Welcome to Hello Beauty, the podcast where we dive deep into the world of beauty, wellness, and the innovative minds that are reshaping how we think about self-care. I'm your host, Joyce Platon, and today, we're exploring a fascinating intersection where home environment meets skincare, and how tweaking our surroundings can revolutionize our beauty routines.

In this episode, we have the pleasure of hosting two visionary guests from Canopy, a brand that's pioneering a new category in the market by merging home products with beauty. Lucas Lappe, the Co-Founder, and Eric Neher, the Chief Marketing Officer, join us to unveil the story behind Canopy's inception, their journey to finding a unique white space in the market, and how they're addressing one of the most overlooked yet crucial aspects of skincare - humidity.

With the launch of their new Portable Humidifier, Canopy is not just promising healthier, more hydrated skin but is also redefining beauty norms, emphasizing that sometimes, the best skincare hacks come from where we least expect them. And here's a fun fact to ponder: While the optimal humidity levels for healthy skin range between 40-60%, the relative humidity in a plane can drop as low as 5%. Imagine the impact on your skin during travel!

So, how does maintaining optimal humidity levels at home and on-the-go change the game for skincare? And what inspired Canopy to create a product that's now becoming a must-have for beauty enthusiasts and travelers alike?

Stay tuned as Lucas and Eric share their insights on innovation, the importance of environmental factors in skincare, and how Canopy is setting new standards for beauty and wellness.

Let's dive into the mist of things, right here on Hello Beauty.

From my experience, it's a lot of work to try to incorporate greens in your daily diet or even try to juice everyday. I also never know if I'm really consuming the proper amount of vitamins and minerals that I am supposed to be getting. There seems to be an easier way to get your greens without the hassle of chopping and cleaning up a lot of fruits and vegetables, and this is when 8Greens caught my attention. 

I chat with Lady Dawn Russell, who is a health leader, entrepreneur, wife, mother and cancer survivor. She is also the co-founder of 8Greens. 8Greens is the easy, tasty way to get your greens. It's not meant to replace a healthy diet but to help you with getting real greens into your body. In this episode we talk about what 8Greens is aiming to solve, how Dawn created the world's first green products with her lollipop, tablets, and gummies, what some of the health, wellness, and nutrition trends are right now, and where she thinks the industry is going, and so much more.
