Plaine Products: Redefining Beauty Sustainability with Lindsey McCoy

The Sustainable Business Spotlight

Welcome to The Sustainable Business Spotlight with Amy Auble! Some of the most significant shifts we can make in our lives to live more sustainably involve our everyday products. With this in mind, I am excited to be joined by Lindsey McCoy, co-founder and CEO of Plaine Products, which offers eco-friendly personal care products in reusable bottles. Inspired by her decade of environmental education work in the Bahamas, she created products that are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from harmful chemicals.
Many of our everyday products are filled with harmful chemicals and wrapped in single-use plastics, which have an unprecedented impact on the environment. Join us as we take a closer look at how Plaine Products is combating waste in the beauty industry and share valuable advice for both sustainable founders and consumers. Let’s dive in!
