Let’s talk truth, packaging and purpose. In this episode, host Patz chats with the absolute sustainability powerhouse Aisling Connaughton, co-founder of Cyd Connects and TEDx speaker, to unpack one of the most pressing issues in the beauty and wellness world: sustainability vs. greenwashing. Spoiler alert: If your product screams “eco-friendly” but is shrink-wrapped in plastic and ships from halfway around the world… it might be more PR stunt than planet saver.
