Franchine Young Ireland
They are an emerging organic brand with a passion for reconnecting people with clean and plant based ingredients. They have a desire to create a brand that means well at every stage, protecting people, animals and our environment.
There is an ‘ugly’ truth inside the Beauty Industry that simply has to change. Single use plastics, toxic ingredients, greenwashing, animal cruelty and a complete disregard for people, animals and our planet for many years. Many people are unaware that most products may contain ingredients known as Endocrine Disruptors, (EDCs). Recent evidence suggests exposure to EDCs is associated with early onset menopause. Marketing messaging continues to focus on unrealistic images of beauty that have resulted in anxiety, low self-esteem, and low self-confidence in many women, as well as affecting the hormonal journey. It’s time to take a stand, to challenge the large corporations and to provide solutions and alternative options for conscious consumers.
Franchine Young Ireland is an emerging organic brand with a passion for pure ingredients, simplified skin care and a desire to protect people, animals and our environment.
Organic, plant based and cruelty free and they believe passionately in taking less from our earth, a minimalist approach to skincare. We believe in doing ‘no harm’ in the complete life cycle of our products – from Field to Face ® they have created a simplistic and effective skincare routine, Mother Nature’s Method®.
They are passionate about health and exposure to unnecessary chemicals and processes within the beauty industry. They seek to create innovative products that simplify, excel in caring for the skin without harming anyone or thing, including our earth, in the process. They look forward to meeting like minded volunteers that can bring skills and experience in all areas of the business to growing the brand.
Role Description
-
