In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and Dr. Sarah Villafranco discuss:   How to research the space to launch your product   How to honor yourself as an entrepreneur  Lessons from a decade of being an entrepreneur  Guest Info: Dr. Sarah Villafranco spent ten years as an emergency physician. After a decade, she felt frustrated at the lack of emphasis on simple solutions to health issues, like nutrition, exercise, and stress management. After losing her mom to pancreatic cancer at age 64, Sarah took some time off to reevaluate things. She took a class making soap, and fell in love not only with soapmaking, but also with the way her skin felt after using handmade soap. She became obsessed with natural skincare, and locked herself in a room for two years (not really, but almost), studying and teaching herself how to make products. She launched Osmia in 2012 to help people find simple solutions to skin issues like acne, eczema, and dermatitis. After a decade in the industry, Osmia has a stellar reputation for quality, transparency, sustainability, and authenticity in the clean beauty space. Their products help people find healthier, happier skin with meticulously researched and tested formulas, using sustainable ingredients of exceptional quality.

Mason bees in the subgenus Osmia emerged sometime before the ice-age, likely in Europe and Asia, but they radiated into North America early on in their history, resulting in one of the most beloved solitary bees, the blue orchard bee. In this episode, we dive into the evolutionary history of this subgenus.

Cynthia is always talking about toxins in relation to our hormones, livers, and gut microbiome.  Today she speaks with Dr. Sarah Villafranco from Osmia to get clarity on how impure skin care products affect the body and we get some background on the real meaning of the word “toxin!”  Prepare to start reading your labels after this interview! Bio: Dr. Sarah Villafranco spent a decade practicing medicine in the emergency room where she witnessed a broad spectrum of health issues—along with an unsettling trend of resistance to treating the root causes of disease. Not long after Sarah relocated from the East Coast to Carbondale, Colorado, her mother was diagnosed with cancer, and she was gone just over a year later. With two young daughters of her own, Sarah was mourning the loss of her mom, but newly inspired to create a unique and meaningful path in her own life. On a whim, she signed up for a local soap making class.   Almost instantly, she reconnected with her passion for science—the same passion that led her to study medicine. In the weeks and months that followed, Sarah learned more about the chemistry of making natural soap, and became enchanted by the artistry of form, color, and scent that could be woven into the process. As she began to research the ingredients people were using on their skin every single day, a bigger idea took shape.   Sarah founded Osmia with one simple mission: to energize people to engage in their own wellness through skin health and sensory experience. Rather than putting out fires in the emergency department, Sarah now hopes to create sparks of joy that inspire meaningful change. When people experience a gorgeous soap, a velvety body oil, or a nourishing lip balm made with effective, wholesome ingredients, perhaps a tiny seed is planted: I can have a positive, joyful effect on my own wellness, every day.   https://osmiaorganics.com On Instagram at @osmiaorganics

I came across the Osmia Organics (https://www.instagram.com/osmiaorganics/) instagram account right when we moved to Carbondale. The beautiful Instagram page displays the health and vitality of Sarah Villafranco, MD. Fast forward just a couple of months, and we move into our new home situated directly above one of Osmia's places of production.

We could have spent hours traversing so much, but in this conversation we stayed fairly focused on skincare products and healthy skin. Most importantly, Sarah teaches us what to be mindful of as a consumer so that we don't sacrifice the health of our skin or the rest of our body for the sake of looking good or smelling... like chemicals?   Some highlights include... * Sarah's renaissance from emergency room physician to soap maker extraordinaire * Embracing challenges and turmoil to fuel transformation * Key chemicals to avoid that are hiding in "natural" products * Tips for healing skin from the inside out, and the outside in * Essentials for maintaining clear, healthy skin * Embracing aging - because you can't avoid it!   You may also be interested in these skin and beauty episodes..

