74: How to be a better beauty consumer | beauty expert Jenn Harper

“Our home, this earth, is a gift and we've really not done a great job of caring for it as human beings,” says Jenn Harper, the founder of Cheekbone Beauty (a certified B-Corp company). Harper is Anishinaabe, an indigenous group native to North America, which she says has influenced much of her relationship with beauty, the earth, and how she defines success. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mbg beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Harper about the current challenges in finding sustainable packaging, how to be a better beauty consumer, and why we should all redefine what success actually looks like.
