We are celebrating our 18th episode of Smile and Pod by releasing our interview with one of New Zealand's brightest business stars.Brianne West is the founder and CEO of Ethique, the world's first zero waste beauty brand. She started Ethique by literally making shampoo and conditioner bars in her kitchen in Christchurch, and has since been named one of the 100 top global thinkers by the US Foreign Policy Magazine.Brianne was also named 2019 New Zealand Young Entrepreneur of the Year. With over 5 million plastic bottles now eliminated through Ethique's products, Brianne is vowing to not stop there.And not only is Ethique ethical, they donate 20 percent of the company's profit to environmental charities, their products are hands down amazing. You won't want to go back to the bottle after trying them. Brianne is direct, driven and determined, and you'll love her attitude to life and business.
