A Candid Conversation with Marie Doctorchik (And the Color Green) About [Green/“Clean”] Beauty Industry Micro/Sociopolitics

This convo needed to happen. I’m sure it’s imperfect, and our thinking will evolve. Social media isn’t real discourse and it’s creating psychological damage to all of us and our interpersonal interactions (in real life and virtually). Pushing groupthink or categorical/binary thinking through provacateurism (i.e. being intentionally inflammatory or controversial) are attention grabbing strategies that have been yielding results online (by our dysfunctional metrics of what is “successful”). What’s happening in the beauty industry is simply a reflection of broader social trends. A nurse and a sociologist, both passionate beauty creators sit down to discuss why so many things are so frustrating right now.
