Send us Fan MailLet’s ChatSelom Agbitor Bio:As an immigrant, Selom has been striving for the American Dream and Mad Rabbit has helped that become a reality. In founding Mad Rabbit he was able to empower himself and write his own American Dream. Since moving to the United States as a young boy, he has always wanted to build a brand and community that serves as a thought-leader and change agent in the skincare industry. He is driven by the constant reminder of progression and empowerment with something seemingly simple, like a tattoo balm cooked-up in a college apartment. Mad Rabbit has allowed him to tell his story and exemplifies that anything is possible.Oliver Zak BioOliver has always been an entrepreneur at heart and an analytical creative with high ambitions. After getting his first tattoo he saw a gap in the tattoo aftercare space, and the lack of natural, organic skincare that specifically was designed for tattooed skin. Inspired by his father’s own entrepreneurial spirit and mother’s apothecary experience, Mad Rabbit was born initially as a single product side hustle while in college, but has turned into a full time dream. Now as the full time CEO, Oliver focuses his time on product development, sustainability, partnerships, and cultivating a community- beyond the product but a lifestyle which is so critical to the success of the brand. He is so excited to partner with his team to pioneer a new vision for tattoo skincare. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/supportSupport the Show.Follow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailLet’s ChatFor 20+ years, makeup artist Lori Taylor Davis has been turning heads with her beachy, bronzy signature look. “It’s perfected, glowy skin,” says Taylor Davis. “A little of this. A little of that. I don’t overthink it.” This California-casual cool girl draws inspo from her beloved hometown of L.A., where hyper-creative culture collides with breathtaking natural beauty. Mix that with an early affinity for her grandmother’s vanity table—a playground of blush, lashes and wigs—and you’ll understand why the “beauty junkie” gene runs deep in Taylor Davis’s DNA. Taylor Davis serves as the Global Pro Artist Lead for the camera-ready Smashbox Cosmetics, which was also born and bred in L.A. When she’s not forecasting the latest beauty trends, Taylor Davis is sharing her timeless tips through Facebook Live, on-air at HSN and behind the scenes at the MTV Video Music Awards. Taylor Davis has worked with everyone from Sandra Bullock and Bruno Mars to Rosario Dawson and Paris Hilton. Her work and go-to glam hacks have been featured around the world in WWD, Elle, More and Brides magazines. She’s appeared on “Extra,” “Good Day LA,” and—no joke—was even asked to put lipstick on a live llama (who, thanks to Taylor Davis, finally found her perfect nude).--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/supportSupport the Show.Follow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy Hosted on Acast.
