Skincare Guru May Lindstrom on her Cult-Favorite “Blue Cocoon" Balm, Saying No To Retail and The Power of Small Batch Beauty
56:41 Share

In the spirit of slowing down – and soaking up every last bit of summer – this week we welcome May Lindstrom, organic skincare guru and founder of her eponymous luxury skincare line, May Lindstrom Skincare. May started crafting her **addicting, aromatherapeutic **concoctions from her kitchen back in 2008 – long before “clean” beauty was a buzzword. Today, beauty insiders covet her number one-selling “Blue Cocoon” balm, a magical blue tansy cure-all beloved by Tracee Ellis Ross and Sadie Sink, among others. 

In this week’s episode you’ll hear:

• How May’s self-described “Little House on the Prairie” upbringing inspired her connection to plants and nature, the bedrock of her brand today
• How the artisanal formulator went from living in her car in LA to training line chefs at one of Emeril Lagasse’s New Orleans’ hotspot restaurants to modeling – and ultimately, to respected skincare guru
• Why May chose to pull her brand from top retailers in 2020 – essentially cutting her profit in half
• The reason May Lindstrom products have a “born on” date affixed to every label
• What we can expect from the brand next
