Clean Soil, Clean Beauty: How Farming Affects Your Skincare
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Can we truly have "clean beauty" if the soil it grows in isn't healthy?
In this special episode, recorded live at the Organic Spa Magazine NYC Media Event, we go beneath the surface of the beauty industry. We’re joined by four mission-driven leaders to discuss why regenerative agriculture and soil health are the next frontiers of sustainability.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The Foundation: Why clean soil is the ultimate "active ingredient" in skincare.
- Global Standards: How North American regenerative practices compare to the EU.
- True Sustainability: Moving beyond recyclable bottles to compostable packaging and environmental tracking.
- The Tech Frontier: How technology is helping founders source ingredients more ethically.
Meet the Panel:
✨ Katherine Pye – General Manager, Wildsmith Skincare
✨ Dr. Nicholas Perricone – Author & Founder, Perricone MD Skincare
✨ Ian McKee – CEO, Carrot
✨ Ian Lirenman – CEO, emerginC

- Certification Status: Please note that at the time of this recording, these brands had not been CMB Certified.
- Our Standard: While we are inspired by these founders' story and vision, our official CMB endorsement is reserved exclusively for brands that have completed our rigorous verification process.
