In this episode, Nada sits down with Rose-Marie to discuss how she started her clean makeup brand RMS Beauty. Despite eating clean, a medical examination found Rose-Marie had been exposed to harmful chemicals found in beauty products. As a result, she started mixing clean ingredients and using them on the models she worked with, eventually resulting in RMS beauty products. In addition to sharing her why, Rose-Marie shares how she launched her business and the significant setbacks she had to overcome. She opens up about her insistence on not taking capital in her early years and why she changed her mind as the company matured.
