The Interview —

Karen Behnke, CEO and Founder of Juice Beauty

CEO and Founder of Juice Beauty

As founder and CEO of organic and eco-chic skincare and cosmetics company, Juice Beauty, Karen Behnke is changing the face of sustainable cosmetics. Karen developed a keen interest in personal care products upon becoming pregnant with her first child at the age of 40 and was astounded to learn that, although the skin absorbs over 60 percent of what is placed on it, there were very few available healthy personal care products that worked well. Karen realized there was a void in the market for safe, effective beauty products. Since she couldn’t find anything that worked for her, Karen created her own company: Juice Beauty. Follow Karen on Instagram at @juicebeautykaren and @juicebeauty.
