About this episode

What if some of the most hyped innovations in sustainable beauty – dissolvable sheet masks, waterless shampoos, wild-harvested botanicals – are unintentionally part of the problem?

In this powerful solo episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Formula Botanica CEO, Biologist, and Chartered Environmentalist Lorraine Dallmeier kicks off a bold four-part podcast series challenging everything we think we know about sustainable beauty.

Drawing on seven years of expert interviews and hundreds of insights from the global cosmetics sector, Lorraine exposes one of the industry’s most uncomfortable truths: clever isn’t always the same as sustainable.
