Megan Larsen is the Founder of Australian skincare company Sodashi. She is an inspiration to anyone who is not prepared to do things the ‘cookiecutter’ way, or accept things as being good enough simply because that’s the way they have always been. Her pioneering approach to chemical-free skincare has paid dividends, with her ‘chemical-free’ brand, Sodashi, stocked in luxury hotels and spas across the globe.
