Even Sustainability Has Downsides (With Amika's CEO Chelsea Riggs)

This episode is brought to you by Amika as part of our Gloss Angeles Confidential program. With so many ingredients villainized and greenwashing running amuck, you might be surprised to learn how Amika CEO Chelsea Riggs feels about sulfates and dimethicone in your hair care, as well as the problems being a sustainable brand can present. Chelsea has been a founding member of Amika for the last 15 years, taking the company from a tools brand to one of the top 5 hair care brands on the market. She discusses with us what they’re up against when it comes to formulating, the brand’s hero ingredient sea buckthorn berry, and why the new lipid-restoring, 3-in-1 Superfruit Star Lightweight Styling Oil is unlike any other you’ve tried.Shop this episodeWatch our episodes!GlossAngelesPod.comCALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Join our Slack to try new products before they launchJoin our FB GroupInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.comWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
