Did you know that your shower gel is a big polluter and you can have huge positive impact by just removing the water from it? 💥

Yes water makes up to 90% of CO2 emissions during transport – yup! But there is a better way…

In this pod, Gaelle, CEO and Founder of ETHOSA, chats with us about how her waterless beauty products are revolutionizing the industry - to help the planet and your body!

In her words, Sustainability is no longer a trend; it is essential for our future – so we need to change. 

Not only she removes water, but it is a plant based product 💕

We talk about:

• Her story, 
• How she moved from side hustle to business
• The challenges building a green business (as a pioneer)
• Her fears…. The real deal
• And fundraising as a first time founder

It is a fascinating episode and I’ll leave you with this clip for you to understand in more detail what ETHOSA does and how it can help you too!

As usual, send us your comments and questions,

Cheers, 

Moni
