“You have to understand your true north and stick to it. This has guided us from day one. For us, it was always the plum.” – Allison Taylor
In this episode with Allison Taylor, you will hear:
- From waste to miracle: How Allison and her sisters became rejected pits from their family farm in a viral skin care product.
- Slow growth, strong base: Because they started with a single product and remained intentionally young for years – a priority in performance, integrity and essential innovation.
- Patent Power Power: Science and strategy behind the exclusive plum -based ingredients such as Plum Superfruit Complex® and Midnight Muir® and how they lift their compositions.
- Family first: What is like running a brand with your siblings and how each sister brings a unique power to the business.
- Sustainability in action: How to regenerate agriculture, solar energy and the water supply system won Le Prunier the title of “Best Sustainable Brand”.
Basics include:
- Purpose over pressure creates constant brands. The founders of Le Prunier did not rush to market market expansion or investor growth. Instead, they remained small and self -funded, focusing on the intentional, high -performance skin based on their own terms. This long-term vision has helped them remain agile, profitable and true to their values-rare in today’s beauty industry.
- Upcycling can cause innovation and identity. What started as a farm by -product became the foundation of the entire Le Prunier skin care line. The Taylor sisters took plum pits intended for the landfill and transformed them into a hero rich in antioxidants and physical properties SPF. This not only created a unique supply of products, but also built -in viability into the brand’s DNA itself.
- Patent -patented ingredients can distinguish you. Instead of using active areas, Le Prunier has invested in the development of its own plum -based clashes. These customized ingredients provide measurable results and helped the brand differentiate into a saturated market. It is a reminder that true innovation often comes from close cooperation with your supply chain – and your history.
- Heritage and innovation can coexist beautifully. Le Prunier combines a century of old agricultural heritage with the science of skin care. The deep relationship of the brothers with the earth and their family history gives the brand authenticity and meaning, while their commitment to research, formulation and clinical trials ensures that each product is future and effective.
- Sustainability must live, not only to be highlighted. From the production of solar power supply and the recycling of water powered by worm to enrich the ground with sheep and cover the crops, Le Prunier does not only talk about viability-the brand is manufactured to every layer of the business. This has won the glossy award for the “best sustainable brand”, but most importantly, it creates a product that customers can really feel good about use.
