CLEAN BEAUTY CONNECT 2021

The leading network for driving change in clean beauty towards a sustainable and responsible industry for the conscious consumer

DOWNLOAD 2021 AGENDA
VIRTUAL SUMMIT | PDT Timezone
28-29 June, 2021

“The Clean Beauty Movement, once a niche trend championed by the likes of Goop, has gone mainstream. A report released last month by the British Soil Association Certification revealed how conscious consumerism has pushed the UK organic beauty and well-being market to an all-time high, with millennials and Gen Zs leading the way.”

Vogue

Looking to build partnerships with clean beauty brands around the world? Get in touch to see how the Clean Beauty Connect virtual summit can help you meet your business goals.

Why Attend

Clean Beauty Connect is the leading network driving innovation in beauty and personal care towards a cleaner, more transparent industry. This summit provides the platform for brands to collaborate with innovation leaders, uniting the industry in its sustainability mission.

The market value of clean beauty is expected to grow by $20 billion dollars before 2027 and the onset of the pandemic has made health and safety paramount, with clean formulations becoming table stakes.

However, safety of ingredients is no longer enough for the conscious consumer with 60% looking to buy from socially and environmentally responsible companies. In such a fast-evolving industry, it is imperative brands meet those demands to gain the competitive edge.

We are the established platform bringing together brands and innovation leaders to share their expertise and allow you to meet your sustainability goals. Join this event to gain the knowledge and connections to ensure your company’s next step in becoming clean in 2021.

Mia has been a leader in the movement for safer, more sustainable materials and processes since 2006.

After uncovering the prevalence of toxic ingredients in the spa industry – and how they might have contributed to her own infertility – Jeannie began her quest to make healthy beauty the rule rather than the exception. The complexity of navigating cosmetic ingredients only fueled her passion to make it simple to discover safe, effective and luxurious skincare. Today, as the founder of Beauty Heroes, Jeannie brings a lifetime of beauty, wellness and ritual to her company and her customers, delivering healthy beauty through the thrill of Discovery.

 By working only with brands who have an unwavering commitment to ethical sourcing, purity and quality, she has become the industry standard bearer on ingredient integrity, establishing her company as the most trusted source for healthy beauty. Jeannie works directly with brand founders to hand select, test and approve each product featured by Beauty Heroes. Yet, Jeannie’s curation process is more than skin deep; she is passionate about championing progressive brands that make sustainability and waste reduction central to their business model.

 Feeling called to have a deeper conversation about beauty and wellness for people and the planet, Jeannie pioneered Project Blue Beauty, a platform to connect conscious consumers  with beauty brands that are going from ‘green’ to ‘blue’, shining a spotlight on brands that are not just minimizing their environmental footprint, but actually leaving the planet better than they found it. Beauty Heroes is walking the talk and embracing Blue Beauty through its philanthropic partnership with One Tree Planted. This collaboration was the inspiration behind Beauty Heroes’ first lifestyle products – glass straws and eco-luxurious utensil sets, available in the Beauty Store. Jeannie takes a 360° look at the products she curates for Beauty Heroes, ensuring ethical sourcing, conscious packaging and brand values are carefully considered. Though Project Blue Beauty, Jeannie and her team celebrate initiatives, share best practices and inspire action.

Heather D’Angelo

Founder
Carta Fragrance

Carta was founded in 2017 by Heather D’Angelo, a San Francisco-based perfumer, musician (with the band Au Revoir Simone), and ecologist. The dream for Carta originated while she was collecting botanical samples from the Malaysian rainforest as part of her research at Columbia University. After several years of working with plant-based aromatic compounds, she developed an understanding that scent, like music, is a transportative instrument. Both have the arcane power to suspend moments and places in time.

With Carta, D’Angelo explores the artistry of perfume, influenced by her background in musical composition and scientific inquiry. Rooted in her passion for environmental conservation, D’Angelo’s romance with scents is shaped and driven by a commitment to conscious practices and a desire to share the stories behind Carta’s ingredients.

Eliza and Mary’s ambition is to make refills mainstream. To broaden the appeal and reduces our consumption for single-use plastics in the home.

We need politicians, industry, designers and makers to consider end of life - both in material design and products. We need to cherish more that which we have already and make things last longer.

All life has impact, but let's make it a positive one. Live well, but don't be greedy. 

It's like the old sages say and what really is common sense:

Make the most of your digital experience

Tailor Your Agenda – with sessions spanning across multiple days, design your own agenda based on who you want to hear from and what will be most useful to your business.

Get More Involved – virtual events offer many more interactive opportunities than live events; participate in live polls, live Q&A and live panel discussions – helping you build your personal brand and your business connections.

Improved Audience Visibility – you can see exactly who is registered to attend the event and when they’re online – make that valuable connection in real-time!

On-Demand Content – missed a session or couldn’t tune in that day? That’s fine, sessions will be available to listen to for 2 months post event. That also means you can listen to your favourite speaker multiple times.

High Quality Speakers – this doesn’t change, whether we run a live event or a virtual one, we recruit industry leading, insightful speakers to inspire.

More Networking Opportunities – do you sometimes miss the one person you were hoping to meet at live events? With virtual events you can instant message them, reserve a time in their diary, and email them.

Save Time & Money – tune into an event from the comfort of your own home, no need to travel overseas, spend time away from loved ones and spend your company’s money! This makes networking and knowledge sharing much more cost efficient.

Increased Content – we can run more sessions at one time without the constraints of venue capacities, meaning we can provide you with more valuable content in one go.

Business Development Opportunities – for those looking to partner on the virtual events, there’s lots of session formats that will place you at the centre of the conversations you need to have, including but not limited to; topic specific roundtables, keynote panels, ask the expert chat rooms and more. Talk to our team to find out more [email protected].

Insights – using analytics, we can help you benchmark, to stay ahead of industry trends. We can also share audience insights on job titles, seniority and geography, so you know your networking with the right connections to match your business needs.
