In today’s society, the significance of cosmetic chemists like Greenwood cannot be overstated since they use their knowledge of chemistry to develop, test, and improve products that improve consumers’ appearance and well-being. To make sure beauty products are safe and effective, they use a thorough understanding of chemical constituents, their interactions, and how they affect skin and hair.
Greenwood is renowned for her creativity, formulas, and outstanding results. She employs unusual ingredients and formulas that are made up of 94% to 100% natural botanical components.
Greenwood is the Founder and CEO of the well-known skincare companies Roccoco Botanicals and Sage and Clay. Roccoco Botanicals is a multimillion-dollar beauty company that offers botanical skincare treatments for all skin types, with an emphasis on sensitive skin and acne. Based in Yatala, Queensland, Roccoco Botanicals manufactures products from ethical sources for both domestic and foreign consumers.
In 2022, the company was the first professional skin care brand in the world to win the Alle Award in New York, which was previously known as the Research and Development Awards. To date, the company has been the only Australian brand to get this honor. This accolade honors cosmetic ingenuity and innovation.
Because of Sage and Clay and Roccoco Botanicals’ rapid growth and widespread recognition, Greenwood has become a model for female entrepreneurship, which is the ideal approach for women to obtain economic empowerment and autonomy.
In addition to her outstanding career as a cosmetic chemist and entrepreneur, Greenwood has made a name for herself as a speaker, coach, and author.
She is the best-selling author of the book Just Go For It: How to Build a Multimillion-Dollar Business Without Paid Advertising. In this book, she describes how she went from failure to the fastest-growing cosmetics firm in Asia-Pacific. She describes the exact steps and strategies she used to grow a multimillion-dollar business internationally. In today’s fiercely competitive business world, entrepreneurs may expand their organization or brand by implementing these simple yet effective tactics.
In the beauty sector, Greenwood is also in high demand as a speaker and educator. She has given lectures and trained several skincare professionals.
There are too many achievements for Greenwood to mention them all here. She and her firms have won numerous national and international awards, such as the Allē Award in New York in 2022 for her 7-in-1 Ruby Crystal Cleanser, inclusion on the AFR’s Fast 100 list in 2021, the Financial Times’ 2022 and 2023 recognition as an Asia Pacific Fastest growing company, the 2023 Women Changing the World Awards, the 2023 Most Influential Woman from the Australian Small Business Champion Awards, and a ranking of 43rd among Australia’s fastest-growing exporters in the Australian Financial Review’s 2023 Global Fast list.
For women in particular, same-gender role models may significantly impact career growth by increasing motivation, self-confidence, and a sense of possibility in achieving career objectives. Seeing strong women like Greenwood succeed in the highly competitive workplace of today may encourage young women to set high goals and overcome obstacles.
