On My Radar
Beauty, business, culture, and the things worth knowing.
A rotating edit of what I’m reading across beauty, business, packaging, culture, and what is changing next.
Sustainability + sourcing
Sustainable cosmetic packaging is getting closer to home
North American manufacturing, PCR, mono-materials, refill systems and traceability are becoming part of the beauty strategy—not an afterthought.

Mono-materials are on a mission
Why PP, PE, PET and HDPE—and the way components work together—matter when brands design for recyclability.

Why beauty minis are hotter than ever
Sampling is becoming product: travel packs, discovery sets, routines, premium minis and smarter small-format packaging.

About
Meet Lisa
I love beauty. All of it. Skincare, fragrance, makeup, beautiful packaging, the stories behind the products, and those little things that simply make you smile.
But what I love most about beauty has always been the people.
I’ve spent more than twenty years in this industry, and some of my favorite moments are simply meeting people and getting to know the beauty in all of us.
Because beauty, to me, has never been just about the product.
Beauty is a feeling. It’s about how it makes you feel.
So, welcome to my little home on the internet.
This is where I share the things I love, the things I’m learning, the things I’m reading, and the things I think are worth knowing. From skincare and fragrance to packaging, beauty business, interesting articles, and whatever happens to catch my eye.
Look around. Stay awhile. If you see something you like, I hope you’ll come back.
And please, reach out and say hello. I’d love to meet you.
Lisa Florian.
