#021 In this episode, I interview Jane the Chemist, a cosmetic chemist known for her expertise in skincare and haircare formulation. We discuss the efficacy and safety of skincare products, the role of cosmetic chemists in the beauty industry, and the importance of understanding ingredient lists. Jane provides insights into the misconceptions surrounding ingredients, such as the demonization of certain "chemicals" and the fear of preservatives. She also shares her thoughts on popular ingredients like retinoids, sulfates, silicones, and hyaluronic acid. We chat comedogenicity, and the safety of Talc, Self Tanners and Lash Serums!Jane's Favorites:Tatcha | Indigo Overnight Repair Mask: https://go.shopmy.us/p-3547026Color Wow | Dream Coat Supernatural Spray: https://go.shopmy.us/p-3044040K18 | Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo: https://go.shopmy.us/p-3146329Olaplex | No 6: https://go.shopmy.us/p-3547070https://www.instagram.com/janethechemist/To watch the video version of this episode head to the Youtube page!Need a full skincare overhaul?
