Podcast 256: The countless stories behind the ingredients of your beauty

Have you ever stopped wondering about the story behind their beauty products and ingredients? Most of us do not believe twice when we get a product from the shelf, but what if we did it?

In this episode of Green Beauty talks, Lorraine Dallmeier – Formula Botanica’s biologist and chief executive – explores the endless stories behind the ingredients of your beauty.

Based on last week’s inspirational conversation with Chloé Vallée, Lorraine highlights the impressive contrast between smaller companies and social enterprises such as Primarywho adopt a practical, moral approach-as opposed to the basic beauty industry, which often overlooks the real cost of its supply chain.

Tune in now to hear why transparency and moral supply chains are important and how you can help set new standards for the beauty industry.

“The next time you buy a beauty product, ask where its ingredients come from. Who grew them? What is their story?” – Lorraine Dallmeier

KEYS PRODUCTION:

• The hidden challenges in beauty supply chains: Large beauty brands are often based on mattresses of intermediaries, making it easy to overlook issues such as exploitation or environmental damage. True transparency requires effort, investment and a real desire to create a change.
• A worrying double standard in beauty: While smaller companies determine the bar for sustainability, large companies are often hidden behind marketing campaigns. Real change requires more than words: requires action and accountability.
• How to create moral supply chains: Building a transparent and just system is crucial but critical. Businesses such as Primary Show that it is possible to support growers while ensuring sustainability, even in such a complex industry as the beauty industry.
• Your role as a consumer consumer: Asking for questions like “Who grew up these ingredients?” or “paid fairly?” can cause significant change. The more we question the brands, the more likely they are to prioritize moral and transparent practices.
