Description
Today on the show we’re learning from Allison, the founder behind Mara Beauty.
A lifelong beauty and wellness enthusiast, Allison has always had a passion for beauty and drummed up the idea for her clean algae-based skincare line MARA on a trip to Istanbul, Growing up with her father working in skincare and color cosmetics, she’s had a robust knowledge of ingredients dating back to middle school and spent weekends on commercial sets learning about brand marketing and formulation.
We cover her journey in creating the brand along with some mishaps she’s had along the way, the time when Hailey Bieber bought her product and spoke about it on Youtube and a painful money mistake she made early on.
Total side note here but I’ve been having so much over on Tiktok creating quick biz breakdowns and money mistakes. If you’ve got a money mistake you wanna share with us check out the format and slide into my DMs with the deets, I’ll be choosing a handful of favourites to create videos out of over the coming weeks.
