The Green Edit Podcast

Welcome to this bonus episode of The Green Edit podcast with my lovely guest Alison Rice, founder of Offline.

Alison is one of Australia's most in-demand conscious career, business and leadership coaches and I am so thrilled to have her at The Beauty Breakfast Summit as an MC and Speaker on The 16th of March 2023.

Alison and I started recording a 5min chat, a teaser of sorts for The Meet The Summit Speaker Podcast Episode that went live recently.

However our 5 min chat soon turned into 25.

And I wanted to share our full conversation here because I know that brand founders and brand builders from all industries would get so much value from this conversation and from Alison’s conscious career space OFF.

At time of recording there are still tickets available to The Beauty Breakfast Summit and we would love for you to join us. Bring along your team or come yourself, we will both be there and we cannot wait to see you.

At the summit Alison will be setting the tone for our morning together and she will be offering some powerful words of wisdom and encouragement around the topic of what it means to build something that means something, and how to navigate feelings of fear, hopelessness and defeat.

I am a very devoted member of Alison’s conscious career space Off - and it’s within this safe, supportive and inspiring container that Alison, her colleague Lucy and I shaped and evolved The Green Edit event into the very special offering it is today.

And I wanted to create this episode and space for Alison to share in more detail her passion for supporting brand founders and brand builders and how her conscious career space off is evolving in 2023.

Today’s guest is Alex Wilson, the founder of Heartwood and she shares shares her journey to creating the ultimate clean beauty store located in Western Australia.

Heartwood is a beautiful haven, to serenade your senses with an intoxicating blend of spa treatments, niche natural products and a perfume bar where you can create your very own bespoke natural fragrance.

Additionally, Alex’s family are pioneers of Indian sandalwood which is sustainably grown on farms across the far north of Australia.

Alex developed a fascination with this fragrant and beautiful wood at an early age and in recent years, she began exploring how to bring the traditional uses of Indian sandalwood as a therapeutic ingredient to a modern audience.

However, on the verge of launching Heartwood, Alex was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and was forced to put her vision on hold. After many complications, months and long days in hospital, she realised that despite everything... life offers moments of joy.

And bringing to life Heartwood had taken on a deeper, more personal meaning and it became her mission to bring a little moment of joy to everyone who walks through the Heartwood doors.

Her goal is to leave your inspired, brimming with knowledge and feeling beautiful. Whether it’s a spa treatment, a new beauty ritual, an amazing scent, or just a good chat, she hopes to help you embrace and appreciate the very best of what nature has to give.

Welcome to The Green Edit Podcast, your go-to destination for clean, high-performance beauty, hosted by founder & Organic Makeup Artist, Cathy Tolpigin.

On this podcast, you’ll hear interviews with brand founders, formulators, beauty innovators, inspiring entrepreneurs and wellness experts. Together we unpack the various definitions of clean, share inspiring brand stories, and cover the latest innovations in the green beauty industry — with a few product recommendations thrown in, of course. ​

We want to inspire you to re-think your routine; to discover cleaner options without ever having to sacrifice efficacy, luxury or performance. ​

Today’s guests Harry Smith and Chris Lam are founders of Waste Revolution Australia.

They have created Australia’s leading plastic neutral certification, which helps companies measure, reduce and offset their plastic.

I first heard about Waste Revolution Australia when I interviewed, Inika Organic’s Global Brand Manager, Polly Roderick on episode 19 of the podcast. She announced that Inika had just become the first plastic neutral makeup brand in the world.

I was curious learn more, especially as I will be presenting at the Beauty Insiders Industry event on the topic of beauty packaging and sustainability. I’m currently deep in the research.

I have been speaking with many beauty brand founders to gain insights about their packaging and sustainability, it’s clear that it can often be a difficult and challenging process to navigate. Essentially beauty packaging is important, it's the vessel that protects and preserves a brands formulation. It maintains the integrity and shelf life of active ingredients. And packaging function and aesthetics are important for branding, retail and for engaging consumers.

Waste Revolution’s model of measure, reduce and offset plastic usage, unlocks corporate capital and channels it to recycling and plastic collection while supporting local communities. And better yet, Waste Revolution works to compliment existing consumer facing recycling programs such as Teracycle and Close The Loop.

I hope this episode inspires other beauty brands to reach out and work with Harry and Chris who are creating a new standard. One where all businesses are fully accountable for their impact on the environment – both plastic and carbon.

• Last product you purchased - Almond Oil as a face oil.
  
• What’s been your best beauty discovery this year - Living in the tropics - has made his skin less dry and more hydrated.
  
• Your desert island skincare product - Sunscreen - preferable in plastic neutral packaging
• Professional treatment you swear by - Harry would like to remind himself and encourage us all to donate blood to the Red Cross.
• Best piece of beauty or wellness advice you can share - Smile :)
