Scandinavian Design Meets Organic Beauty...

Takara Sewitt | Wavebreak
About this episode

After falling in love and relocating to Sweden, Laura was immediately inspired by the natural and holistic elements of Swedish culture, as well as modern minimalist Scandinavian design. In 2015, born from her newfound passion for natural and organic beauty and inspired by her new environment, Henne was created.  With Henné, the vision was simple: highly effective organic and natural beauty products without sacrificing aesthetics. True ecoluxury beauty. 

In this episode, Laura also discusses:

  • Experiences starting and running a business as a first-generation immigrant
  • How Nordic culture inspired the ingredient sourcing and design of Henné Organics
  • How motherhood changes your perspective and orientation to business and life
  • Henné Organics charity partnership and why helping human trafficking victims is so important

We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Laura’s journey and the growth of Henne. Don't forget to subscribe to the Glam & Grow podcast for more in depth conversations with the most incredible brands, founders, and more.
