The Green Edit Podcast

Welcome to The Green Edit, your go-to destination for green, high-performance beauty. 

Host, Cathy Tolpigin is an organic makeup artist, founder and curator of The Green Edit, a digital media platform, event series and podcast that shines a light on the best in clean, sustainable, cruelty-free beauty and lifestyle brands and products. 

Today’s guest is Nedahl Stelio, founder of RECREATION Bondi Beach, a clean, fresh, and botanical range of luxury perfumes, matching body oils and a game changing face oil.

With over 20 years experience in the beauty and fashion industry, Nedahl was a former magazine Editor at Cleo and Cosmopolitan, Editor at Fairfax's health section and Good Food, she embodies the organic lifestyle and has channelled it into her product range.

Having switched out her beauty products to all-natural, nine years ago, when looking to start a family and eliminate chemicals from her beauty routine, she became aware that perfume was one of the worst offenders. 

She found herself spraying perfume into her hair or on her clothes so it wouldn't touch her skin. That's when she knew she had to create a fragrance that was as safe as it was beautiful. And so Recreation was born.

Welcome to The Green Edit, your go-to destination for green, high-performance beauty. 

Host, Cathy Tolpigin is an organic makeup artist, founder and curator of The Green Edit, a digital media platform, event series and podcast that shines a light on the best in clean, sustainable, cruelty-free beauty and lifestyle brands and products. 

Today's guest Anna Mitsios founder of Edible Beauty Australia left a career in finance to become a naturopath in a fertility clinic, which then led her to create her award winning green beauty and wellness brand.

At the age of 18 Anna was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic and she became very passionate about the incredible ability of natural herbs, diet and supplements to manage her health condition.

After transitioning from a career in Finance and whilst working as a naturopath at a natural fertility clinic Anna was recommending that in addition to changes to their food and lifestyle routines, her patients make changes to their personal care products.

At the time she found that there were very few options available for natural skincare products that were "edible", but still luxurious and therapeutic. As a result, she embarked on creating her own range. 

Anna quite literally started whipping shea butter, cocoa butter and rose water in her mother’s cake mixer, eventually sharing the creations with friends and family.

After much research, courses and cosmetic chemist meetings, Anna created the Edible Beauty Australia brand which now includes over 30 high performance skincare products, botanical beauty teas, delicious inner beauty elixirs, beauty tools and her newly launched Beauty Reset Drops which provide a natural alternative treatment to retinol.

All without a cake mixer in sight!

Welcome to The Green Edit, your go-to destination for green, high-performance beauty. 

Host, Cathy Tolpigin is an organic makeup artist, founder and curator of The Green Edit, a digital media platform, event series and podcast that shines a light on the best in clean, sustainable, cruelty-free beauty and lifestyle brands and products. 

In this episode I talk to Janet Hayward, the founder of Ipsum Skin. Janet shares her passion and dedication for sourcing the purest, most potent natural ingredients from around the world to create her high performance, certified organic skincare range.

The culmination of over 25 years learning and writing in beauty media about the best in beauty across the UK and Australia, provided Janet the opportunity to meet and interview cosmetic chemists, brand founders and botanists. 

The experience informed Janet's idea for Ipsum, which she launched in 2019 at the age of 56. Inspiration that it is never too late to launch your own successful brand.

Together we unpack her definition of clean, Janet shares her inspiring brand story, and we cover the latest innovations in the green beauty industry — with a few product recommendations thrown in, of course.

Welcome to The Green Edit, your go-to destination for green, high-performance beauty. 

Cathy Tolpigin is an organic makeup artist, founder and curator of The Green Edit, a digital media platform, event series and podcast that shines a light on the best in clean, sustainable, cruelty-free beauty and lifestyle brands and products. 

Today I’m joined by journalist and beauty writer Emily Algar. Emily is a contributor at Byrdie, Grazia, Harper’s Bazaar and has worked in the industry for almost seven years. She also works with us at The Green Edit to help bring some of our digital content offering to life. 

Today Emily is taking over the mic to help me share a little more about The Green Edit and why I am so passionate about celebrating truly natural, ethical and sustainable brands and helping people make the switch to clean beauty.

 As a professional makeup artist who only uses clean, ethical products personally and on clients, I am passionate about making green beauty mainstream. I aim to inspire and educate without greenwashing, helping The Green Edit community to navigate the space with transparency.

Over the years, I have researched, tried and tested hundreds of beauty and lifestyle products to find the best high performance, ethical and clean options on the market. The best of the best is what earns a place on The Green Edit.

The Green Edit is a platform dedicated to explaining and promoting the best in clean, sustainable, cruelty-free beauty and lifestyle products. We do this through two main channels: our digital content offering, and an in-person event series held in Sydney (pandemic permitting). 

 The Green Edit mission is simple: to explore and unpack the idea of clean beauty. We shine a light on brands that are sustainable, cruelty-free and formulated with high quality, clean ingredients. But we don’t want to lose out on efficacy or experience. In essence, we want to inspire you to re-think your routine; to discover cleaner options and new favourites.  

 We also take a curious, open-minded approach to our work, and want our community to do the same. We ask questions, facilitate conversations and most importantly, are always evolving. On our digital platform, you’ll find interviews with brand founders, expert commentary and lots of product recommendations (as tested by us). 

 We also have our Loved By The Green Edit Stamp and Recognised By The Green Edit stamp. Both stamps entail a certain set of criteria as mapped out by our founder, wellness experts, formulators and team of editors. They’re designed to communicate our definition of clean, and to help you, our reader, make an informed decision about the products you buy. 

Loved By The Green Edit Stamp Criteria:
https://www.thegreenedit.com.au/lovedbythegreeneditstamp

Recognised By The Green Edit Stamp Criteria
https://www.thegreenedit.com.au/recognisedbythegreeneditstamp

 We don’t subscribe to greenwashing or fear mongering. We just want to give our community the tools they need to make an informed decision. Plus, who doesn’t love a 10/10 mascara/moisturiser/body oil recommendation? 

 So please enjoy, and thank you for joining our conscious community. We’re very happy to have you and we hope you enjoy our series of podcasts and our digital media platform:
