Our mission has always been clear:
Illuminate the truth. Elevate awareness. Protect our bodies. Transform the beauty industry from the inside out.

And today, we’re calling our community into an even deeper conversation — one that touches every home, every salon, every holiday season, and every person who uses or gifts fragrance, body spray, cologne, or scented beauty products.

⚠️ The Hidden Cost of Beauty Products

For decades, professionals in the beauty industry — our stylists, estheticians, barbers, creators, and wellness-aligned friends — have been exposed to more fragrance chemicals, aerosols, and volatile compounds than most people realize.

Here’s what research confirms:
• Beauty salons regularly test higher for VOCs (benzene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde) than outdoor air.
In multiple studies, calculated cancer-risk values for these compounds exceeded recognized safe thresholds.
• Hairdressers and cosmetologists show increased lifetime risks for certain cancers, including bladder cancer, compared with the general population.
Documented in occupational exposure research.
• Frequent use of certain hair straighteners and permanent dyes has been linked with higher risks for breast-cancer and uterine-cancer in specific populations.
Summarized in Harvard Health’s toxic beauty analysis.

For consumers?
Daily fragrance use still means daily exposure — through inhalation, skin absorption, and even amplified uptake when washing hands in hot water after application.

This isn’t fear-based education.
This is truth-based empowerment.

✨ Why This Matters to the Better Beauty Collective

We exist because the beauty industry has never been fully transparent. We were sold “luxury,” “glamour,” “freshness,” and “confidence in a bottle,” without being told what cocktail of chemicals lived inside the word fragrance.

We now know:
• Many of these ingredients interact with hormone pathways
• Several are identified as potential carcinogens
• Some contribute to long-term endocrine disruption
• These exposures are exponentially higher for professionals who breathe, touch, and apply them daily

This is why Better Beauty matters.
This is why we keep educating.
This is why we invite Warriors to rise in awareness.

Over 20 years ago, I entered this industry. I’ve experienced many ‘corners’ — educators, technical directors, and local and national teams. I’ve taught everyone from the stylist in beauty school student to salon owners to supporting the sales staff. With the number of independents growing and projected to reach 94% but the end of the year, I realize now more than ever how vital community and partnership are. Business is a team sport — and yet I watch a lot of business owners in both the healing + beauty space strive to do it alone. And I get it…. 🙋🏻‍♀️ I was too.

In the past, I didn’t understand how collaboration even worked in our industry. The importance of my network was lost on me in the beginning.

Not anymore! My trajectory in this career is the ultimate underdog story — and my success is founded on 3 things //
- Lead with Love
- Consistency
- Connection
