Unlocking the Power of Authenticity: Daisy Jing’s Journey with Banish

In a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Show, we had the privilege of speaking with Daisy Jing, the founder and CEO of Banish. Daisy’s story is a masterclass in turning vulnerability into a thriving business, driven by authenticity and a relentless focus on solving real problems.

From Vulnerability to Virality

Daisy’s journey began with a deeply personal battle: acne. Sharing her struggles openly on YouTube, she published a raw and heartfelt video titled “Growing Up Ugly.” To her surprise, the video resonated deeply with viewers, amassing significant attention and starting meaningful conversations. This vulnerability laid the foundation for her YouTube channel, where she tested skincare products, shared insights, and ultimately created her own natural, cruelty-free formulations.

Building a Community Before a Brand

What sets Daisy apart is her audience-first approach. Before launching her product line, she spent years building trust and educating her audience. Her DIY blackhead removal video, which now boasts over 10 million views, is a testament to her relatable and engaging content. This trust became the cornerstone of Banish, which offers freshly made skincare products designed for sensitive, acne-prone skin.

Lessons in Leadership and Branding

Daisy candidly discussed the challenges of balancing the roles of influencer and CEO. Early in her journey, she stepped back from the brand’s forefront, but she soon realized her personal connection with the audience was irreplaceable. Her story and imperfections became a vital part of Banish’s identity, proving that transparency and relatability foster deeper brand loyalty.

Freshness and Sustainability at the Core

Banish’s commitment to quality is evident in every step. Products are made fresh to order, shipped directly from their office, and crafted with clean, natural ingredients. This approach ensures the highest level of purity and efficacy while maintaining control over the end-to-end customer experience.
