Summary

Countless medical professionals told Indie Lee after she was diagnosed with a life threatening brain tumor in 2008 that there was very little that could be done. Doctors felt that the tumor could be environmentally derived and attributed to something as simple as what she was putting on her skin. This was her awakening. After surviving a successful surgery on Earth Day 2009 (yes, really.), she embarked upon a new journey - a clean beauty collection dedicated to inspiring and empowering others to be mindful about what they put on their skin as well as into their body. “When I was given a finite amount of time to live, the world became technicolor - I now appreciate every moment and I feel very fortunate to be creating a platform that will allow others to do the same. Education and empowerment are my driving forces and this line is the medium enabling me to pay my knowledge forward.” -IndieToday, Indie works with some of the world’s leading chemists and formulators who share her vision for the beauty and wellness industry, working to bring the cleanest, most efficacious formulas and products to market. She has spoken about her mission at events such as SXSW and PopSugar Play/Ground. She also serves on the FIDM Beauty Program’s Advisory Council. It is her sincere hope that her awakening creates change and inspires others to make healthier choices--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support Support the show

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to skincare and our feed. This is Efta and wow do I have a guest
0:11.5	for you guys today. This line is everywhere on Instagram, social media. I have been a huge fan
0:17.9	since I first saw it a few years ago and it's so surreal that I get to introduce the founder.
0:22.7	So without further ado, I want to introduce you guys to Indie Lee who is the founder of Indie Lee
0:28.2	Skincare. So welcome to the show. Indie, I'm so glad you're here. I'm so grateful to be here.
0:33.0	Thank you for having me. I'm excited. It's my honor. I would love to get started by talking about
0:39.2	your career and the past and what led to this amazing skincare line. Sure. You know, most people
0:47.9	this point now I didn't start in beauty. My background is actually in finance. I was very blessed
0:52.8	to have an incredible career with HBO, yes, home box office, back when sopranos and sex in the
0:59.8	city were all the rage. And now I've, yes, and now I've aged myself, but I left because I realized
1:08.3	I really didn't love finance anymore and I wanted to spend more time with my children. And
1:14.8	really got back to basics. I have a very large greenhouse in my backyard and was
1:19.2	growing edible flowers and started plants for various different schools. And in 2008,
1:27.1	I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and realized that a lot of my elements that I had had
1:34.3	were autoimmune and couldn't no longer work in the greenhouse or the farm that I kind of put
1:40.0	under production. But in my type A personality, I believe everything happens for a reason and my
1:45.4	sister announced she was pregnant. So I started to make some products for her to unveil at her baby
1:49.4	shower. Never, ever in my wildest dreams. And I think that that would be like the start of something.
1:56.3	Yeah. And despite everybody said, oh my gosh, this is what you do. You should do. And I'm like,
2:00.4	you know, it was 2008. People weren't really thinking about that. They were very interested in
2:06.1	organic food and making, you know, where their food source came from. But they really weren't
2:11.4	thinking about beauty. And I was like, no, there's no way. Clean beauty, you know, natural,
