The Plant Based Business Podcast - Episode 15: Creating An Inclusive, Diverse And Natural Beauty Brand with Melissa Butler

Melissa Butler was fresh out of college and working on Wall Street when she saw a gap in the market for an inclusive cosmetic brand that would be better for consumers and for the planet. This week Judy chats to Melissa about her business, The Lip Bar, how she scaled from her kitchen, and sought investment, and went onto appear on the US show Shark Tank. Judy and Melissa also cover the issue of diversity in the plant-based space, and racial injustice in the States, including Melissa's plans to encourage economic empowerment in Black American communities. This was an amazing conversation covering so much ground, we hope you enjoy!
