Welcome to Commune, where each week we explore the ideas and practices that bring us together

and help us live healthy and purpose-filled lives. I'm your host, Jeff Krasno. What exactly is clean beauty? Though many companies look

to sell you on their all-natural or organic products, did you know that within the cosmetics

industry, there is no regulated formal definition for those terms? Just turn the bottle over,

and you might find yourself back in chemistry class,

except you're putting these chemicals on your skin and into your body, where honestly they have

no business being. And to make matters worse, even seemingly innocuous terms like fragrance

can hide hundreds of toxic synthetic ingredients. Lucky for us, Joy Reese and Luke Getty,

founders of Skinny & Co, are here to shine some light into these murky waters. They started Skinny

and Co. after Luke traveled to Southeast Asia and discovered what true coconut oil is capable of.

Now they make beauty products with five or fewer simple ingredients that are

clean enough to eat because what you put on your body not only seeps into your bloodstream,

but it also runs off into our soil and groundwater. If you like this podcast, I would also

encourage you to check out our newest course, Clean Beauty, where Joy pairs up with wellness expert

Sophie Jaffe to demystify your self-care routine from top to bottom. The course is going to be

available for free from August 5th through August 14th. Just go to Onecommon.com to sign up. And with that,

I'm Jeff Krasno and welcome to Kamiya.

I am Joy Reese and I am a co-founder of Skinny & Company. We started it in our family living room

about five years ago with 10 jars of coconut oil,

not having any idea what to do with that.

And so that's kind of how we got here.

And I'm Luke Getty and I'm also co-founder as well.
