On She Built It®, Kate Assaraf shares how she created Dip Sustainable Hair Care, a beauty brand designed to challenge the traditional beauty industry model of constant consumption. Instead of encouraging people to buy more, Dip promotes a different philosophy: buy better, buy less, and shop small.
Kate talks about building a purpose-driven brand that blends environmental awareness with playful education, the realities of creating sustainable beauty products, and why transparency and authenticity matter more than perfection. Kate is part of a growing movement of founders redefining beauty entrepreneurship through sustainability, honesty, and thoughtful product design.
This conversation explores what it means to build a brand that aligns business growth with environmental responsibility, and how founders can challenge industry norms while staying true to their mission.
