When Miranda Kerr was just 16, her mother’s cancer diagnosis became a turning point prompting her to look closely at what she was putting in and on her body. That moment sparked a lifelong passion for holistic health and organic living, ultimately becoming the seed for KORA Organics. As a supermodel, Miranda spent years in the makeup chair—constantly exposed to products that prioritized quick results over clean ingredients. Frustrated by the lack of skincare that was both certified organic and truly effective, she decided to create her own. After three years of collaboration with leading chemists in the natural space, KORA launched in 2009 with a bold mission: to deliver high-performance skincare powered by uncompromised ingredients and grounded in wellness. Every formula meets the strictest global standards and is supercharged with antioxidants—thanks to sustainable harvesting methods that are kinder to your skin and the planet. Today, KORA is available in over 40 countries and remains rooted in Miranda’s original vision: skincare that supports your glow, inside and out. In this episode, Miranda also discusses: * Inspired by noni fruit & her grandma’s natural remedies * Infusing products with rose quartz for energy & intention * Being fully certified organic, not just “clean”  * Uses plant-based retinol alternatives like bakuchiol & acai * Self-funding the brand and being deeply involved in every product * The importance of consistency in your routine * Having the brand stand alone without her attachment * Fun fact, Miranda writes her own copy!

Alli Webb, the visionary stylist behind Drybar, has reimagined her own hair journey and now invites us all to do the same with Messy. After selling Drybar in 2020 and experiencing personal upheaval, she began growing out her natural waves and fell in love with embracing imperfections. Messy isn't just a product line, it’s a manifesto that celebrates natural texture and a kinder, more sustainable approach to styling, rooted in what Webb calls the “Messy Revolution”. Powered by the Rough Dry Method, a heat-reduced styling technique designed to honor each person’s natural hair without the damage of traditional blowouts, the line is designed to work with your hair, not against it. More than a beauty brand, Messy is personal for Alli, born from her own transformation after loss, stress, an identity shift, and grounded in authenticity and self-love. In this episode, Alli also discusses: * How personal loss, growth, and healing led her to embrace imperfection * Drybar was all about polished, picture-perfect blowouts. Messy is the opposite—real, raw, and effortless * Her signature “messy” technique and why it’s better for your hair (I’m still trying to master it) * How Messy is helping to dismantle outdated beauty standards one strand at a time * The mindset shift that celebrates your natural hair, exactly as it is * Launching in Sephora on 6/24 We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Alli’s journey and the growth of www.itsmessy.com [https://itsmessy.com/].
