Ep. 196: Building A Resilient Glow-Worthy Skincare Brand

Friends in Beauty Podcast

On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Laurencia Burt to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Brooklyn Sky Collection is one such brand. The founder Laurencia Burt struggled with homelessness as a child where her and her family sometimes slept in churches and even their car. This fueled her passion to become a social worker as an adult. She wanted to be the person she needed as a child. She went on to get married, have children and thrive.

Just when Laurencia thought that life traumas were over she was sexually assaulted at work. Due to the way in which she was treated by her company after reporting the assault, Laurencia decided she needed to build a brand so that her children and others would never be stuck in an unhealthy, toxic or unkind work environment. Thus Brooklyn Sky Collection was born.

Due to her resilience and hard work, she was able to get her products into GNC stores. She did this by simply walking in a store and pitching her products with no prior knowledge of retail and no previous relationship with the company. This shows her determination to win.

Laurencia has done extensive research to understand the anatomy of skin and the best practices for glow-worthy skincare. The Brooklyn Sky Skincare Collection features ingredients that can easily be understood, so there’s no second guessing your choice to use the products. This collection features healthy and chemical free items for every part of your body.
