[party in my plants] 49: Skin, Plants, Dogs, and Beards! with Frank & Whit Founder Chris Cieri
Today’s guest is a gem. He’s just a gem. And I’ve really never used that phrase before but I couldn’t think of any better way to introduce Chris Cieri, the founder of Franklin and Whitman, the instagram-famous plant-based, paraben and cruelty free skin care company you might already be familiar with. You know that song: “started from the bottom now we here?” Well Chris’ version might as well be “started with a beard now we here” because that’s really the story of how his passion-project-turned-second-job exploded onto the natural skin care scene. Just like Chris is blown away by the response to his handmade products, I was blown away by this conversation because we go WAY more than skin deep. Haha I love puns. We talk about morals and ethics and life and death and dogs and instagram and serums and dry shampoo and everything in between. You’ll hear: Why is Franklin and Whitman is even called Franklin and Whitman (or “Frank and Whit” for short). The guiding principles/brand promises that Frank and Whit lives by. What the heck parabens are! The shocking way Chris learned to make all his skin care products. The product he’s most proud of creating. And so much more!
