Episode 5 - Oscar De Vries - Oscar Natural
Father of four, caffeine, shaving & soccer aficionado. Oscar began his entrepreneurial journey in mail order, and is now living and breathing E-commerce.
The founder of OSCAR Brands, a direct-to-consumer business, selling razors and complementary skincare either on subscription or on demand.
By outsourcing assembly and fulfilment to their social enterprise partner Beehive Industries, they ensure that they seamlessly contribute to a great cause.
Beehive Industries is a not-for-profit social enterprise in Darlinghurst (Sydney) which tackles the isolation faced by Sydney Seniors, the long-term unemployed and people living with disability
By creating an inclusive environment, Beehive helps foster a sense of identity and self-worth, supporting physical and mental wellbeing, and providing a sense of purpose.
"It is a cause close to my heart. As an only child, I saw my mother in the Netherlands spending the last few years of her life in complete social isolation after the sudden death of my father. Despite frequent trips back and forth home, there is no doubt in my mind that my mother would have hugely benefited from a place like Beehive."
By partnering with Beehive, we are showing how business can combine Profit with Purpose.
Our mission now is to turn 'OSCAR' into America's most popular shave brand.... and beyond.
