Georgie Gilbert & Camille Peressini | Founders of SOMA & Bronte
Former Mecca execs Georgie Gilbert and Camille Peressini had access to just about every luxury body care brand on the market.

Both Georgie and Camille knew, however, that the supermarket body care offering
Lucy Vincent | Founder of sans [ceuticals]
In episode 146 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the founder of sans [ceuticals], Lucy Vincent.

Bree Johnson (Returns) | Co Founder of Frank Body
In episode 143 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks once again to the co founder of Frank Body, Bree Johnson.

Frances was diagnosed with a Basa
Gem on Business, Beauty, and Botox
Six years in and it’s time for my first solo episode. The botox bit is clickbait. Hi! Gem here. This is probably the most honest and open I’ve been about a bunch of things on the internet.

Jose Bryce Smith | Founder of O&M
In episode 137 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the founder of O&M, Jose Bryce Smith.

Dr Jacqueline Beltz | Founder of OKKIYO
In episode 134 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the OKKIYO, Dr Jacqueline Beltz.

Never;
Shamini Rajarethnam | CEO of Rationale
In episode 131 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the CEO of Rationale, Shamini Rajarethnam.Despite Rationale having been founded in 1992, Shamini and I agreed that it does still feel like an insider’s brand to an extent.

Lindy Klim | Founder of Fig Femme
In episode 130 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the founder of Fig Femme, Lindy Klim.I don’t really think Lindy Klim needs an introduction, however I can say fairly confidently that this interview does show a side to Lindy that I’m not so sure the general public will have seen before, despite her having spent over 25 years in the public eye. Lindy has founded not one bu

Jo Malone CBE | Founder of Jo Loves
When I first started planning season 1 of this podcast, that I thought would be a mini series, back in 2018, I wrote a list of dream guests- bucket list, beauty industry stalwarts whose brains I wanted to pick. Jo Malone was, of course, on that list, and on her most recent trip to Australia last month, we made it happen.Jo’s story is unlike any other, and while we all know her name, I don’t believ
James Vivian | Founder of Viviology
In episode 127 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the founder of Viviology, James Vivian.When I connect with someone over a love of beauty, whether it’s on this podcast or away from it, the thread or the through line always comes back to a feeling.

Ashli Templer | Founder of Yours Only
In episode 126 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the founder of Yours Only, Ashli Templer.We obviously talk a lot on this podcast about identifying a gap for a product and developing out of a really genuine need, and I think the Yours Only story is probably one of the best examples of that that we’ve covered across all 6 seasons.Ash grew up, in her words, “not being able to e
Adrian Norris | Founder of IKKARI
In episode 125 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the founder of IKKARI, Adrian Norris.I have thought Adrian Norris to be one of the most interesting brand founders in the country for many, many years now, since he co founded fashion house Aje in 2008, and I have loved watching him enter the beauty space upon founding skincare and wellness brand IKKARI last year.There’s so muc

Thibaud Crivelli | Founder of Maison Crivelli

Alessia & Marco Angele | Founders of Sunset Daze
In episode 122 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the founders of Sunset Daze, Alessia and Marco Angele.What I love about talking to founders at this stage in their brand’s development (for context, Sunset Daze launched their first product, Liquid Rays, in December of 2022) is that all the really tactile bits that come with a launch are still so fresh in their minds- they’re n
Lev Glazman & Alina Roytberg | Founders of Fresh
In episode 121 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the founders of Fresh, Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg.This is one of the best founder stories I’ve heard in over 5 years of hosting this podcast.

Martine Ho | Co Founder of Sunnies Face

Stacey Hollands | Founder of Lust Minerals
In episode 119 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts talks to the founder of Lust Minerals, Stacey Hollands.If you’d told a teenage Stacey Hollands that she’d one day be the founder of the country’s biggest mineral makeup brand, I don’t think she’d have doubted you for a second.

Samantha Brett | Founder of Naked Sundays
In episode 115 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts talks to the founder of Naked Sundays, Samantha Brett.Samantha Brett has always loved beauty but, despite a brief stint as a beauty writer during an internship, she only ever wanted to be a news reporter.

Georgia Danos | CEO & Founder of Gem