When an emergency physician decides on a radical shift in life to choose natural skincare as a career over medicine, you begin to realise just how powerful a sector green beauty is becoming. However, as Dr Sarah Villafranco, founder of Osmia organics and our guest in this episode says, while her career change certainly raised some eyebrows back in 2012, it proved a logical move that had parallels with her role as a doctor. As as an emergency physician, I felt I was a fire fighter and I wasn't sure I was helping people prevent disease. I wanted to intervene sooner in people’s health and their daily choices and focus on the important pillars of good health that Western medicine had largely forgotten, such as diet, stress management, joy and fitness. The more medical research I did on effect of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, the more I realised what a big piece of medicine was involved in skincare. Sarah Villafranco launched Osmia Organics as a way to help people not only choose natural skincare, but also as a space to learn about a more holistic approach to health and self care. Osmia's blog and social media offers insights and advice on developing a health-focused, positive-living mindset to generate the conversation on what Sarah says traditional medicine sees as 'alternative' routes to health. Transitioning from a high-stress, emergency physician's role where split-second decisions can be life determining, to running a natural skincare business designed to impact our longer-term health and well-being is quite a leap to make. Sarah Villafranco says it can be scary to follow your dreams but adds that building a natural skincare business isn't about dreaming, but hard realities. "You can’t leave a career that makes money for one that won’t. You need to plan your dreams as it takes time to build a business." Dr Sarah Villafranco has a unique vantage point from which to assess the current shape of the green beauty movement. Her medical background and ability to interpret and filter the science enables her to cut through the scepticism and also the green washing that can surround green beauty. In this wide-ranging interview, Dr Sarah Villafranco gives invaluable advice to budding natural skincare entrepreneurs, from whatever walk of life. In this episode on choosing natural skincare as a career, you'll hear about: Why the natural, organic skincare sector is a rigorous, demanding yet rewarding a career choice for someone from any background; Why the green beauty sector needs more people involved in the industry who are prepared to train, hone their professional skills as formulators and dig deep into the science of skincare to tackle green washing and strengthen the industry as a whole; How becoming a skincare entrepreneur and running a business and a team is not something to be scared of but a role you grow into and make part of your lifelong learning; Why honesty and transparency in your business dealings with everyone from suppliers to customers and staff is paramount to your success; and How being courteous to other business leaders and brands in the naturals' sector and sharing the green space amicably will help your brand and others grow mutually: "A rising tide lifts all boats' should be your motto. Key take-outs include: As a product formulator, you will need the patience and resilience to persevere and to take formulation failures in your stride. See any failure as learning your trade. Think consciously about the environment in all aspects of your business. Realise that there is no such thing as 'eco friendly' but rather prefer to use the term eco conscious. Don't green wash - be prepared to answer consumers, trade and media queries about your products or business honestly and research before you reply. If you don't know something, admit it and say you will find out. Try to enjoy life's sensory moments and the ride that being an entrepreneur brings with it.

