    Women and skin health at menopause, with IDC Dermo’s Nancy Labonté

    In this special episode of The Brand is Female, we're diving into one of the most significant yet often overlooked aspects of women’s health—menopause and its impact on skin health. Nancy Labonté, our guest, is an expert in dermatology and beauty science. She shares her personal journey and lifelong passion for skincare, starting from a childhood fascination with makeup to a career dedicated to understanding and innovating in skin care, especially regarding aging. We also cover findings from our recent study about women’s experience with perimenopause and menopause - which you can access here: https://tinyurl.com/menopause-report. In this conversation, we explore how hormonal changes influence skin, why many beauty products fall short of truly addressing menopausal needs, and how her brand, IDC Dermo, is striving to change the industry standard by using science-backed ingredients at active concentrations. She shares insight into the 16 mechanisms of skin aging that her team has identified and discusses why transparency and authenticity in formulation are essential to helping women feel comfortable and confident in their skin. This conversation is more than just skin deep—it’s about the evolving narrative around menopause, the importance of quality skincare as self-care, and the call for more honest, effective products in the beauty industry. Join us as we unpack the science, the myths, and the personal stories that illuminate this journey of embracing beauty and wellness through every stage of life.

    Risking it all for a lip scrub; with Sara Happ

    Sara Happ is known as the innovator who redefined the lip care category. Her incredible brand-building story started in her kitchen, where Sara mixed sugars and oils to create her now-iconic lip scrubs. With just $6,000 in personal savings and a job at ESPN that wasn’t inspiring her as much as she had hoped, she launched her namesake brand in 2005—but the big break came when Reese Witherspoon was spotted using her products in People magazine, sparking a wave of demand that threw the brand into the spotlight. Now sold in 22 countries and featured in over 1,500 retail locations, including Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom, but more importantly, a network of independent boutiques and studios that Sara swears by, her brand is a global leader in lip care. In this episode, Sara Happ reflects on how identifying a niche in the market and leveraging organic buzz helped grow her company without outside capital for nearly two decades. Tune in as she talks about finding your niche, perseverance, and scaling smart. This season of our podcast is brought to you by TD Canada Women in Enterprise.
