#19. In this episode, In this episode, we are interviewing Kayleigh Christina. Kayleigh Christina is the Co-Founder and CGO of CLEARSTEM, a nontoxic anti-aging and anti-acne skincare line. As a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, published author, podcaster, and investor of wellness-based brands, Kayleigh has a deep passion for making a positive impact in other people’s lives. Her journey into the skincare world began when she developed numerous health issues - a breast tumor and severe cystic acne in her mid-twenties - and tried in vain to find a cure. After countless doctors, dermatologists, and specialists, no one could figure out what was going on. That’s when she took matters into her own hands and discovered San Diego Acne Clinic, where she met co-founder Danielle Gronich. Not only did her acne clear up, but through their sessions, the duo discovered their mutual passion for helping other acne sufferers achieve clear skin through internal and external methods without sacrificing their health. That’s when CLEARSTEM Skincare was born. As an inspiring leader in the entrepreneurship and wellness industry, Kayleigh loves talking about all things: gut health & holistic wellness, the real root causes of acne, building a community-based CPG brand, scaling a company without outside investment, leading with education first & product second, investing in other wellness brands, and the importance of having a co-founder therapist for the health of the founders and company.
