Anna Mitsios – Founder, CEO

What is your favourite Edible Beauty product?
I tend to suffer from redness on my cheeks and always struggled to find a cleansing milk which cleans the skin and prevents breakouts, but which also keeps the skin hydrated and soft. This is why our No.1 Belle Frais Cleansing Milk is an absolute essential in my regime. I love the nourishing oils, and fruit extracts in this product- a perfect balance of pure hydrating oils and cleansing / brightening natural AHAs.

What you are most excited about?
I am so excited about the process of building a beautiful community of like minded individuals interested in health, beauty and wellness! This truly makes my heart sing as I can see the benefit of so much wisdom, confidence and love being shared across our customers. I am also always excited about people’s skin transformation! It is truly what drives me – the more I can do to empower others to naturally transform their skin the more fulfilled and content I feel!

What is your best sustainability tip?
Create a goal for your daily waste – eg work to having a medium size shopping bag of waste daily and then reduce it further. You will be surprised at how motivated you become to reduce single use plastic and start upcycling all of your packaging!

What is your favourite inside beauty tip?
Start the day with a couple of cups of herbal tea and set yourself a daily goals of veggies and greens – I work towards three of each. These two things will keep your skin, hormones and vitality in perfect function!

What is your best tip for an instant glow?
I love blending our Basking Beauty Sunscreen with my mineral powder, applying with a brush and then finishing with a dab of Snowflower Illuminating Face oil across my cheek bones! This is such a simple yet easy way to create a beautiful sun-kissed look whilst protecting your skin.

Daisy Thompson – Marketing Associate

What is your favourite Edible Beauty product?

At the moment, my favourite is the Green Goddess Lip Oil! I used to suffer from constantly dry, chapped lips, and no amount of balm would soothe them! Since using the lip oil my lips feel so hydrated and soft, and I don’t feel the need to reapply a balm every 2 minutes!

What does your typical day look like?

I’m a very busy bee during the week. I get up at 4:45 am and head to the gym, then back home at 6:30 to get ready to commute to work. No two days are the same at Edible Beauty! My days can consist of planning social media content, working with influencers, putting together email campaigns, writing blog posts, the list goes on! After work, I usually go for a walk at the beach, and then I'm in bed by 9:30!

What is your best sustainability tip?

My best sustainability tip is to plan your meals, and only buy as much as you need! So much fresh produce can go to waste if you are not planning out your meals for the week. We always plan our meals, and usually have one day a week where we have a ‘throw together meal’ using any leftover veggies that we may have otherwise thrown out!

What is your best tip for an instant glow?

My best tip for an instant glow would be the Snowflower Illuminating Face Oil! I love using this one directly under my foundation to give me that ‘lit from within’ glow. I also love applying the Green Goddess Lip Oil to the high points of my cheekbones before I apply a powder highlighter to really make it pop!

Michelle Phillpot – Operations & Accounts Manager

What is your favourite Edible Beauty product?

I have been road testing a new Edible Beauty product that is coming soon – I can’t reveal too much but it is the most incredible hydrator and makes my skin feel so soft and smooth!

What does your typical day look like?

I normally wake up at 7 am to get to the gym. It makes me feel more vibrant and energised for the day and I feel I can tackle anything that comes my way. I make a healthy salad for lunch and get ready to go into work. The day can be so varied depending on what is going on – I could be working on new product timeframes, ordering products, working on accounts, dealing with customers and suppliers or even road-testing new products. There is never a dull moment. I then get home, walk the dogs and get dinner ready for three hungry (grown up) kids and my husband!

What is your best sustainability tip?

Always shop at farmers markets or green grocers if you can to reduce your use of single-use plastic packaging.

What is your best tip for an instant glow?

I have been loving drinking the Native Collagen Powder and the Beauty Dew every day in a shot water. I love how my skin has been feeling since I have gotten into this routine. I have really noticed that my redness and mild rosacea has eased up!

Simone Lavis – Customer Service and Community Manager

What is your favourite Edible Beauty product?

My favourite skincare product is our Snowflower Illuminating Face Oil as I have naturally quiet dry skin, I feel as though this hydrates my skin all day long and the glow is phenomenal. My favourite wellness product is our Beauty Dew, having stronger and healthier hair, skin and nails is a big goal of mine and since using this product I have seen so much growth.  

