Today, I’m chatting with Tisha Thompson, a veteran in the clean beauty space. She started as a makeup artist in the early 2000s and spent most of her career working with PÜR Cosmetics in Atlanta. Tisha started with the brand as a marketing manager in 2007 before becoming vice president of marketing and innovation in 2012. While she was there, she was committed to diversifying clean beauty and was the driving force behind PUR Cosmetics' 100-shade foundation collection.
Throughout her career, Tisha has noticed this perpetuated myth that clean, non-toxic ingredients, deep shade ranges, and high-performance products could not coexist. Wanting to put this idea to rest, Thompson decided to leave her job and launch LYS Beauty earlier this year. And right out the gate, she’s made history as Sephora's first Black-owned clean color cosmetics brand.
During our conversation, we chat about when her interest in beauty began, climbing the ranks at PUR Cosmetics, and building LYS Beauty. Keep listening to hear from Tisha and I hope you enjoy the episode.
