In this episode, Isaac discovers that to own a home care products brand, you don’t need your own production, equipment, or even your own formulas. In the modern world, you can own a restaurant without having a kitchen or a dining space. You can own a bakery without buying flour or hiring bakers.
Isaac talks to Simona Sotirovska. She and her partner Ruby run a brand of non-toxic, eco-friendly, and refillable home care products – Botanist. They started production in the kitchen and found a way to reach a large volume of production while maintaining the uniqueness and high quality of their products.
You can find all of Botanist’s safe, natural, and nice-smelling home care products here: https://www.thebotanistdubai.com/
