Summary
In this episode I'm joined by Natassia Nicolao, or Tass she is known to her friends. She is one of the most exciting and forward-facing beauty entrepreneurs at the helm of a brand today. The brand is Conserving Beauty and it has already gone viral in Australia where the patented technology allowed them to create the world’s first fully dissolvable and compostable cleansing mask and wipe.
If you’re jaded by all the greenwashing and tokenistic efforts brands say they are making then Conserving Beauty might be the brand you need to hear about. It’s the only beauty brand to be backed by Impact Funds and is lead by an all-female board including Elle MacPherson.
