Two Ex-MECCA Insiders Dropped a Beauty Brand, It Sold Out in 72 Hours!

Picture this: You're at the top of your game at Australia's biggest beauty retailer, then you quit to bet everything on bodycare. Not once, but twice. Sounds like a risky move, right?

When two former beauty executives leave their dream jobs to launch a bodycare brand, the industry pays attention. When that first brand sells out in 72 hours, people take notice. But when they follow it up by launching a second brand that flies off supermarket shelves nationwide? That's when you know you're dealing with serial entrepreneurs who've cracked the code.

Camille and Georgie, the founders behind Bronte and SOMA, share their journey from corporate beauty to launching two successful Australian brands. They reveal what it takes to succeed in the competitive beauty market, the personal story behind the Bronte name (featuring Camille's 99-year-old Italian grandmother), and their honest takes on cult products versus overhyped launches.

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:

Bronte Fragrance-Free Body Cleanser $17

Bronte Sea Salt Body Cleanser $17
