The Truth About Sustainable Beauty with AORA Mexico Founder Nour Tayara

4/24/202635 min

This week, we’re joined by Nour Tayara, founder of AORA and a beauty industry veteran on a mission to make beauty plastic-free. After nearly two decades at L’Oréal, Nour pulls back the curtain on what he learned about waste, overconsumption, and the myths we’ve been sold about “luxury” packaging. We get into how AORA is rethinking sustainability from the ground up, why Mexico is central to the brand’s story (and how to do that respectfully), plus the real data behind building a purpose-driven beauty brand.

She said use it three times a week, and it's been just very fresh on my skin. And I have right now her new sunscreen, the purple one.
