Summary
Kim van Haaster quite literally met a man in Ibiza and fell in love. Their happy ending resulted in Kim getting access to a bounty of family-owned tulip fields, which are the key ingredient in her skincare brand Bloomeffects. We join Kim at the incredible fields in Amsterdam for this week’s episode to explain why the tulip is so special, how the brand upcycles the flower for their products, the ingredients within them that helped calm her eczema (and get her off steroids), her family lineage in the beauty industry, and the short window she has to bring select editors and influencers — including us! — to The Netherlands each year. Plus, she shares details on the Black Tulip Regenerative Brightening Serum that 250 of our listeners tested for four weeks ahead of its launch last month and reveals two additional products you can expect from the brand in June.

| 0:05.6 | Hi, Kirby. Hi, Sarah. |
| 0:08.4 | Welcome to Los Angeles. |
| 0:14.1 | If you are listening to this episode, I would highly encourage you to go onto YouTube and watch it because if you are watching it, |
| 0:22.3 | you can see we are not in Los Angeles. |
| 0:24.8 | We are currently in the middle of a beautiful tulip field in Amsterdam, or should I say, |
| 0:31.1 | in the Netherlands, in Holland. |
| 0:33.2 | And that is thanks to our friends at Bloom Effects for bringing Kirby and I here, for bringing |
| 0:38.7 | Los Angeles to Amsterdam. And thank you especially to you, Kim Van Haster, the founder of |
| 0:45.2 | Bloom Effects for inviting us here. This is literally such a dream come true. Of course. It's |
| 0:49.8 | our honor. And thank you for having me on the podcast. Of course. So we've been here what feels like a |
| 0:55.8 | lifetime at this point. But we've gotten to experience the tulip fields. We've gotten to spend a lot of |
| 1:01.8 | time with Kim and learn more about this brand, which started in 2019, same age as Los Angeles, |
| 1:09.0 | essentially, six years in the making. |
| 1:12.0 | And Bloom Effects, if you are not familiar with their brand, you're going to learn a lot more about it. |
| 1:16.7 | But every year they do this beautiful pilgrimage. |
| 1:20.1 | I mean, Kim doesn't have to go anywhere because she lives here. |
| 1:22.3 | But it brings in influencers, editors to these gorgeous tulip fields to learn more about utilizing tulips |
