About this episode

On today’s episode I am speaking with the founder of Kosas Cosmetics, Sheena Zadeh-Daly. From launching just lip sticks to now selling an entire product line in major retail stores such as Sephora, Nordstrom, & more – Sheena talks about the beginning stages of Kosas, the motive behind the brand, and her definition of clean beauty. We discuss the importance of creating brand association, taking consumer feedback as constructive criticism, the best parts about being a first-time-founder, and much more. This episode offers exceptional advice from an expert in the field and how she grew her brand to be a household name, not only in the beauty industry, but as a clean brand too. Enjoy!
