Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Studying Cosmetic Chemistry, featuring Spelman College Cosmetic Science Program Director Dr. Leyte Winfield
Q: What career paths do your graduates pursue, and how do partnerships with industry enhance those outcomes?
Graduates pursue lab-based product development, formulation, safety testing, analytics, marketing, regulation, and even stylist training. Partnerships with Estee Lauder, L'Oréal, and other brands provide hands-on experiences, internships, and large-scale programs like the Black Beauty STeminist Lab Intensive to broaden opportunities beyond Spelman.
Studying Cosmetic Chemistry, featuring Spelman College Cosmetic Science Program Director Dr. Leyte Winfield
Q: To get us started, please introduce the program you lead at Spelman and its goals.
The program addresses the growing need for scientific expertise in cosmetics and personal care, combining chemistry, physics, and market understanding, with an emphasis on transparency, practical skills, and entrepreneurship to prepare students for a wide range of roles in the industry.
Smart Follower and Market Entry Strategy, featuring Beesline International Director of Business Development Omar Touma
Q: How do you start in a new market?
There is no playbook for Lebanese skincare brands entering Europe; Beesline emphasizes focus through geographic ITMA mapping, retailer heat maps, and selecting a single hero item to anchor growth and differentiation.
Smart Follower and Market Entry Strategy, featuring Beesline International Director of Business Development Omar Touma
Q: My first question for you, Omar, is beyond the ever important attributes of quality, efficacy, safety, what does your customer want to know about bee-derived ingredients?
Customers want transparency about origin, processing, and biodiversity related to bee-derived ingredients, with a focus on ethical sourcing and the ecological impact—particularly the role of wild bees and ethical beekeeping practices.
Menopause Brand Creation, featuring Womaness Co-Founder and CEO Sally Mueller
Q: What about supply chain challenges like MOQs and financing for emerging brands?
Lower minimum order quantities to enable testing and learning, paired with financing options from suppliers or new debt structures to help brands scale without tying up too much capital, and with payment terms that reflect a brand's growth trajectory.
