Meet Michelle Sinclair
After watching the documentary An Inconvenient Truth, Michelle Sinclair’s life took a transformative turn. The mother of three became passionate about environmental health, making lifestyle changes for her family. “I eliminated plastic containers, switched to organic mattresses, and opted for eco-friendly cleaning supplies,” she shares. However, she struggled to find beauty products that met her high standards for safety and performance.
This led to the birth of her company, PureBeauty, in 2013, a brand committed to providing safe, effective cosmetics. Sinclair emphasizes the lack of regulation in the cosmetics industry, stating, “It’s shocking that there hasn’t been a significant federal law since 1938.” Alongside a team of 100 advocates, she traveled to Washington, D.C. to lobby for better regulations to protect consumers from harmful substances in beauty products.
PureBeauty operates primarily online and through partnerships with retailers, leveraging a network of independent consultants who share the brand’s mission. “Our message resonates best when shared personally, especially among women and mothers,” Sinclair explains.
Despite the slow process of reforming outdated laws, Sinclair remains optimistic. “With knowledge comes power, and one idea can spark a movement.”
Summary
Michelle Sinclair, founder of PureBeauty, is dedicated to transforming the beauty industry by advocating for safer products and health regulations. Inspired by environmental health concerns, she has built a community of advocates to promote change. Her work highlights the importance of consumer awareness and the need for regulatory reform.
