Today’s guest is Anna Mitsios, naturopath, skincare formulator and founder of Edible Beauty Australia Anna’s journey began in the corporate world, where she spent over a decade specialising in corporate finance and private banking. However, a pivotal moment in her life came at the age of 18 when she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.  This diagnosis sparked her deep dive into botanicals, nutrition, and holistic health as she sought to manage her autoimmune condition and help others achieve optimal health. In 2014, Anna took a leap and launched Edible Beauty while working as a naturopath at a fertility clinic. There, she realised there was a gap in the market for truly safe, effective skincare—products that were free from endocrine disruptors and harmful chemicals. So, she created a line of skincare so pure, you could almost eat it. Anna is a firm believer that beauty begins from within. She developed Edible Beauty not just as a skincare line, but as a holistic wellness range, where products nourish both the skin and body from the inside out. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Anna for almost a decade, and I’ve witnessed Edible Beauty grow into an innovative brand that continues to evolve while staying true to its core values of transparency, integrity, and efficacy. Today, Anna is here to share her expertise in health and skincare formulation as she introduces her latest groundbreaking product—a high-performance anti-aging solution that targets aging at the cellular level. I’m excited to share this with you. • What is the last beauty product you purchased? Bon Charge LED Mask • What’s been your best beauty discovery in the last 12 months? Spermidine which is the key ingredient in Super Stem Cell Concentrate. Click here to see before and after images. • Your desert island skincare product? Edible Beauty Snowflower Oil • Professional treatment you swear by? Natural Enzyme Botanical Facial • Best piece of beauty or wellness advice you can share? Address your stress - as it takes a toll on our body and beauty. Follow Anna Mitsios and Edible Beauty on instagram @ediblebeautyau

If you are a beauty brand looking to make aligned retail partnerships, gain knowledge about how to approach buyers and navigate knock backs and rejection, Nicci will be sharing her insights and experience with beauty brands and wellness brands. One of the key challenges I hear from beauty and wellness brand founders across all categories including skincare, makeup, beauty injestables and wellness products is the difficulty they experience gaining the attention of beauty buyers as they aim to grow their retail distribution channels. The Green Edit Beauty Summit is fast approaching onThursday the 16th of March and I have curated a panel of key beauty buyers from Sephora Australia, Nourished Netherlands, Clean Beauty Market and RIISE who will share valuable insights about what they look for when curating products for their stores and how your beauty brand can stand out from the rest.  Beauty Summit Tickets: https://www.thegreenedit.com.au/industry-event-award-2023 In the lead up to Beauty Summit I have invited Nicci Herrera, Director of Partnerships for Retail Beauty Magazine to join us via a virtual fireside chat to share a really unique perspective about how to navigate and make aligned retail partnerships for your beauty and wellness brand.  Nicci has over 25 years experience across many aspects of the beauty industry including publishing, retail, marketing, strategy and sales. She has her finger on the pulse when it comes to the retail landscape and what really happens on the department store floor, in the pharmacy beauty aisle and in airport retail stores.  Nicci’s driving force has helped lead the next chapter of Retail Beauty to a 360-degree tool for brands to build awareness, educate the industry, secure distribution and help gain global exposure. On this episode one of the key takeaways that Nicci shared and that beauty buyers have shared with me recently is how much they truly value meeting brand founders face to face. That they say is where the magic happens and when real partnerships are made.  They are joining the Beauty Breakfast summit as they want to connect with you and hear more about your brand and story. Which means this is the event you need to be at to make these valuable connections. At time of recording I still have some tickets available for The Beauty Breakfast Summit. I also have 1 exhibitor space available for an aligned clean beauty or wellness brand to join us at the Beauty Brand Showcase event later that afternoon. It’s an incredible  opportunity to share your brand and product range with a curated list of 80 key media, retailers and influencers. I also wanted to share some exciting Industry news today as Qantas officially launched their new retail platform Qantas Marketplace and I am so proud to have Qantas as an event partner of The Beauty Summit and the beauty buying team will at the event, they are growing their online clean and sustainable beauty offering and are looking forward to meeting and connecting with aligned beauty brand founders - you will find them at the Qantas Coffee Cart at the summit.

Welcome to The Green Edit Podcast, your go-to destination for clean, high-performance beauty, hosted by founder & Organic Makeup Artist, Cathy Tolpigin.  On this podcast, you’ll hear interviews with brand founders, formulators, beauty innovators, inspiring entrepreneurs and wellness experts. Together we unpack the various definitions of clean, share inspiring brand stories, and cover the latest innovations in the green beauty industry — with a few product recommendations thrown in, of course. ​ We want to inspire you to re-think your routine; to discover cleaner options without ever having to sacrifice efficacy, luxury or performance. ​ Today’s  guests Harry Smith and Chris Lam are founders of Waste Revolution Australia.  They have created Australia’s leading plastic neutral certification, which helps companies measure, reduce and offset their plastic.  I first heard about Waste Revolution Australia when I interviewed, Inika Organic’s Global Brand Manager, Polly Roderick on episode 19 of the podcast. She announced that Inika had just become the first plastic neutral makeup brand in the world.  I was curious learn more, especially as I will be presenting at the Beauty Insiders Industry event on the topic of beauty packaging and sustainability. I’m currently deep in the research.  I have been speaking  with many beauty brand founders to gain insights about their packaging and sustainability, it’s clear that it can often be a difficult and challenging process to navigate. Essentially beauty packaging is important, it's the vessel that protects and preserves a brands formulation. It maintains the integrity and shelf life of active ingredients. And packaging function and aesthetics are important for branding, retail and for engaging consumers. Waste Revolution’s model of measure, reduce and offset plastic usage, unlocks corporate capital and channels it to recycling and plastic collection while supporting local communities. And better yet, Waste Revolution works to compliment existing consumer facing recycling programs such as Teracycle and Close The Loop. I hope this episode inspires other beauty brands to reach out and work with Harry and Chris who are creating a new standard. One where all businesses are fully accountable for their impact on the environment – both plastic and carbon.  Last product you purchased - Almond Oil as a face oil.             What’s been your best beauty discovery this year - Living in the tropics - has made his skin less dry and more hydrated. Your desert island skincare product - Sunscreen - preferable in plastic neutral packaging Professional treatment you swear by - Harry would like to remind himself and encourage us all to donate blood to the Red Cross.         Best piece of beauty or wellness advice you can share - Smile :)You can follow Harry and Chris @wasterevolution_aus on Instagram  For complete show notes for this episode and for links to products mentioned head to: www.thegreenedit.com.au/podcast   And if there’s anything you want to hear on future episodes let us know on Instagram @thegreenedit_au   www.thegreenedit.com.au   And finally, if you love listening, please rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.  Thanks so much for listening and for being a part of our conscious community, we are thrilled to have you!
