Slow It Down
Brianne West - From Humble Christchurch Beginnings to Britney Spears Endorsements
11 Aug 2022
Brianne West is a British-born environmentalist, social entrepreneur, and founder of regenerative lifestyle and beauty brand, Ethique. The brand produces a range of solid beauty bars - from shampoo and conditioner to facial cleansers and moisturisers, body butters and deodorants - which are vegan, cruelty-free, palm oil-free, plastic-free, made with directly traded ingredients and packaged in home-compostable materials. West founded the brand ten years ago with the aim of creating a business that would address environmental issues - namely the plastic pollution. Now in its tenth year, the bars are still beloved by environmentally conscious customers around the world, garnering more than 25,000 five-star reviews. Ethique is now distributed via 4,000 retailers in over 24 countries around the globe and is valued in excess of $100 million. Not to mention the brand has had casual shout outs by Britney Spears and Ashton Kutcher! We talk being bold with her vision early on, dealing with naysayers, how to spot genuine green businesses AND although overwhelming at times, how we CAN make a difference on this planet. Hope you enjoy my chat with this bubbly powerhouse! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
