Dr. Dana Churchill interviews Beverlee Felekner celebrated New York stylist who readily admits that her creation of a hand fashioned collection of skin care and shampoos was born out of a greater cause. "I'm sure you have heard us Earthlings have a serious situation that we must fix as a survival imperative. Plastic carrion and wasteful beauty supplies create vast spirals of pollution, dervishes of poison containers carrying the dire predictions that oceans may contain more plastic by weight than fish. The irony is my creating Beverlee Botanicals (one more conscientious product made in the kitchen of a girlfriend's 4 story townhouse) gave me voice to convey what is important.
"We haven't it rock bottom yet but we are on the fast track. Or We can turn this mess around". - By C. Roget - Show Runner, Dr. Dana Show & Tell

Welcome to dr. Dana show and tell I'm dr. Dana Churchill
I'll be your host today, and I want to tell you a little bit about an amazing guest
We're gonna have on today. Her name is Beverly Faulkner, and she's designed
Really organic amazing cosmetic line. It just smells
Smells amazing she put some of this on my hand before I can't stop smelling it so anyway Beverly come on in and tell them all about
So I want you to tell them a little bit about your past where you were and how you got here now
But I think that's a rule. It's a story everybody loves a great story
Well, it's a long one, but I've been in the hair and skin industry for almost 10 years
I studied in London. I trained in New York I
Fractured my rib on the Amalfi Coast I needed something to stimulate my brain
So I got my diploma in the business organic skincare, and it's been a lot of time there living there
And I've noticed where's that well the Amalfi Coast where is that Sorrento, Italy, okay?
Wow is that on the water in the land of lemons nice. Yeah, so
It's very intrigued by their ingredients and formulations, and I started just playing around with different
Oils and butters and flowers there. Yeah, okay. That's right because I smelled like every perfume
It's really amazing is inspired by Italy well
Yeah, so that what you put on my hand earlier is the bougie butter, and that's your signature, right?
That's my flagship product flagship
Tell us a little bit how you make that and what how much love goes into that and what happens with this
It's a it's it's quite the formulation
It's composed of 35 different raw ingredients three different butters 18 different precious oils
essential oils plant essences
Very complex it's a body treatment. It's a hair treatment treat any kind of
Rashes or rosacea or anything like that. I have a lot of people a lot of clients that use it for a lot of different
Things it gets rid of eczema smooth spine lines
stretch marks
Have a lot of clients with more mature skin that use it on their face
People that usually get keratin treatments will bake that in and iron it into their hair
So I want to go from because you are doing just hair and you do nails and things like that hair
And I'm licensed to do nails, but I don't I've never really done now
But where you were working in the beginning was kind of toxic, right?
Yeah, there's most of those places. I see it's just the smell you could smell on the street, and it's acetone
I think it's so that's all acrylic acetone. That's probably a can't carcinogen right yes, okay?
Yes, so you were working in that and one day
You just had this well you have the injury and that kind of went into something else, right?
I've always been
I've always loved products and formulations, and I've realized that there was a lot of
Crap on the market, and I'm like I don't want to sell this I rather sell something else something
I'm more passionate about and followed your path. Yeah, that's so great
Can you tell us anybody at home about the audience at home?
What they can do to kind of renew their life a little bit or give them any any help?
I love essential oils
I think it's really important to give back to yourself and take care of yourself, and I think
Essential oils are really great internally as well as externally and can use this this is our an aging formula
It can use this internally versus not that one, but you have another line. You can use internally. Yeah
So I love to do like head detoxes with that
so
in London Indian head massages were very prevalent when I studied there and
I would make these and bring these them in the salon when I worked there and just do like a little reset in between clients
sure breathe and
Also have this at the shampoo bowls and make it more of a therapeutic spa
experience
Shampoo bowl in the in the salons when you're lying back all right right right, and they're doing your hair
Yeah, and you're sprayed on them and get a little massage. Yes. This is so cool. We need that in like every salon
Yeah, I agree
We shampoo and conditioner to Beverly Botanicals, oh really yeah, okay. Thank you for coming on yes
