52: Why do we love French beauty? | Alex Chantecaille, VP at Chantecaille Beauté

Clean Beauty School

“For me, beauty has always been the feeling of being cared for. Those early memories of beauty were like a warm hug from grandma after a long, luxurious bath. As I got older, it was about playing with these beautiful things and makeup," says Alex Chantecaille, VP at Chantecaille Beauté. “It’s that balance between cared and health, but also this joy.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen’s beauty director Alexandra Engler chats with Alex Chantecaille about growing up surrounded by the French beauty ethos, developing effective skin care formulas, and why the beauty industry must prioritize conservation.
