Welcome to Woman Crush Wednesday!

This week on Woman Crush Wednesday, join Ali Evans for a conversation with April Kensington, owner of Be Pure in Carr Mill Mall.

“Well, it started in what we’ll call the conventional beauty industry,” said Kensington. “When I was in my twenties, I got this awesome phone call from my MD at the time that said, ‘don’t freak out. You have a pituitary tumor.’ Instead of freaking out, I decided to get my research glasses on and kind of figure out what that meant, why I had that, what caused it. That led to me finding out about hormone disruptors in cosmetics, skincare, haircare, nails, cleaning products, all the things, and I started looking at all the products that I was using and selling and so I spent several years just researching different brands that could be just as effective.”

Since then, Be Pure has expanded considerable, offering a wide selection of sustainable and non-toxic beauty products — along with a signature nail salon and beauty bar.

You can listen below for the full conversation between Ali and April below  — and check back next Wednesday for another introduction to some of the most amazing women in our community!