We’re talking about great gifts for friends, for your sisters and moms, and for teachers . . . as well as some items you might want to put on your own wishlist. We’ve got recommendations on self-care gifts, cookbooks, candles, and skincare stuff, as well as gifts that give back. Beauty/Self-Care Kosas is one of Sarah’s favorite green beauty brands and their Weightless Lip Color Trio is made from moisturizing ingredients like mango seed butter and jojoba oil. This set of three neutral everyday colors is $58. You can see all of the Kosas lip colors on Sarah here. AHAVA’s Purifying Mud Mask is made of real mud from the Dead Sea, the most mineral-rich mud on earth. It detoxifies but also makes skin softer, and it’s great for all skin types. It’s also free from parabens, petroleum, animal-sourced ingredients, mineral oil, SLS/SLES, and phlathates. Osmia makes incredible handmade soaps and their Simple Gift set for just $28 includes their best-selling Lip Doctor, your choice of one of their handcrafted soaps in fun scents like Lavender Pine or Citrus Pearl, and a soap saver to keep your soap from getting gummy.  It’s. a great “gateway” gift for someone who’s trying to use fewer chemicals. SheaMoisture’s Coconut & Hibiscus Hand/Body Scrub smells like a dream, makes your skin super soft, and is made of all-natural ingredients. At only $9 a jar, it’s a great teacher gift or stocking stuffer. MUN’s Travel Set is a great way to try the full line of this organic, 100% natural beauty line for $75. If you are wanting to change up your skincare to something clean and luxurious this is a perfect introduction. It comes with a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, body serum, and argan oil. A jade roller is a great item for encouraging the relaxing self-care routine of facial rolling. It feels luxurious but Amazon’s $16 real jade version, which includes a gua sha scraping tool, doesn’t break the bank.   Personalized A Personalized Address Stamp is a great, practical gift for just about anyone. Amazon has cute fonts and designs for around $30. Make someone a surprise photo book by downloading their facebook or instagram photos and creating a book for them on Shutterfly (photobooks are currently 50% off.) You can use a chrome extension like DownAlbum to stealthily grab photos from the social accounts of loved ones to make sure it’s a surprise.       Home Capri Blue candles in Volcano scent poured into Mercury glass $19-40 Bisby Holiday Candles are hand-poured in Oklahoma with natural soy wax, chemical-free fragrance oil, and recyclable packaging. The new holiday line is only $12 per candle.   Cookbooks Danielle Walker’s Eat What You Love: : Everyday Comfort Food You Crave; Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Paleo Recipes comes out on December 4th, and is full of practical, healthy recipes. Dinner: Changing the Game by Melissa Clark is a great cookbook for one-pot, one-tray meals. So many good chicken recipes plus stews and salads. Sarah’s favorites are Sesame chicken with Cashews and Dates, Paprika Chicken with Crispy chickpeas and Baby Kale, and Spicy Pork and Black Bean Chili with Sage and White Cheddar. The True Foods cookbook by Andrew Weill features some of the best healthy recipes from the True Foods restaurant. We are both fans of the spaghetti squash casserole and the roasted fennel and sausage soup.     Coffee Table Books Beaches The Finer Things Bad Girls Throughout History: 100 Remarkable Women Who Changed The World   Gifts that give back The ABLE phrase necklace can be customized with any 2-3 words (mama bird, it is well, let it be, etc). It’s a great modern necklace with clean lines and a beautiful sentimental gift for $52. Krochet Kids woven wall hangings ($50) are a great statement piece for any decor. They are made in Uganda by at-risk women who are trained and employed in Krochet Kids’ empowering program to help women fi...

Listen in to learn more about what drew Lila to Osmia lignaria, and how she is finding the effect of these bees on their landscape, and vice versa. "[Osmia] are really easy to work with, they're easy to buy, which is rare for a native bee source, and they're really easy systems to put in different places, so it was almost easier [for me to get into] than bumblebees." - Lila Westreich.

On this episode of The Green Universe we speak to three green brand formulators and founders about the challenges they face formulating some of your favorite beauty products. We speak with Suzanne LeRoux of One Love Organics about the importance of preservatives (including phenoxyethanol), Pedro Catala of Twelve Beauty about understanding the science of natural ingredients and monitoring safety control and creating high quality products that solve problems with Dr. Sarah Villafranco of Osmia. Each founder shares their fondness for ingredients with integrity and their connection with specific ones. It's an illuminating and frank episode we hope you enjoy.

Solitary bees build their nests in some interesting places, but none more so than Osmia bicolor, a mason bee that's preferred real estate is the empty shells of snails. Emerging in spring a few weeks after the males, the mated female spends two days lining and provisioning the shell before laying her eggs and sealing the shell. But she's not finished yet. Perhaps to prevent hungry predators in search of its original slimy occupant from destroying her nest, the snail bee hides the shell under a wigwam of twigs and sticks. Join presenter Trai Anfield and naturalist John Walters as they look for this pioneering little bee on the chalk hillsides above Cerne Abbas.
