There are few issues as important as the climate crisis. To ensure our planet is preserved and looked after for future generations, there is an urgent need for all of us to try to consume less, recycle more and educate others on how they, too, can do their part. With the beauty industry one of the largest contributors to landfill in the world, we, here at Gritty Pretty, know how important it is to get expert advice on this issue. In this episode, we introduce you to our newly appointed sustainability editor, Lottie Dalziel. As the founder of Banish, a digital educational forum for people looking to learn more about how they can do their part to protect the environment, Lottie's passion for sustainability is admirable. In today's episode we chat to Lottie about the challenges she faced as a young entrepreneur, the beauty ingredients everyone should be avoiding and, because she's the newest member of the Gritty Pretty team, her budget and bougie products of the week.

Six years on and Votary is renowned for its luxurious, vegan formulas that come housed in sustainable packaging. From taking the leap of faith to start her own business to the importance of sustainability and the makeup tips (and products) she thinks everyone should know about, the trio chatted about everything and anything during this episode.
