As the beauty industry continues to embrace ingredients like turmeric, ashwagandha, and amla, the history of Southeast Asian beauty as a whole must be recognized and appreciated. This is one of the many reasons why I was so happy to speak with Ranavat’s Michelle Ranavat, who sat down to discuss her unlikely path to becoming Sephora’s very first Southeast Asian beauty brand founder. Tune in as she also shares her experience as the daughter of immigrants, her journey to embracing cultural beauty rituals such hair oiling, the magic of saffron, navigating her battle with postpartum shedding and so much more. Enjoy!
