In this episode, Kat is chatting with Raana Kashani Gregg, founder of Lunaescent, about her sustainable skincare tool and the journey behind creating it. Raana shares the personal story of how treating her son’s eczema sparked the idea for Lunaescent and led her down a path of innovating to address the limitations of traditional skincare tools like gua sha and jade rollers. With a focus on hygiene, sustainability, and improving the skincare routine experience, Raana discusses how the tool’s unique design offers a long lasting & efficient way to make your skincare products work harder and last longer. The conversation also touches on the importance of transparency, ethical sourcing, and the role of women entrepreneurs in fostering conscious, community-driven & sustainable businesses.

Takeaway

• How Raana discovered a better way to apply skincare - from expensive serums to medicated creams - improving on the design and function of traditional beauty tools.

• The importance of ethical sourcing, manufacturing, and designing products to last

• How women entrepreneurs often take a holistic approach to business, emphasizing community, sustainability, and ethical sourcing.

• The problem with typical skincare applicators and crystal gua shas

• Raana’s take on sustainable skincare & how to make your skincare last longer

"I thought being a professional makeup artist, beauty expert and high end beauty connoisseur was safe, until I was physically sick. Numerous hospital visits resulted in a detox and "cleanse" of fragrant household products. A massive shift in my health sparked a viral video that I shared. Here I share my passion, knowledge and thirst for high preforming, safe products with you, too." —— Learn more, connect and enjoy my favorites mentioned: https://bio.site/Cassandramcclure Order a custom Clean Beauty Kit: cleanbeautykit.com Official website: CassandraMcClure.com wear lashes? this is for you: LashBinder.com code: CLEANBEAUTYPODCAST for $5 off your entire order + free shipping anywhere in the US!

 Bio: Brenda Mierzejewski is the founder and CEO of Mizzi Cosmetics. Affectionately known as the "Lip Lady," Brenda puts her passion for natural beauty products and knowledge of pharmaceutical supply chain together in this indie brand. She is the visionary that created their signature LipLuxe product line (artisan lip balms and lip scrub). Realizing that most of the lip balms on the market were toxic, Brenda made a commitment to using all-natural ingredients and healing essential oils. LipLuxe products are naturally made, with safe, non-toxic ingredients and no petroleum. Brenda’s dream of changing the landscape for lip care became a reality in 2015, when LipLuxe was discovered and organically endorsed by celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Kate Hudson. This helped to propel Mizzi Cosmetics to the next level. Mizzi Cosmetics believes in helping people slow down and focus on self-care, starting each day with healthy beautiful lips, powered by LipLuxe.  Before her role as CEO of Mizzi Cosmetics, Brenda's skills and experience included leveraging material purchasing, planning, production, and supply ordering. A wiz at managing inventory control in fast-paced, large-scale warehouse environments, she was able to achieve maximum performance through operation refinement, process efficiency and improvement. What Brenda has to say in her 5 star review of the Clean Beauty Podcast: "Important topics and very easy to listen to. It's a great way to get information and recommendations on current, trending clean beauty companies and products."  Mizzi company mission : A sophisticated, understated, luxurious, down to earth, natural brand to help you embrace your own beauty and boost self confidence by adding a healthy, beautiful shine to your lips. Never settle for feeling anything less than beautiful, always look beneath the surface, don't conform to norms and expectations, create your own definition of what beauty is. Be your own beautiful. The Mizzi Guarantee: Never any petroleum, no chemicals, no toxins, no sulphates, no parabens, no artificial flavors or scents, no animal by products (maybe the occasional beeswax or wild honey) and never animal testing, not ever. What does Mizzi support ?: "A variety of organizations with missions near and dear to our heart: The American Heart Association and Lily's Kids Inc. in honor of my son, Brady, who was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Defect and received open heart surgery at six months old, and in support to heart disease awareness. Smilow Cancer Center at Yale New Haven in honor of my sister and mother, both breast cancer survivors and in support of breast cancer awareness and prevention. The Jordan Porco Foundation in support of mental health awareness and suicide prevention. The Brain Injury Association of America in honor of our chemist, Elizabeth Dickerson and in support of research and awareness of brain injuries. Plus, many local charities, organizations, and fundraisers."   Podcast sponsored by: http://lashbinder.com More information: http://cassandramcclure.com

Meet a mother who’s skincare company Naturally Tribal Skincare was born from personal experience. In 2014, Shalom Lloyd was blessed with the birth of her twins. Her boy, Joshua had miserable eczema - scratch ‘till you bleed’ irritation and she couldn’t bear the idea of smothering his sensitive new skin with chemical emollients and steroids. As a qualified pharmacist, Shalom understands the enormous value of medical treatments; however, our skin is a huge exchange organ which absorbs a lot of what we put on it. So, when you think about it, what we put on ourselves, and our family’s skin, should be just as important as what we eat. She looked to her African heritage for inspiration, recalling recipes containing all-natural ingredients, which has been used in Africa for generations. Shalom started to experiment in her kitchen, using high-quality Shea Butter as the main base, stumbled across the right formulation and within three days of application, Joshua’s skin cleared! Shalom Lloyd Bio: Shalom Lloyd is a mother of five, a pharmacist by qualification, an experience global leader in the pharmaceutical industry and the Founder of Naturally Tribal Skincare - a natural, vegan, ethically sourced, African-Heritage and synthetic chemical free skincare range that uses only Mother Nature’s gifts to create a range innovative, enriching and nurturing skincare products for the whole family. Naturally Tribal imports personally selected natural ingredients from Africa for research, testing, formulation and manufacture in the United Kingdom (UK) whilst empowering Africa women in the process. Shalom is an award-winning entrepreneur, a TEDx speaker and a CommonWealth First Export Champion   Watch my unboxing of Naturally Tribal Skincare products: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUJNOinXpfg https://youtu.be/Gs13BsSVI54 —— Learn more, connect and enjoy my favorites mentioned: https://bio.site/Cassandramcclure Order a custom Clean Beauty Kit: cleanbeautykit.com Official website: CassandraMcClure.com wear lashes? this is for you: LashBinder.com code: CLEANBEAUTYPODCAST for $5 off your entire order + free shipping anywhere in the US!
