Botanical Safety & Sustainability with Prof Monique Simmonds, Ph.D., from Kew

This week's episode featured plant scientist, Professor Monique Simmonds from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. She is my literal idol in this space, and it was such a treat to pick her brain on the topic of botanical safety and sustainability. This was an information packed convo that dove into the weeds of responsible use. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 

This week's episode is sponsored by Herbal Essences, who works closely with KEW to confirm the species and chemical composition of all the botanicals in Herbal Essences bio:renew. KEW also helps support Herbal Essences as partners by advising on sustainability to build robust supply chains that respect biodiversity and growing demand for botanicals in hair care. Thank you Herbal Essences for making this podcast possible! So grateful for the opportunity to do a one-on-one interview with Professor Simmonds!!
