The Thriving Beyond Belief podcast this week featuring:@tcofoley Tara’s Clean Beginnings I started my clean beauty journey over 10 years ago after realizing that my “healthy” lifestyle had a huge blind spot: I was exercising and eating clean, but I had no idea what I was putting on my body. That’s when I discovered all the toxins hiding inside my beauty products. I started a blog to share information and received an inspiring response from so many women with the same concerns. We deserved answers—and products that worked without putting our health (or the planet) at risk. Soon I left my corporate job and immersed myself in the world of clean beauty. I hunted down the best products, continued researching and writing about everything from ingredients to regulation, began building relationships with brands and activists, and even moved to France to work on an organic lavender farm. But clean beauty still felt like a secret, and I wanted to help share it. That’s when I started dreaming up the idea of a store where I could educate and introduce people to the safest, most effective, and luxurious non-toxic products. Follain opened in 2013 as the first of our kind: the first retailer to sell clean beauty exclusively. Years later, I’m no less amazed by the power of clean ingredients, and I love that I get to share them with you!

In this episode we talk clean beauty with the founder of Follain, Tara Foley. Tara, a self-described “activist-at-heart” shares with us her journey from discovering clean beauty to opening Follain. We dive deep on what clean really means and the regulation around the terms natural and clean (spoiler: there is none). She also gives us her top ingredients to watch out for. Our favorite part of the episode, though, has to be Tara’s amazing product recs. We chat about everything from budget-friendly to high-tech clean beauty recs and she gives us specific suggestions for both dry skin and acne-prone skin routines. If you’re thinking about using more clean products, Tara makes that sound a whole lot less daunting and this episode is the perfect place to start!   More Tara: Follain stores and Follain.com Products are also sold at Anthropologie & Ulta Instagram: @tcofoley   Products mentioned: Follain Refillable Everything Soap Reverie hair products (specifically the hair milk & heat protectant) Innersense hair bath Rahua hair line (also has a purple shampoo) Fekkai - The One hair line - new clean reformulation Weleda skin food Cheap clean brands: Burt’s Bees, Seaweed Bath Co Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask Clark’s Botanicals Deep Moisture Mask Sleeping masks: Josh Rosebrooks Advance Hydration Mask For dry skin: Vital Balm Cream For acne-prone skin cleansers: Osmia black clay soap, Indie Lee Purifying Face Wash For acne-prone skin moisturizers: Indie Lee Squalane Oil, Osmia Balance Facial Serum, Ursa Major Fortifying Face Balm Saie Dew Balm Saie Super Gel Glossier Lash Slick RMS Buriti Bronzer RMS Un Cover-up Ilia Lipstick - Color: Crimson & Clover Josh Rosebrooks Hydrating Accelerator One Love Organics Vitamin C Serum Biossance Squalane & Lactic Acid Night Serum Biossance Squalane & Peptide Eye Gel Ole Henricksen Banana Bright Eye Cream Naturopathica Vitamin K Eye Gel Patyka Energizing Eye Gel (rollerball) May Lindstrom The Blue Cocoon May Lindstrom The Youth Dew Josh Rosebrooks Vital Balm Cream Vapor Foundation Ilia Sheer Tinted Moisturizer Beautycounter Dew Skin (w/ SPF) Kosas Lipstick: Color Rosewater Lovefresh Super Strength Deodorant   Obsessions: Crate and Barrel Plates and Platter Saie Dew Balm Saie Super Gel   Instagram: @somewherelately   Books: Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wroble This is Big by Marisa Meltzer (out in april) The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel   March Book Club Book: I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson   Sponsors: HelloFresh: Get 10 free meals at hellofresh.com/BOP10 and use code BOP10.

Today I sit down with Tara Foley, founder of the first clean beauty retailer, Follain. Tara and I explore the nuances and misconceptions of "clean beauty" and why so many of us find ourselves confused and overwhelmed when it comes to making a better choice for our health.We also dive into what it means to be an entrepreneur and mother, why a business oftentimes feels like having another child, and how our own mothers influenced the paths we both took in our careers.I hope you enjoy this episode with Tara Foley! 

When CEO and Founder of Follain, Tara Foley, first became concerned with wellness, she focused on the things that get the most attention: food, exercise, mindfulness. But before long, another aspect of wellness, one that wasn't getting any attention at all, began to capture her attention: clean beauty. As she became more aware of the harmful ingredients in conventional skincare products, and the lack of any conversation around it, she realized that there was a huge hole in the non-toxic skincare space. She was passionate about the topic, and so made it her mission to fill that hole, and ultimately became founder and CEO of Follain, which vets (and formulates) non-toxic makeup brands and non-toxic skincare products. Listen to this episode to learn about: The most toxic things to look for on the ingredient lists of your skincare and makeup products Hear about what she thinks clean brands can learn from Estée Lauder The one product that she recommends those just getting started with clean beauty swap out first Why makeup is just like food What's happening in terms of clean beauty policy and regulations Her personal beauty routine Much more!

