The Secret to Glass Skin - Glow Recipe (Full Episode)
Channel: Startup to Storefront
Date: 2021-08-03

Today’s guests are Sarah Lee and Christine Chang, co-founders of the K-beauty-inspired Glow Recipe. In this age of globalization and cross-cultural influence, it certainly seems like South Korea is having it’s a moment in the sun. Between K-Pop, Korean BBQ, and K-beauty, South Korean culture is really taking the world by storm. Christine and Sarah met while they were working for L’Oréal in Korea, but it wasn’t until they had moved to New York City that they saw the potential in being a distributor for K-beauty products in the states. It wasn’t long before the American consumer was snatching up everything they offered, and ever the savvy entrepreneurs, they capitalized on this success to dive into manufacturing their own products as well.

So listen in as we cover everything from how there’s no one-size-fits-all skin type and therefore no one-size-fits-all skincare, why the beauty industry needs to stop using unrealistic terms like pore-less and flawless, and we take a deep dive into their Shark Tank experience; how they struck a deal with Robert and why they ended up walking away from that deal after the episode aired.
