- Gregg Renfrew (Founder & CEO, Beautycounter) spoke at the 2014 Nantucket Project.
About The Nantucket Project
The Nantucket Project is one of the world’s great gatherings, each year hosting preeminent thinkers, leaders and innovators in a wide range of fields.
We focus on the intersection of art and commerce - one fueled by passion, the other by reason. In every organization - whether it’s a business, a philanthropy or a creative endeavor - those two forces jostle to achieve the right balance.
In the process, values are determined. We believe TNP is the only event of its kind that rigorously examines those values.
I've known this for years but am in shock that the government doesn't care about us at all
I want to become a professional makeup artist but the amount of toxicity and lies that has been spread in cosmetic brands is far more than I can fathom. I am sick of not knowing what's actually in my products and it hurts me even more knowing that it's harming us, human beings and animals. I don't want to become a part of an industry that has no care in the world but to sell there recycled garbage of chemical based materials. We need to redefine was true beauty is, we are the people who need to make the change happen. It will not come from the government. It will not come from authority. It has to come from us.
+Samantha Derrick I'm pretty sure your "catty type" leads to "toxicity in the work place" not his "gay" type...
That was uncalled for and you were entirely wrong about everything you just said. I don't care how long ago your comment was. Leave him alone.
I work for a company who sells safe products including cosmetics, check it out

Karie-Ann Thorkelson The ingredients list on some of those things are absurd.
Tony - you should definitely become more familiar with the Beautycounter brand. We are one of the only companies taking safety and performance of products to the extent that we are. Every single ingredient in our products is listed and we created a list of over 1500 ingredients that we will never use in our products. Check our NEVER LIST against the ingredients in what you're currently using. www.beautycounter.com/en-ca/the-never-list/
Christy Coleman was one of the first make-up artists in the US who wanted to "green" up her kit. She is an amazing asset to Beautycounter as our Head of Innovation so you can rest assured that our products are not only safe, but extremely high performing. :)
A must watch for everyone. She is so correct.
That was really moving and informative and empowering! I'm so glad to be a part of this Beauty Counter movement!!!
This video was instrumental in my decision to join Beautycounter!

Knowledge is power. Thank you for allowing me to a partner in this journey!
This is awesome
Love this business lady!
I love it

I would like to hear your sources for the statistics you gave on cancer, etc. I didn't hear you tell where you obtained your numbers. I may have missed it.
Good video!
Nivea, I believe was a Finnish product, sold in America, lumene as well.
I am not a blonde this year! It is a relief really!
What do you expect? I don't mean to be pessimistic, but if you did tell people the truth how many would honestly stop using the toxic stuff? Some people would rationalize it by stating that they don't feel any physical harm from it. As a nation we like certain things, sometimes cheap but often times fast. By the time some people learn the consequences it is too late to reverse the damage.
Taura Helms You are right, people prioritize looks over healthy practices. However I heard about this in the 90's and only wear makeup a couple times a year. People think I'm weird but they also think I'm 10 years younger than I really am. It does not pay to be vain, in fact why pay to give yourself wrinkles then pay for a product to smooth them out later? It may be socially acceptable but it doesn't mean that I have to join in. Some people listen to the warnings, but many women are insecure and feel the need to interact with the world from behind a mask of toxic chemicals.
Where can I find the never list
Can I have a link to the "never list"?

Is there any stage of your production that your products are tested on animals...not only the finished product?
Hi. Figured I would answer your questions. Here is from the FAQ on the Beautycounter website. Beautycounter does not test any of our products on animals, nor do we ask others to do so. We do not have our own manufacturing facility; we contract with several independent formulators. These formulators also do not conduct animal testing.
I would love to help you learn more about Beautycounter. I will be on Nantucket mid July or you can contact me through my site: karenpearl.beautycounter.com
Narcissism is evil idolatry
Can I order products from Beautycounter if i live in Sweden?
+MariaPhantomW if you live in Sweden you have safe products in your country. The EU is fine. It's the US that doesn't have the regulation.
MariaPhantomW yes you can

Nice speech... nothing worldshattering of course. So what's in it for the speaker? I'm wary of anyone starting a speech mentioning that she has a "company"

arlene macias look up www.ewg.org
Allergic to Orange :(
How beautiful, a plethora of such white faces!
Because we black women use "the butters"!
One would think that the Nob Polishing Democrats would be all over this issue, a long time ago, Seeing how they claim to care So, so, much for all people, ...and All!

How do you wash your clothes?
Sunscreen! are you immune??
I totally get what she's talking about and think is it's very important BUT all the people are in a high SES Caucasian group and she's not markering to everyone!
Hi Stina! Not sure if you have checked out our recent videos and marketing material - I think you will be impressed and pleased:)
Misleading, you don't need a new law for the regulatory agencies to ban ingredients. Not saying the FDA is doing a great job, but a new law is not the issue. Science requires more than anecdotal examples. This is a marketing video
the lady should become vegan XD
I stopped listening after EUROPEAN UNION.
