Episode 14: Marie Doctorchik, And the Color Green: The Intersection of Intuition and Science in Green Beauty Blogging

Today I’m in conversation with my Maui-based beauty blogging colleague and friend, Marie from And the Color Green. An RN by training and an intrepid advocate for green beauty, Marie and I start to unpack some of the dynamics surrounding the aggressive backlash against the alternative (organic/eco/green) beauty movement. Marie also discusses her beauty blogging origin story, the face mask subscription box she ran for several years, and how her multidimensional interests guide her content creation.

You can follow Marie’s work (And the Color Green) on YouTube and Instagram
Please also go check out her new project, Green Beauty Theory
