I'll give you everything. 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.239 Why did you start it? Why skincare? 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:44.360 Why skincare? I suppose when you look four years ago 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.840 and the market that was already out, there were just 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:52.679 so many complicated, chemical based skincare regimes and a clean 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.880 living has always been super important to me. I've suffered 0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:00.000 Migrain's my entire life and hormone imbalances my entire life, 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.520 but it became really important to me when my dad 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.880 passed away from a brain aneurysm around twelve years ago, 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.920 and moving forward from that point, I just felt there 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.040 was just such an importance for me to, I guess, 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.120 prioritize what I was putting on my skin and into 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.400 my body. And at that point in time, skin care 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:23.840 wasn't easy to control because it was so chemical dominant. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.839 So I was like, I'm going to create my own 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.200 because even when you look at deodorant what was on 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:35.360 the market, you're literally putting aluminium onto your skin being 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.960 absorbed into your bloodstream. Ninety percent or more of what 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.480 you put on your skin is absorbed into your body. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:46.280 And I felt, I suppose that was my control over 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:46.800 my health. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:49.240 So cool. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.680 So you felt out of control and you're like, I'm gonna, yeah, 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:53.840 I'm going to control something. 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.440 I think there definitely was some anxiety obviously with my 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.520 dad passing away, and I felt out of control. So 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.120 I was like, going to control what I can, and 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.040 that is my skin care and what I eat and 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:09.440 chemical deodorant, and there were no natural deodorants on the 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:10.560 on the market that worked. 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:11.040 Trust me. 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.760 I tell us about because I remember when we were 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.200 chatting and you were saying about like natural deodorant and 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:23.199 You're like, do you know the steel that little die on? 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.240 Do you know that it's the same chemicals that they 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.400 literally put in fuel a petrol? Sorry, and you're putting 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.800 it on your armpits were your biggest like lymph node. 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.680 Yeah, I would die on the hill. So, like you 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.720 know your barbecue, like you're just lighting it up with 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.360 gas that is in your chemical deodorant. Like it's actually 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:41.880 the same ingredients. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.600 That's why I feel so good change. 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:52.480 I so futangs giving science. But yeah, it's it's wild 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.640 when you actually sit back and look at the ingredients 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.719 that are in things and look, I'm okay with It's 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.839 not the I'm like no chemicals allowed. I'm like, why 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:07.840 are they're unnecessary chemicals in these formulas that they just 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:08.840 don't need to be there. 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:10.319 Yeah. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.040 So it was, yeah, a matter of not being able 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.680 to find anything else on the market but wanting it 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:20.680 and you're just saving us well one day at a time. 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.480 But it did feel pretty good to like nail a formula. 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.640 It took a year, and I yeah, when you read 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.880 the reviews, it's actually pretty cool because it's like I've 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.480 had breast cancer, I'm not allowed to use deodorant. And 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.280 like you're the only deodorant I've been able to use 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.120 in you know, through treatment or post breast cancer or 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.360 so you read those and you're like, holy shit, Like 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:51.240 the impact these products are having on people is so rewarding. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.400 Yeah, that's incredible. So tell us a little bit, like 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.520 how do you start a skincare brand? 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:04.360 Yeah, and I suppose it is literally trial and error 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.640 and you need to have the passion to do it 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:08.800 and the want to do it. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.959 Because it is relentless and you guys would know it's 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.280 recreating formulas, it's not giving up giving up on it, 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.280 and which is something. 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.719 Trust me, the amount of formulas we have tested, and 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.040 it's like Cooper will like it. 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:23.880 I won't. Like. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:28.200 It's such a you know, like a personal thing, but 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.480 you have to constantly retry them, constantly. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:35.360 A man of failures, endless and then you're like do 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.800 I just like, do I just blow this off? 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:43.360 Like maybe natural deodorant doesn't work? And then I will 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.760 never forget. When I got my brothers to try it 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.760 and they are like my biggest critics and awfully honest, 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.800 and they were using it and I was like, holy shit, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.040 they're going to the gym and they use and Corey 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.880 at the time was playing AFL and he use my 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:05.040 deodorant and sorry, guys, still, oh my god. I was like, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:11.760 I'm a mom, I'm a business owner, I am a partner. Corey, 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.920 beautiful Corey. We love you Corey. He actually used to 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:20.400 play AFL and suffered horrific for injuries, but when he 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:24.360 was playing, he'd use it, and I'm like, that's. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.800 It really is the best natural diodont Yeah, spread it. 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:28.560 It works. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.240 But also we're lucky to have like a moisturizer as well, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.800 one hundred percent natural oil and which Coop's favorite love 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.199 the oil and our self tank glow drops were expanding 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.160 the range. I don't know how much I can say, 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.400 so you say whatever you want. My lip oil is 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:51.280 it that I've got on? So we love the lip oil. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.800 That's been something we've been working on for a while 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.160 or now. And if it just feels so good, like 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.400 I was just like watching G's lips before, I'm like, 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:00.080 do you love it? 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:01.560 Yeah? 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.520 Yeah, you've got some sweeten shout there. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.439 Can you run us through kind of like the pillars 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.800 of summer skin, Like, what's the important things for you 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:14.679 in the business? 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:19.920 Of course, So Effectiveness is my number one important thing. 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.120 And I say that because it would be so easy 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.960 to go out and create natural products or you know, 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.920 chemical free products, clean products, But what is the point 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.560 if they're not effective. So it's just like the foremost 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.480 of everything is the effectiveness of these products. And hand 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:38.080 on heart, I will never release a product until I'm 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.960 like it works, and that is like you really do that. