Skincare is essential in keeping your skin healthy, nourished, and thriving. Some brands sacrifice the Earth’s abundance of powerful natural ingredients for non-sustainable, synthetic products that damage the planet and those who inhabit it. Thanks to trailblazing brands like Thrive Natural Care, you can enjoy rejuvenated skin that’s good for your body, the planet, and local farming communities.
Alex and his team found the resources they need in Costa Rica, including their (not so secret) weapon against sensitive and struggling skin — unique superplants, chosen for their superior skincare benefits and restorative role in local ecosystems. These potent superplants are farmed using a regenerative model that supercharges their skin benefits while restoring health to degraded ecosystems and improving the livelihood of rural farmers.
In this episode, Nicole Gregory chats with Alex McIntosh about regenerative farming, sustainable skincare, and the unique superplants that power Thrive!
