Let's face it. You just never know when you're going to have a breakout and how bad these pesky things will leave a mark. Enter Hero Cosmetics: co-founded and lead by Ju Rhyu. Hero Cosmetics is the original award-winning acne patch. It's award-winning simply because it actually works, has a great price-point, and is there with you at every step of your skin's journey. From preventing breakouts to treating hyperpigmentation, Hero Cosmetics is with you during the entire cycle of your pimple. It is clinically-conscious which means the product line does not have harsh ingredients or chemicals that aggravate or make your breakouts and skin worse, and it's even safe for pregnant women or sensitive skin. It is made from medical-grade hydrocolloid which absorbs the pus from pimples so you can see the effects overnight. In this episode, Ju shares business tips on how she was able to hit that $1M mark in a year, and this includes an emphasis on how to pitch to investors and retailers.

When you think about skincare, we all know that at the end of the day, we just want it to work. Plain and simple. This week's Hello Beauty guest is Huron's Founder and CEO, Matt Mullenax. Huron is a men's skincare brand that's jam-packed with high-performing and effective ingredients, that doesn't break the bank. Matt struggled with acne growing up and playing sports in high school and football during college didn't help his skin at all. As he was more exposed to premium products as a young adult, he finally saw a difference and improvement on his skin. This compelled him to create his own products that would be available to every guy (and even woman) at every age and every stage of their life. His background in both finance and brand side of the consumer industry helped launch Huron on July 29, 2019. In this episode, Matt shares his advice as a CEO during these interesting times, why it isn't taboo anymore for men to talk about skincare, why Huron is an A+ personal care brand that everyone can rely on, and so much more.

This week's Hello Beauty guest is Pacifica's Founder, Brook Harvey-Taylor. Pacifica is, what you would say, the OG of 100% vegan, clean, and cruelty-free beauty because Brook created her brand over 23 years ago when indie brands or even the clean beauty space was not a thing yet. Brook shares how she started Pacifica with no beauty brand knowledge and from borrowing money from both her and her husband's mom, as well as maxing out her credit cards. She has created a brand that's ahead of its time and continues to do so by continuously coming up with fun and interesting products such as her hemp-infused eyeshadows that have powerful color pay off and are creamy to touch. In this episode, we distinguish the meaning between vegan and cruelty-free, Pacifica's recycling program, Pacifica's commitment to the clean beauty space, why hemp is a great ingredient for makeup, and so much more.
