211. CEO Chwynyn Vaughn on Creating Certified Organic Skincare for “Slow Botanicals”

Chwynyn Vaughn is the creator of Slow Botanicals, and for over 30 years she has been blending science and wise woman wisdom to create a sustainable lifestyle. With her background in midwifery and conventional healthcare, Chwynyn found a deep love for botanicals and plants that prompted her to create her fully certified-organic skincare line. Full of fresh ingredients and essential oils, Chwynyn takes advantage of her herbal knowledge to make botanical skin creams, shampoos, shave soaps, and bars that all come from her organic regenerative garden. Chwynyn discusses her lifestyle and business, as well as the quarter-acre plot where she lives along with her husband and children. You will walk away inspired by her approach to planting by the season, taking inspiration from the Earth, and the beauty of using natural products to heal our bodies.
