797 Genevieve Dolan: Founder & CEO of Golden Child Beauty
Fri Feb 06 2026
On today’s episode, we welcome Genevieve Dolan, Founder & CEO of Golden Child Beauty — the modern skincare brand built around balance, simplicity, and supporting skin through real life.
Genevieve’s path to building Golden Child Beauty was shaped by years of navigating cystic acne, prescription treatments, and extremes that often left her skin — and confidence — worse off. Instead of launching an overwhelming routine, she chose a radically restrained approach: a simple system designed to calm, hydrate, and support the skin barrier, while working alongside stress, seasonal changes, and even dermatologist-prescribed treatments.
In this episode, Genevieve shares why doing less can actually create better results, how emotional trust plays a role in skincare, and what it takes to build products people rely on — not just physically, but emotionally. We talk about restraint in a hype-driven industry, transparency, product compatibility, and how to scale a brand without losing its intention. A thoughtful conversation for founders, operators, and anyone rethinking how skincare — and self-care — can feel more supportive and human.
