Backing Beaut™

Author: Greg (Co-Founder/MD) & Lara (Head of Content/Education) July 12, 2022 Duration: 26:25

In Episode 5 we chat all things Beaut™, a local new-comer that has impressed us with their simple, purpose-driven formulations and unique African flair.

Lara and Greg are joined by Beaut™ founder Robyn Fenner. (Excuse the leaf blower that joins us at a certain point in the recording). We hear about Robyn's entrepreneurial journey in starting a skincare brand, something she never would have had time for had it not been for COVID and lockdowns.

We dive into the Beaut™ product line-up while Robyn illustrates what comes next for this innovative local brand.

At Dermastore®, we are so proud to be able to support a South African startup.

The Dermastore® Podcast is a space where the worlds of beauty, business, and science intersect. Hosted by Greg, the company's Co-Founder and Managing Director, and Lara, the Head of Content and Education, this series goes beyond surface-level tips. It’s a deep, often nerdy, dive into the realities of skin health, the art of effective formulation, and the entrepreneurial journey of building a brand in the beauty industry. Each conversation is built on a foundation of genuine expertise, blending practical skincare advice with behind-the-scenes insights on what it takes to create products that actually work. You'll hear honest discussions about ingredient efficacy, marketing myths, and the balance between creative vision and commercial strategy. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a skincare enthusiast hungry for detailed knowledge, or someone working in the fashion and arts spaces where image and substance meet, this podcast offers a unique perspective. It’s for anyone who believes that understanding the why behind a product is just as important as using it. Join Greg and Lara as they explore all things skincare, from the molecular to the macroeconomic, in a way that’s both informative and refreshingly direct.
