Women Crushing It Wednesday: Precious Drew

Drew's business "Perk: The Natural Beauty Lab" uses grounds from a MN coffee shop to create beauty products.

Coffee grounds finding new life – on your face?

That’s the mission behind “Perk: The Natural Beauty Lab”, co-founded by 22-year-old Precious Drew of Brooklyn Center.

“Perk” is taking used coffee grounds from Clemens Perk Coffee Shop in the St. Cloud area and using them to create what they call a “Perk Up Coffee Scrub” face mask.

“We’re taking a waste product that would be thrown away, go into land fills, that would really negatively impact the environment - and we’re prolonging the life size of it,” Drew says, referring to the coffee grounds that they’re using.

Drew is part of the Finnovation Lab fellowship, which is a fellowship that allows entrepreneurs to explore and grow their ideas.
