In this guest series episode of “What Beauty Founders Don’t Know” (formerly JumpStart Beauty Brand), I spoke to the super-intelligent and an accomplished CPG veteran & founder of Better Not Younger, Sonsoles Gonzalez, on a mission to disrupt the hair care category for aging women!

Sonsoles had led globally renowned hair and body care brands with corporate giants like Loreal and P&G, and found her calling while questioning the same, repetitive creative brief targeting women aged between 18 and 44 years, and decided to turn her inquisition into a brand, heralding a moment of change in women's hair care & the whole mass media narrative around aging!
