Ep. #119 Join me for another episode of Pursuit of Wellness as I uncover the secrets to radiant skin and luscious hair with Kristina and Sara, founders of Vitaclean. It all started when a peculiar sludge problem in their London shower led them to explore the unsettling effects of hard water on beauty routines and the importance of effective filtration solutions. I share my own battles with hard water in Austin and London and how Vitaclean’s innovative three-layer filtration system has been a game-changer for my skincare and hair care. We talk about entrepreneurship and the challenges of being a female owned company. Kristina and Sara share their own journeys, from securing their first round of funding to the rewarding experiences of working together. Tune in to today’s episode for a breadth of knowledge about water quality, and for a special chance to win a Vitaclean kit!
