In this episode, DamDam founders Giselle Go and Philippe Terrien share the story behind their modern Japanese skincare brand rooted in purity, craftsmanship, and care. After years in the fashion world, Giselle faced severe skin issues that no existing products could fix—until she and Philippe began exploring Japan’s natural ingredients and ancient beauty rituals. Their shared love for Japanese culture and its connection to nature inspired them to create DamDam, a skincare line made with whole, locally sourced ingredients that healed Giselle’s skin and continue to support local farmers across Japan. They open up about their journey as co-founders, how they built a brand grounded in sustainability and authenticity, and what it means to create beauty products that truly honor both people and the planet.
