In this guest series episode of “What Beauty Founders Don’t Know” (formerly JumpStart Beauty Brand), I spoke to the multi-talented, done it all, energetic founder, investor, leader-Sarah Hamilton, who co-founded bella box, a beauty subscription box, with over 100s of thousands of followers on Meta, Sand & Sky-a pure Australian botanicals skincare brand sold through every major beauty and fashion retailer across the planet, is a board member at a “Unilever Ventures” portfolio brand Straand, which is turning scalp care on its head, is a board member at STUFF™ -a cruelty-free personal care brand that promotes healthy masculinity, is an advisor at Mermade Hair, and has a few dozen more ventures and roles, and in the interest of not making you feel like an under-achiever nor taking too much of your mind space, I decided to not write about here!
