EPISODE # 5 — IN THE ROOM with Connie and Laura of Three Ships Beauty

In Episode 5, Palak sits down with Connie Lo and Laura Thompson, the co-founders of Three Ships Beauty, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, friendship, wellness, and building a beauty brand rooted in transparency and trust.

What started with two friends bonding over their shared struggle to find affordable, truly natural skincare turned into a business built from a tiny kitchen with just $4,000. Together, they began formulating products that challenged an industry filled with confusing claims and greenwashing. Connie and Laura share the story behind Three Ships Beauty, the lessons they learned while growing a nationally recognized skincare brand, and how milestones like appearing on Dragon's Den and being named to Forbes 40 Under 40 shaped their journey.

They also reflect on the values that keep them grounded, from their love of wellness, travel, and spending time with the people they love, to the personal experiences that continue to inspire their mission of making natural skincare more transparent and accessible for everyone. Through an honest and thoughtful conversation, this episode explores friendship, resilience, purpose, and what it takes to build something meaningful from the ground up.
