Ready to dive into what ACTUALLY goes into building an indie beauty brand with intention? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Alisha Gallagher, co-founder of Mob Beauty, to unpack how she went from working alongside industry icons like Laura Mercier to co-creating a brand that's redefining conscious beauty.
Get ready for a no-BS conversation about what it really takes to build genuine community in beauty (spoiler: it's way more work than most brands want to put in), why pre-made palettes might be played out, and how letting customers into your lab can transform brand loyalty. Plus, Alisha breaks down why being "cleaner than clean" doesn't mean sacrificing performance or fun.
If you're fascinated by the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and authentic community building in beauty, this episode is your backstage pass to understanding how one brand is doing things differently - from biodegradable packaging to community-driven product development.
Whether you're a beauty founder, aspiring entrepreneur, or just someone who loves understanding the "why" behind your favorite products, this conversation will change how you think about conscious beauty and what's possible in the industry.
