The first dissolvable make up wipe: Conserving Beauty with Natassia Nicolao

HOSTS Maddy Guest & Sophie Dicker|14 March, 2023

Listen On

Building a successful business requires hard work and dedication, but the returns can be far greater than traditional investments like the stock market. It’s 20 years of work for an overnight success. As more of us are looking to add ‘entrepreneur’ to our resumes, we wanted to talk to some women who’ve dreamed and made successful businesses. As fellow hustlers, we want to learn from the challenges they faced and the lessons they have taken away.

Today we chat with the incredibly impressive Natassia Nicolao about her journey building Conserving Beauty. From creating samples in a lab to landing a Mecca contract and having Elle McPherson join her board, Natassia’s dedication and commitment to her values has led to a successful and eco-friendly business. We hear about the lessons she learned – including perseverance, hiring in areas you’re weak, and building a strong brand identity – loyal to your ethics and impact.

Check out Natassia and Conserving Beauty here.

  • Maddy Guest

    Maddy Guest

    Maddy lives in Melbourne, works in finance, but had no idea about investing until she started recently. Her favourite things to do are watching the Hawks play on weekends, reading books, and she says she's happiest, 'when eating pasta with a glass of wine'. Maddy began her investing journey when she started earning a full time income and found myself reading about the benefits of compound interest in the Barefoot Investor. Her mind was blown, and she started just before the pandemic crash in 2020. What's her investing goal? To be financially independent for the rest of her life, and make decisions without being overly stressed about money.

    Sophie lives in Melbourne, and enjoys playing sport, and then drinking red wine immediately after finishing sport. She works in finance, but honestly had no idea about investing until her partner encouraged her to start. She says, 'my interest has only taken off from there - I find it exciting… I mean who doesn’t like watching their money grow?' Her investing goal is to build the freedom to do things that she's passionate about - whether it be start a business, donate to causes close to her, or to take time out of the workforce to start a family. Right now, there’s no specific goal, she just wants to have the freedom when she'll need it.
