Today Cora is talking to the woman who has arguably created the world’s most coveted sustainable skincare brand – that would be April Garguilo of Vintner’s Daughter.

Inspired by her upbringing in California’s Napa Valley and being a third generation vintner—set out to bring those same standards of exceptional quality and craftsmanship to the world of skincare. April turned to old-world, weeks-long infusion practices to harness each ingredient’s vital energy and nutrition. The resulting, deeply nourishing formulas, Active Treatment Essence™ and Active Botanical Serum™, are sought out by the most discerning beauty experts and enthusiasts around the world and have won the industry’s top beauty awards time and again.

Today, April and Cora speak about how she founded a brand based off of her own disappointing experiences, her commitments to sustainability and authenticity, and also something I loved discussing so much - how she has built a hugely popular business with just two products, proving the idea that we really do not need huge amounts of items to have economic success. That less really can be more, and that following what she calls our “north star” can be the thing that leads us to best possible place both professionally and personal.
