In this episode of Process, Arielle sits down with Emma Lewisham, the founder behind the skincare brand known for science-led formulations, circular design and that unmistakable violet hue.

Emma shares what it really took to build a global beauty brand from scratch. Not just the wins, but the mindset shifts, the sacrifices, and the moments of doubt along the way. From leaving her corporate career to challenging an entire industry, this is a conversation about staying true to your vision, leading with purpose, and redefining what success actually looks like.

This one’s for anyone navigating big pivots, building something with longevity, or questioning the sacrifices it takes to get there.

In this episode, we explore:

• Emma’s shift from executive leadership to building a skincare brand rooted in science and sustainability
• Why true innovation means pushing the industry to evolve, not just following trends
• How sustainability shapes every decision and process within the business
• The emotional labour and resilience involved in building a brand with integrity
• The impact of strategic partnerships, like the one with Mecca, in growing a global beauty brand
• Rethinking success to embrace both personal fulfilment and a lasting legacy

Emma shares why a 100-year vision guides her, why integrity is non-negotiable, and how leaning into discomfort drives real growth and change.