What does your typical day look like?

Wake up 6:30-7am. Drink my morning beauty dew on the balcony while I get some fresh air. Morning skincare routine and getting ready for my day. Work ❤ Outdoor power walk, nothing beats getting outside and it also doubles up as a great time to call my friends and family. I love moving my body in all forms including weights, pilates, playing in sports teams, running, interval training and yoga. Making a healthy dinner for myself and my partner. I enjoy this time in the kitchen as cooking is a big passion of mine. My night time skincare routine. Reading a self-development book, currently reading “Girl wash your face” by Rachel Hollis or unwind in front of the TV. Bed 11pm.

What is your best sustainability tip?

I have so many sustainability tips but as an avid coffee drinker I must say always carrying a keep cup with you while out on the go.

What is your best tip for an instant glow?

Radiating confidence and using our & Snowflower Illuminating Face Oil – apply 3-4 drops in the morning will give you an instant glow that will last all day.

Julie Mitsios – Brand Education and Training

What is your favourite Edible Beauty product?

I cannot live without the No.3 Exotic Goddess Serum. I have used so many antioxidant serums in my time but this one is a stand out, I love the scent and texture along with the dewy finish it leaves my skin.

What does your typical day look like?

I love waking up at 5 am as find I can pack so much more into my day this way. I have made meditation part of my daily practice and feel my day is not the same if I do not get this in. I love having a green smoothie for breakfast. Depending on the day, I may be going into the EB warehouse, training a retailer on site or working on my own projects, focused on creating delicious plant-based foods.

What you are most excited about?

I am very excited about continuing to spread the word on Edible Beauty products and creating beautiful nourishing recipes using plant-based foods. I am also excited about people beginning to travel and gather again as love sharing my raw food cooking skills with the community.

What is your best sustainability tip?

I am a huge believer in sustainability. I am a minimalist so love buying things that do not have excessive packaging and make us much of my food as possible. I also upcycle all of my skincare packaging and ensure that when I am cooking with plant-based foods I use as much of the fruit/vegetable/nut as possible! An awesome example is making a nut milk and then using the nut pulp to make delicious cookies.

Nikki Pretorius – Senior Designer

What is your favourite Edible Beauty product?

The Turmeric Beauty Latte Serum keeps my skin clear. It's help with my congestion, clogged pores and balances my skin so it doesn't look greasy.

What does your typical day look like?

Get up, make breakfast and get ready for work. It's a fun and busy day with designing campaigns. I try to workout after my workday and get dinner ready. My husband and I catch up over dinner. In the evenings we will either go for a walk, watch our favourite shows or I’ll relax and read.

What you are most excited about?

I love cooking and trying new recipes and cookbooks. I'm all about clean eating and my favourite chef is Yotam Ottolenghi.

What is your best sustainability tip?

I’ll always choose walking over driving or public transport.

What is your best tip for an instant glow?

I love my Gua Sha beauty tool. It helps make my skin look radiant and reduces puffiness. I use the No. 3 Exotic Goddess Ageless Serum, which gives me a radiant glow. The Vitamin C from the Kakudu Plum makes my skin look so much brighter.

Dimitrios Mitsios – Warehouse Manager

What is your favourite Edible Beauty product?

I have to say this is a close tie between the No. 1 Green Goddess Detox tea and the No.4 Golden Glow Tea. I am religious about having a cup of each every day. They are the perfect mid-morning pick me up after my cup of coffee in the morning.

What does your typical day look like?

I am a very early morning riser. I wake at about 5 am to head out for a short walk then come back home to tend my orchids. I have been growing these for the past 30 years and have over 3,000 now! I definitely find this time spent in nature to be so nurturing. I head into work at about 8 am and normally have a full day of packing, unloading, organising or kitting products. Spending time with my grandson during the day is definitely a highlight. I have taught him some basic kitting now so might be out of a job soon!

What am I looking forward to?

I cannot wait for the next stage of business growth. We have been working so hard over the past year to improve everything about what we do and how we do it. It will be wonderful to see the results of our hard work come into fruition.
