Indie beauty and the organic and natural cosmetics sector have typically focused more on skincare than haircare. This is to be expected; people can be reluctant to change their haircare routines and products once they have found brands that work for them. There are other reasons too for natural haircare lingering behind, such as the perceived higher cost of using natural shampoos and conditioners whose precious ingredients are immediately washed off. However, we are witnessing an exciting rise in the number of natural haircare brands, and also in consumer awareness of the need to seek out more sustainable haircare products too. The tide is turning for the dominance of mainstream haircare, not least on account of some recent high-profile product recalls in the sector. To discuss the kind of changes we need to make the haircare sector more sustainable and, as brand founders, see natural, indie haircare leading the way, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier talks to Jana Blankenship. The founder, CEO and lead formulator of green beauty haircare and B Corp company Captain Blankenship, Jana made a conscious decision a couple of years ago to pivot her business to focus solely on haircare and embed sustainability into its operations.

EP147. Talking sustainable haircare with Captain Blankenship

Jana Blankenship

When it comes to clean beauty, it's easy to feel paralyzed from the surge of information available to us. The definition of clean beauty becomes subjective depending on the brand and this causes us to question how transparent the labels on packagings are. Jana Blankenship, Founder of Captain Blankenship, is a passionate educator about the transformative power of plant and mineral-based ingredients for beauty. Captain Blankenship is an organic, green beauty company that's B Corp, Leaping Bunny Certified, and part of 1% for the Planet. Jana also launched Sailor by Captain Blankenship, which is a gender-neutral skincare and grooming line. To top it off, Jana is also the author of Wild Beauty, a book about clean beauty and natural self-care recipes.In this episode of Hello Beauty, Jana recounts how her business grew organically from her house in 2009 to being sold in Credo, The Detox Market, Anthropologie, and over 300 stores nationally and internationally. This conversation tackles some green beauty issues such as overharvesting, and we talk about dangerous synthetic chemicals like phthalates, parabens, and petroleum jelly. She shares the natural alternative to petroleum jelly, which is shea butter! Tune in to this episode with Jana to learn more about the importance of not compromising the integrity of your business, the benefits of having a support system in the same industry, the exciting things in store for her and Captain Blankenship, and so much more!FOLLOW CAPTAIN BLANKENSHIPCAPTAIN BLANKENSHIP’s WebsiteCAPTAIN BLANKENSHIP’s InstagramJANA’s Personal InstagramFOLLOW HELLO BEAUTYHello Beauty's InstagramHello Beauty's FacebookHello Beauty's YouTubeFOLLOW JOYCE PLATONJoyce Platon's Instagram
