We're back and kicking off Season 3 catching up on what's been keeping us busy over the summer! To celebrate launching BYBI in the US, we thought we'd deep dive into what it takes to launch a brand internationally and give you small business owners a handy check list of dos and don'ts when it comes to crossing the pond.

We're also delighted to announce that in our continued sustainability mission, BYBI will be net carbon zero by the end of 2020! Ever wondered what carbon neutrality actually means? Or wanted to know more about carbon credits and offsetting? We delve into the nitty gritty of carbon, fossil fuels and climate conscious beauty.

You may have heard of 2019’s hottest skincare ingredient bakuchiol because of its regular comparison to retinol and the industry highlighting studies that compare its properties to that of vitamin A. But do you know where bakuchiol comes from and that it’s been used in ancient medicine for centuries?

In celebration of launching a deluxe sized Bakuchiol Booster over on bybi.com, we delve into the Ayurvedic origins of bakuchiol as an ingredient and why it’s come to be so widely used in modern skincare. To help us, we interview skin influencer and expert Alisa of @lifeofalisalani. Alisa has done a lot of work in raising awareness of bakuchiol’s amazing back story and giving credit to the communities who discovered it before it hit the western beauty industry. We talk about the ingredient in more detail as well as some of its amazing benefits - firming, increasing collagen production and smoothing to name but a few!

We interview Paula Quazi, the co-founder of disruptive, eco-friendly laundry brand Smol. Paula is hugely impressive but equally humble and the conversation was a pleasure; she shares what she learnt from 20 years at Unilever, leaving them as Vice President of Marketing in Europe to go freelance and more recently, launching Smol. Smol are shaking up the laundry detergent industry; an industry that’s pretty stale and is in desperate need for a brand to give it a refresh. Smol operate a direct to consumer, subscription model (no more running out or lugging huge cases of laundry powder home with you), in sustainable packaging with less waste. Tune in to hear more about building and scaling a direct to consumer brand, how to transition from corporate to startup life and more about the Smol journey!
