We’ve teamed up with 5 women who defy clichés, create legacies and are completely unafraid to start a revolution. These Alba Botanica® brand users represent everything we stand for and absolutely believe in doing beautiful in the world.
As the saying goes, if you want anything done, ask a woman 😉 When we decided to tell the stories of 5 incredible women, it came as no surprise that we found ourselves with a tribe of incredible female visionaries, directors, and writers to help bring it all to life. The Do Good. Do Beautiful. videos wouldn’t have been possible without the hard, brilliant work of the female film crew that created and produced this inspiring content. In true Alba Botanica® style, we are giving thanks where thanks are due and bringing these women out from behind the scenes.
