A decade ago the term gut health was greeted by confused faces. Today, it’s a multi-billion dollar industry. But back when there were few people making the gut-skin connection, Carla Oates was making a business out of it. Carla is now a pioneer of the inner beauty industry, and founder of The Beauty Chef which is on the shelves of some of the world’s biggest retailers including Net-A-Porter, Sephora, and Selfridges. It has even made its way to the belly of Meghan Markle. The company has recently received a $10 million investment from Point King Capital. Here, Carla shares her business journey, the inception of The Beauty Chef and her belief that “beauty begins in the belly”.
