    Unlock Your Tripeptide Glow With Allies of Skin's CEO

    Recorded on 07/09/25 From Trauma to Transformation, the Future Is Regenerative Skincare. Nicolas Travis intimately shares how failed facial reconstruction surgeries at 19 inspired him to build Allies of Skin, a global brand rooted in clinical science. Nicolas' mission is to make science-backed skincare more human and accessible for all skin journeys using regenerative actives including growth factors and peptides. How Recovery Inspired Allies of Skin's Regenerative Approach. In this episode, Nicolas Travis, CEO/Founder of Allies of Skin, highlights how the brand combines rigorous science with a deeply human approach to beauty. He details how he launched Allies of Skin with three science-backed products, including the Peptides & Antioxidants Advanced Firming Daily Treatment (which is still their #1 best-selling moisturizer today), the Retinal & Peptides Advanced Repair Night Cream, and the Molecular Saviour Probiotics Treatment Mist. Travis explains how he then introduced the breakthrough Multi Peptides & Growth Factor Advanced Lifting Serum, a $188 hero product that took five years to create and has sold out seven times with a 12,000-person waitlist. Nicolas discusses how growth factors and peptides act as “personal trainers for your skin,” strengthening collagen and cellular communication. Travis also shares how Allies validates every launch through 28- and 56-day clinical studies and is now advancing into custom exosome delivery for 40x deeper ingredient penetration. We explore how Allies of Skin has scaled to 36 countries in nine years, driving rapid growth across Amazon, direct-to-consumer, and Cult Beauty, while also expanding retail doors at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Violet Grey. Targeting mature customers with higher spending power and loyalty, Allies balances margin goals with accessibility, offering products like SPF at $45, and adopts a channel-agnostic philosophy, meeting consumers where they shop, from luxury retailers to TikTok Shop. https://go.td.com/PodcastDisclosure

    Beekman 1802 Founder on Farm-to-Face & Goat-to-Glow

    Recorded on 07/07/25 Learn About Clinically Kind Skincare Powered by Goat Milk. Co-Founder and Chief Kindness Officer of Beekman 1802, Dr. Brent Ridge, shares how he grew Beekman 1802 from a rural goat farm into a global leader in sensitive skin care. Brent's medical background, clinical efficacy, storytelling, and kindness philosophy fuel Beekman's omnichannel growth strategy across DTC, Ulta, QVC, and Amazon. Where Kindness Meets The Microbiome: Beekman 1802's Science-Backed Secret to Loyalty. In this episode, Brent shares how he and his partner co-founded Beekman 1802 during a financial crisis by embracing the original act of kindness - taking in a neighboring farmer’s goats. That ethos of empathy now drives their company culture, product development, and community-building strategy. Brent unpacks how goat milk became the foundation for barrier-safe skincare and how the brand has leaned into science with its proprietary “Milk RX” exosome line, microbiome-friendly body care, and peptide-forward innovation. We also dive into goat milk's composition of 160bn+ exosomes/mL, and how these natural vesicles may serve as delivery systems for peptides that support barrier repair and microbiome health. Brent explains how Beekman leverages a statistically validated “Kindness Quotient” to screen its 7,000-person ambassador crew, and how emotional connection, not virality, is the true measure of customer loyalty. He discusses the brand’s omnichannel strategy and how being bootstrapped for 10 years shaped Beekman’s long-term growth approach. From aging science and microbiome research to AI’s role in accelerating product innovation, Brent offers an insightful perspective into what it means to scale with intention, empathy, and scientific rigor.   https://go.td.com/PodcastDisclosure
