Rebecca Harding and Ingrid Kesa's Razor-Sharp Aussie Beauty Brand Cares About Your Body

Rebecca Harding and Ingrid Kesa's Razor-Sharp Aussie Beauty Brand Cares About Your Body

Author: Broadsheet December 6, 2023 Duration: 16:51

It all started with a stolen razor. Well, several really. Rebecca Harding would use her boyfriend's razor for its simpler and superior design. She quickly realised that women's grooming products were falling short in functionality. Enter Lui: a body-care brand that aims to elevate your everyday routine. For the past three years, Harding has worked alongside beauty writer and brand expert Ingrid Kesa to bring two products to life—a razor and shaving cream. The response has been immense. Rebecca and Ingrid join 'Around Town' to discuss building a brand, working with young Melbournian women to develop the formulations, and Lui's range of new products launching this week.

Every other Tuesday, Broadsheet Sydney: Around Town offers a quiet conversation with someone shaping the city's character. This isn't about headlines or trends, but the people behind the places and ideas that define daily life here. You might hear from a chef who quietly reimagined a neighborhood's dining scene, or an artist whose work changes how we see a familiar street. The discussion could just as easily turn to the craft of a local distiller or the vision of a small shop owner whose taste influences what we wear. Hosted by Broadsheet, each episode is a deliberate look at the intersections of food, art, fashion, and society, revealing how creative minds build the culture we experience. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair at a corner table with the most interesting person in the room-the stories are specific, the impact is tangible, and the focus is always on the human element driving Sydney forward. It’s for anyone curious about the why and the who behind the city's vibrant surface.
