Our guest is a true visionary who began her journey in beauty while she was still a student at Howard University, crafting her first DIY skincare products right in her dorm room. Fast forward to today, she’s the founder and creative force behind Mary Louise Cosmetics, a brand celebrated for its commitment to clean beauty and its focus on intergenerational beauty practices. I’m talking about none other than Akilah Releford Gould.
In our conversation, Akilah opens up about her early experiences that sparked the creation of Mary Louise Cosmetics, including the influence of her father, Dr. Bill Releford, on her entrepreneurial journey. We also dive into how she seamlessly incorporates ingredients from Bloom Ranch, the largest Black-owned ranch in Los Angeles County, into her products, and the significance of clean beauty in her brand.
But that’s not all! Akilah shares exciting news about her latest venture, Lucky Girl Rosé, and how she balances being a new mom with running a successful beauty empire. Plus, she gives us a sneak peek into what’s next for Mary Louise Cosmetics, and of course, she couldn’t leave without sharing her personal skincare, makeup, and haircare routines.

Welcome to Hello Beauty, the podcast where we dive deep into the world of beauty, wellness, and the innovative minds that are reshaping how we think about self-care. I'm your host, Joyce Platon, and today, we're exploring a fascinating intersection where home environment meets skincare, and how tweaking our surroundings can revolutionize our beauty routines.
In this episode, we have the pleasure of hosting two visionary guests from Canopy, a brand that's pioneering a new category in the market by merging home products with beauty. Lucas Lappe, the Co-Founder, and Eric Neher, the Chief Marketing Officer, join us to unveil the story behind Canopy's inception, their journey to finding a unique white space in the market, and how they're addressing one of the most overlooked yet crucial aspects of skincare - humidity.
With the launch of their new Portable Humidifier, Canopy is not just promising healthier, more hydrated skin but is also redefining beauty norms, emphasizing that sometimes, the best skincare hacks come from where we least expect them. And here's a fun fact to ponder: While the optimal humidity levels for healthy skin range between 40-60%, the relative humidity in a plane can drop as low as 5%. Imagine the impact on your skin during travel!
So, how does maintaining optimal humidity levels at home and on-the-go change the game for skincare? And what inspired Canopy to create a product that's now becoming a must-have for beauty enthusiasts and travelers alike?
Stay tuned as Lucas and Eric share their insights on innovation, the importance of environmental factors in skincare, and how Canopy is setting new standards for beauty and wellness.
