was like, ‘I wish I could give them something to remove everything and to really start with a fresh canvas,'" she said. “It was that moment [where we said], ‘OK, we should do this; we should launch a brand.'” Reavey is also a certified trichologist, a specialization focused on the treatment and health of the hair and scalp. She launched Act+Acre with husband and business partner Colm Mackin, who now serves as CEO. Now an award-winning hero product for the brand, Scalp Detox is one of 25 products sold individually and through 10 curated systems made up of individual SKUs. From oil control to hydration to hair growth, they're each designed for a specific concern. To help consumers navigate the offerings, Act+Acre publishes blog posts and educational content on social media, and offers a 10-plus question quiz on its site to match a consumer with the right products. Top selling systems include its Stem Cell System, Thick + Full System and Essential Hydration System. Meanwhile, individual bestsellers include Stem Cell Serum for $86 and Daily Hydro Scalp Serum for $24. The line is sold DTC and through Sephora, Revolve, Bluemercury, Amazon, Dermstore, Anthropologie and TikTok Shop, among other channels. The brand does 60% of its business DTC and has a 50% subscription rate within that cohort, Mackin told Glossy. Several products are also recognized by the National Psoriasis Foundation for being safe for those with psoriasis. “People are definitely starting to understand that the scalp is a foundation for healthy hair, and that comes across in all of our messaging,” Reavey told Glossy. Act+Acre's latest launch, a two-step shampoo and treatment, is focused on hard water buildup, which impacts the majority of U.S. consumers. High levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium in tap water can build up in the hair and cause brittleness and discoloration, especially on color-treated hair. “I don't think people were really understanding that hard water was this silent destructor,” Reavey told Glossy. The brand's Clarifying Hard Water Shampoo sells for $32, while the Clarifying Hard Water Scalp Treatment goes for $38. In this week's episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast, Reavey and Mackin share insider details on these topics. The duo also discusses the ways they stand out in the market, including through community building, education and customer service.
We're like the marriage that cried wolf. At this point, whatever we say we're going to do, just expect the opposite, okay? We have a lot to catch up on, and once again, we've had continued technical difficulties that kept us from recording last month. But it's good to be back in our living room with you all.We're spring breakin' all the rules! We've got a hysterectomy hysteria update, and Danielle's got sourdough everywhere. The kids are complaining nonstop, and we've got plenty to talk about. We didn't even make it halfway through Mackin's list of topics, but we had to squeeze in Mackin's rankings before Danielle faded off to sleep.We're glad to be back, and we have fewer excuses in the near future to bring you more episodes. We can't wait to do exactly that. Hopefully… We love you all so much—especially you OGs for dealing with our shit. But also, welcome to the new listeners. Stick around; we might surprise you.

Show Notes:Holly's Links:Holly's profile on The Mountain Guideshttps://www.instagram.com/hollyismackin/Episode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, happy Wednesday! This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today, our guest is Holly Mackin. When Holly was little, no one would have ever assumed she'd find her pursuits in the outdoors. Mostly scared of bugs and raised within the traditions of Catholic culture, it seemed highly unlikely she'd commit to a life living in and out of a van or tent. Something changed in high school when she needed an escape from the drama of her peers. She started running outdoors and practicing yoga religiously. She found herself going on mission trips abroad, which gave her more purpose.When she decided to go to college at the University of Colorado Boulder, she was exposed to backcountry skiing and climbing. Already a runner, she scheduled her classes around soloing the Flatirons so she could take her practice to more interesting places. Throughout college, she spent summers in Grand Teton National Park, where she later planted roots as a mountain guide.Her passion for rock climbing takes her to the Southwest every spring and fall, frequenting areas like Indian Creek, Red Rock Canyon, and Joshua Tree. In the winter, Holly is usually found in the Tetons, hunting for untouched powder and teaching snow science. She coordinates all women's backcountry skiing and climbing programs for The Mountain Guides under the Women's Network. This program also works to support newer women guides on their journey to becoming mountain guides.Holly followed her heart to become a guide, cherishes the connections she builds with her clients and fellow guides, and has big dreams to make an impact. Now, please enjoy this episode with Holly Mackin.Things We Talked about:From Kentucky to Colorado, following the love of skiingEnvironmental Anthropology and skiing brought Holly to Jackson WyomingInception of guiding and it all started at a juiceryIn college, Holly maximized her time being on the ski slopes and rock cliffsGot an internship at The Mountain Guides doing all sorts of chores and volunteering to shadow trips to get outdoorsRight now at Teton Valley guiding skiing and teaching avalanche coursesFeeling closer to her environmental goals guidingHolly's environmental takes and views and how she uses conversations to remind people that we are part of natureHolly loves being outside and human connectionsWomen's Programs with The Mountain Guides – guides development and clients long term progressionOutlook on guidingBeyond guiding, Holly wants to be an entrepreneur

By uncovering what matters most to each individual, both leaders and team members can co-create a healthy culture where everyone feels seen and supported. Kelly also shares how leaders can begin taking small but meaningful steps to create a more personalized approach to work-life harmony.

We're finally back recording at home after a little break, and we have a lot to catch up on. It's been a while, and we had a few episodes recorded that never aired thanks to technical difficulties (who knew we'd have this many issues with microphones?). We're hoping this one makes up for all that lost time.Mackin has rules for sending people videos, and etiquette that he thinks we all should abide by. Also, our kids have been soo much lately! Sick, busy, hungry, they're always talking! That's all we do, is talk! We did go to a White Party and talk about what it was like for Mackin to see naked girls covered in sushi. We discuss parallel parking in public, Fine Art or Anxious Activity. And of course, we cap things off with Mackin's Child of the Week Rankings. Spoiler alert: Leo is still #4.It's good to be back and in our kitchen cooking up an episode. We love you all and thank you for listening.
We're all familiar with change. Our schedules change. Projects change. The world changes. It's the only constant, as they say. And so, we learn how to adapt to new landscapes, adjusting our plans and executing accordingly. But transforming something and making real progress – that's another beast altogether. It's about moving from who you are to who you want to be. About reinventing a business for the future. Or shaping a project that will impact lives for years to come. Making progress involves risk. Trying new things. Stepping outside of your comfort zone. All while making sure it's ultimately helping society and business move forward. It starts from a vision, but the road to get there is often winding and unexpected. So, what can we learn from those who've been there and done it? We're joined in this episode by Mark Wild, CEO of HS2, and Lorraine Mackin, UK Lead Partner for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Government, to ask: What's the difference between change and transformation? Tune in to find out: Why Mark doesn't like “the T word” The biggest transformation project facing the world The vision behind some of society's biggest transformations What Mark's learnt from managing high-profile and large-scale transformation projects Enjoyed this episode?

We also discuss the quest to find a family with kids the same ages as ours to make Mackin feel like he's not alone, and we wrap with our “Child of the Summer Rankings.” We have a couple more episodes this season before we take a break to take care of some personal stuff but we're excited and we can't thank you all enough for listening!
