A few months ago on our discord server we hosted a panel discussion with a few industry experts across the cosmetics field and tried to tackle this common claim from a formulation perspective. Formulating with naturals. Are natural ingredients inherently better in some way? What about safety? Are you always better off with the natural option? I am joined in this discussion by regulatory expert Marie Dehlinger, perfumer and all around fragrance expert Pia Long and cosmetics formulator Annalisa Branca. So without further ado we’ll let the panel introduce themselves and we’ll start with Marie. Enjoy the show. Interested in supporting the work we do? Find us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/theecowell
