Ep 11, Adrien de Bontin: Maison/Made, Biodynamic Skincare

Maison/Made is a Biodynamic Certified Skincare Company. It is a combination of the horticultural expertise of Adrien, and the formulation talents of his wife, Carolina.  Carolina, a trained cosmetic formulator and herbalist, is responsible for all product development and the creative aspects of the brand. As a former fashion and beauty journalist in her home country of Argentina, she joined the illustrious Bureau Betak as Communications Director upon moving to New York. Seeing firsthand the misuse of raw materials created by the fashion industry, she sought to dedicate herself to an endeavor that creates a net positive impact on the planet. Her keen awareness of sustainable product development and sophisticated formulations drive the intentionality and thoughtfulness of the brand.  With Biodynamic farming in his family’s history, Adrien manages the garden, as well as all supply chain logistics and exclusive partnerships with Biodynamic farms and producers. A world citizen, he has worked in sustainable asset management and land conservation across 3 continents, later earning an MBA from Columbia University with a focus on sustainable entrepreneurship. In addition to supply chain, he helps define the business strategy and execution, ensuring Maison/Made maintains its place at the crossroads of luxury and sustainability.You can find Maison/Made at Maisonmade.co