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:41.920 Yeah, Like. 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.200 Because if you look back at like four years, like 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.840 we've almost been working overdrive to get products out this 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.440 year at the time frame we want to because I'm like, 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.680 they're not going out. That doesn't work. So it's just 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:56.560 like back and forth. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:57.640 Well, it's very particular. 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:58.480 We run it. 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:03.200 They're adjective a lot of yeah. 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.280 Yeah, that's what we love. And it's like why we 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.800 work so well together. We do work so well together. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:13.320 So effectiveness and clean ingredients and consistency as well is 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.840 really important to us. And that's what I love. I 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.560 feel like everything we deliver is so consistent, like the 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.440 results and the quality of yeah, not only the product, 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.680 but the branding and the brand in general. 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.520 And I also would say like simplicity, Yes, that's what 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.840 I love about Summer. It's like it doesn't feel overwhelming. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.400 It's very like simple. And that's even why we loved 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.800 Summer because at end h we're very much it's like, 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.840 we give you the ingredients that you need and that's it. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:45.000 We're not trying to overcomplicate your routine totally. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.680 And like, when I look back even to the beginning, 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.720 that's what I'd look at. I'd look at these ingredients 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.280 and I'd be like, but why why is that chemical? 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.400 Like they don't even need to put fillers in there, like, 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.800 And it's quite interesting because when you do make like 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.560 you do those simple formulas that are effective, they naturally 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:09.480 become really high end expensive products because you're only putting 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.920 the best in them. So what I've loved through the 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.960 journey is finding out the simpler the product, the more 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:21.080 elevated it actually is. And they become so high end 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.120 because we're only using the best of the best and 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:28.000 what's needed. Only the good shit find us at Summer Skin. 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:28.480 Aug. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:36.160 All right, well, let's get into the juicy stuff and 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.920 let's actually chat about how Min Cooper became co owners 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:41.560 of Summer Skin so little. 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:48.600 I'll ask me first question, what made you want to 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:49.320 approach us? 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:54.520 And ironically, it wasn't you both, it was Georgie. 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:54.800 No. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.280 I was actually in the middle of doing the project, 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.840 which I was just I feel like people are gonna 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:02.280 believe this, but it's the truth, do you know what 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:02.680 I mean? 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:04.600 Nice, we need some evidence. 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.360 I honestly have evidence to back this up. But I 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.320 was doing the project and. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.639 Show us here enrollment. 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.119 My everything. I was manifesting, and I felt like I 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.960 started doing it because I was just really in this mph, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.440 like I felt stuck. And my cousin was like, why 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.439 don't you do Like why don't we do it together 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.880 and we can keep each other accountable and we can 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.120 just get shit done. And I was like, totally, I'm 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.440 open to everything. I'm very spiritual, I love angel numbers. 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.720 I've always been that way, so I'm very open minded 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:45.199 and was absolutely happy and excited to do it. And 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.960 one day I had just been manifesting the success of 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.880 Summer Skin. Well I'd been doing that every day, but 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.199 one day I dropped my phone and the old me 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.080 would have just been like obvious, live with a smash 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.720 phone for six months because that's me. But in everything 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.000 that I'd been changing in like my day to day 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.280 and who I wanted to show up as I was like, no, 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.440 I'm gonna go get my phone fixed today, and they 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.800 were like that's a three hour wait. And the old 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.000 me would have been like great, I'm not getting my 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.280 phone fixed. And I'm like, no, I'm going to sit 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.879 and I'm going to do some self work and just 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.479 park near a massive open reserve and just sit and 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.800 do some work on myself. And I was like sitting 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.920 listening to the potty which I'm now speaking on, which 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.879 is wild to me, and I was like, I want 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:37.160 Georgie to own summer skin with me. I want her 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.200 to invest. And I just started honestly writing this down 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:44.359 from February last year every day, like I wrote this 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.640 down every day. I still have the book. And then 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:51.560 I was like, I sent an email and I just 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:53.000 was like, I'm just gonna give a go. I'm going 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.520 to send the email. What's the worst that's going to happen. 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.760 I won't hear back. And that's because it wasn't meant 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.439 to be. It wasn't a lot, wasn't meant to happen. 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.800 Send the email. So I did. And at this point, 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.680 like I'm going in blind. I'm putting together a pitch 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:12.359 deck for myself, like on canber, like like grabbing stats 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.280 that look important. And then I was like, okay, I 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:17.639 haven't heard back. I'm going to try and make this 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.000 a little bit more open so that you know, I'm 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.840 not giving myself one option here. So I started to 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.240 change it to someone is going to invest in Summer Skin, 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.399 and strangely, the next day I had a message from 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.640 a friend saying, Hey, if you're ever open to having 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.320 an investor in Summer Skin, I'd love to hear from you. 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:41.360 And I was just like holy shit, like oh, like, yep, 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.240 the paths are opened. And I was like, let's have 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.720 coffee and chat, and I was really open in our 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:50.439 conversation that I was like, I'm not I can't one 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.439 hundred percent commit to this. I have reached out to 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:55.280 someone that I would love to be involved, and I 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.200 want to give that as much time as I can. 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.920 So it just didn't feel organic for me. I get 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:06.240 home that afternoon and I have an inbox from Georgie 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:10.479 Bloody Stephenson, and I'm like, you have got to be joking, 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.040 Like I all of a sudden just let go of 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:17.400 all control, which is obviously so important in the project, 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:19.080 and I was like, I'm just going to leave it 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.000 in the hands of the universe and stop trying to 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:25.760 control this all.
