Beauties, we\u2019re passionate about supporting female-founded brands from across the world. Recently, we reached out to Greek brand Kear and their founder Ypatia Mitsatsou to talk about her clean, multi-purpose skincare brand in our latest Founders Talk<\/a> interview\u2026 let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n

<\/span>Ypatia, tell us about yourself<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

I was born in Greece and graduated from the Economic University of Athens with an Economics Major.\u00a0 Passionate about the environment, I began my career working for Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association-HELMEPA (a Non-profit and non-governmental organization founded jointly by the Greek shipping industry, seafarers, and ship owners), where I was inspired to create and run HELMEPA Junior, an environmental education programme for schoolchildren.\u00a0 The experience I gained was priceless, seeing the dedication of the younger generation to cleaner practices, and it was what gave birth to the idea of Kear and what it stands for.<\/p>\n

I then went on to work for Promidea\/I. Aravantinos LTD, an import\/export business that outsourced and customised consumer gifts for multinational brands, such as Coca-Cola and P&G.\u00a0 After also working as a Public Relations Manager for a prominent hair salon, I launched Kear in 2018.<\/p>\n

What inspired you to create your brand, Kear?\"founders
