Once you’re up, what does the rest of your day look like?
Every day is different! Not only am I the CEO and founder, but I’m also the product formulator, so I’m always working on product innovation and formulations. On top of that, I’m a mum to four kids and an animal mum to two dogs and a parrot so, needless to say, every day comes with its own beautiful craziness!
We’ve got to know – what does your current night-time routine look like?
I definitely switch it up depending on what we’re making, but my core routine is pretty consistent. At night I’ll use Ceramic Slip to cleanse, then A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum; sometimes double retinol with Luna Sleeping Night Oil. If I’m tired, I mix them, but if I’m not tired, I’ll layer them. I might apply some Good Genes Lactic Acid, too (if I haven’t used it in the morning), and do something else like maybe listen to an audio book for a minute. Then I add my CEO 15% Brightening Serum. I use that twice a day, morning and night, followed by moisturiser. And I always wake up at least once in the middle of the night, which is when I’ll apply another layer of CEO 15% Brightening Serum and our Ice Ceramide Moisturising Cream.
What does the definition “clean beauty’” mean to you and how is that represented in your product?
Clean to me is ensuring our ingredients are of the highest possible quality as well as the highest possible ethical standards. I always make sure we’re using the absolute best suppliers, giving back to the community and [focusing on] sustainability. The brand recently became B Corp Certified (this measures a company’s social and environmental performance).
Why was it so important to achieve this? It was important to me that we continually evolve and make conscious efforts to use business as a force of good, influencing positive change wherever we have a corporate presence. B Corp is a leader in corporate responsibility, sustainability and brand ethics. Partnering with B Corp to make sure that our practices aligned with our values was a natural fit.