You eat well, make time for working out in the midst of your busy schedule, and even manage to squeeze in some self-care on the weekend. But, do you think about what you’re putting on your body day in and day out? Clean beauty advocate and founder of Follain, Tara Foley, believes that safe personal care products are just as important as the food we eat, and a cleaner skincare routine can actually be simple and stress-free.   In this episode, Tara shares how she began her journey into clean cosmetics when she realized that her attention to diet and exercise weren’t mirrored in her beauty products. Understanding that our cosmetics are absorbed into our bloodstream and bodies, Tara became passionate about fighting for better regulation in the highly unregulated beauty industry.   Now, after years of empowering people to discover products that won't compromise their health for beauty, Tara explains how to start your transition to non-toxic cosmetics, ways to make your skincare habits a form of self-care, why choosing safe sunscreen is imperative, trends in clean beauty, what products are safest for children, and more!   Tune in and let Tara inspire you to create an experience with your clean beauty routine that is just as nourishing as the most nutrient-dense superfood salad!   Resources: Episode Show Notes Tara’s Website: follain.com - Use code “elisem15” for 15% off your whole order Elise’s Website: elisemuseles.com Follow Elise on Instagram: @kaleandchocolate

To everyone who was able to stop by our event at the Follain storefront in Beacon Hill, THANK YOU! For anyone who didn’t make it…good news! We have the live recording here for you to listen. Tara is someone who we look up to SO much as we build this podcast and make decisions for growth. If you listened to the first episode featuring Tara, we covered some new and different topics in this one. We talked about… ->You gotta do the work and make the connections. Set up coffee meetings to learn more what other people do. ->It’s OK as an entrepreneur to have a safety net (a job that pays the bills, etc.) taking CALCULATED risks is what pays off big time. -> Fundraising is getting BETTER (slowly) for women. Tara had to answer a lot of questions about having kids when she was raising money for @follain...which def wouldn’t have happened if she was a dude. -> Follain’s own line is amazing and expanding! We loveeee the essential oils for our diffuser. -> It’s our responsibility to figure out how to distill wellness to other non-coast areas, everyone deserves access to this information! -> Her non-negotiable products…like the Follain hand soap that she brings with her everywhere! This was honestly a lightbulb moment…a lot of the products available to us at work aren’t clean or nontoxic. We also had some INCREDIBLE questions, so stay tuned to hear those and Tara’s answers! We hope you enjoyed and would love to hear what you thought. We are so proud and excited about this episode and are so excited to hear what you think.

OMG, it’s EPISODE #50!!!! How crazy is that?? Today we have the founders of BusyBeauty on the pod — Jamie Steenbakkers & Michael Leahy. Alison (their marketing manager) also tagged along which made this recording a record for how many people participated! BusyBeauty is a wonderful brand for women on the go (which makes so much sense for our listeners!). After meeting in college, Jamie and Michael set out to solve the problem of long and involved beauty routines (and also shaving your legs in a dorm room). They created a waterless shave gel first and have since expanded their line to include wipes and showerless shampoo. Jamie is a beauty protege — the next generation inventor, the eye for design, the creator and the visionary. While Michael is a hustler — an expert at supply chain optimization, growth hacker, people, and cash flow manager. The team is based locally in Boston, and we get into some great topics like how to manage your finances starting out as an entrepreneur, their biggest struggles, and their biggest successes. Find BusyBeauty HERE and on Instagram HERE. Seriously, can’t wait for you guys to hear this one and what our reading told us about the podcast moving forward (spoiler alert - we’re super inspired!) We are so proud and excited about this episode and are so excited to hear what you think - let’s start normalizing these conversations together.

Thousands of chemicals used in beauty products, a $70 billion a year industry, are governed by federal regulations that haven’t been updated in decades. The laws that govern the FDA's authority over the cosmetics industry are just two pages long and have not been updated since 1938, when they were first enacted.  Such meager tools leave federal officials nearly powerless to regulate the makeup, lotions, toothpastes, deodorants and other elixirs that often are applied to the most intimate parts of the human body.

Back in 2009, Tara Foley was writing a blog focused on finding and sharing clean beauty alternatives. Today, with multiple retail locations popping up across the country and an ecommerce site, she’s the founder, leader, and visionary of Follain, a healthy beauty retail alternative, where she aims to create a clean and green Sephora. In our conversation, Tara walks me through every step of the process from foregoing law school to spending four months working on a lavender farm and France. We talk about… Taking a business idea from blog to national retailer Balancing education and a retail as Follain educates consumers on clean beauty How she strategically built and tested a foundation for Follain before launching The role mentors have played in her journey Her piece of advice for anyone just starting out What she learned from her first pilot store Testing different business models early on to learn and grow The challenges of leading + managing a team of experts with knowledge that surpasses yours   WHO IS TARA FOLEY? Back in 2009, Tara was on a completely different career path (law!), working long hours, and trying to stay healthy. It occurred to her that she focused on fitness and healthy eating - but not what she put on her face and body. So she started asking questions and launched a blog focused on finding clean options. The response showed her how many of us wanted to understand what we’re putting on ourselves and where to find effective, luxurious, nontoxic options. When the concept won a national retail business plan competition during her MBA program at Babson, she knew she was onto something! After years of hands-in-the-dirt learning both on a lavender farm in France and with a private label beauty company, she founded Follain in 2013 because she believed and still do that no one should have to sacrifice health for beauty. With degrees in public policy and business, Tara's vision, passion, and activism fuel Follain’s growth, and its mission of improving the health and lives of others. Tara Foley launched Follain in July 2013, as the healthy beauty retail alternative, and a catalyst for cleaning up the U.S. beauty industry. Before Follain, Tara researched safe and sustainable skincare, apprenticing on an organic lavender farm in France, and with a private label skin care company in Maine. With degrees in public policy and business, Tara's vision, passion, and activism fuel Follain’s growth, and its mission of improving the health and lives of others.   LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: www.follain.com Clean Beauty 101, Follain’s online mag Episode 197
