Episode Details

On today’s episode, we welcome Karen Behnke, Founder of Beauty Crush Skincare — a regenerative skincare brand bringing together biotech, sustainability, clean beauty, vineyard luxury and decades of product innovation. Recognized by Elle, Forbes and Cosmopolitan as one of the OGs of the clean beauty movement, Karen helped shape the organic and clean skincare industry long before it became mainstream.
In this episode, Karen shares what she has learned as a four-time founder and why she decided to build again with Beauty Crush Skincare. She talks about how the beauty category has evolved over the last 20+ years, what is different about building a company today, and how she is approaching regenerative skincare from her solar-powered organic beauty vineyard in Sonoma County. We also discuss clean crushing, biotech, sustainability, product innovation, brand trust, and what it takes to create something truly differentiated in a very crowded beauty market.
A must-listen for founders, operators, beauty lovers and anyone interested in clean beauty, regenerative skincare, sustainability, biotech and what it really takes to keep innovating across decades.
