Corinne Lefebvre is the founder of River Organics, a Top Rated brand in our Sustainable Jungle Brand Rating System. Based in North Carolina, River Organics creates vegan, cruelty-free, and plastic-free makeup made from mostly certified organic, plant-based ingredients, using lab-made, conflict-free mica and compostable packaging.
In this episode of the Sustainable Jungle Podcast, Joy speaks with Corinne about her personal journey, from art history student to beauty founder, how she’s continuing the mission she began with her late husband Fabien Scorza, and what it’s been like building a small-batch brand that is prioritizing both health and impact (an unusual combo!).
