In this episode of Skincare Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta welcomed Dr. Kate Viola, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Lady Polpo, to discuss skincare during pregnancy and the development of Lady Polpo's pregnancy-safe products. Dr. Viola's journey to dermatology began in general surgery, but her passion for patient interaction led her to dermatology, where she focused on skin health and patient care.The idea for Lady Polpo emerged during Dr. Viola's own pregnancy when she realized there was a lack of safe skincare options for pregnant women. This inspired her to create a brand prioritizing safety, efficacy, and simplicity. Pregnancy brings significant hormonal changes that can affect the skin, causing issues like increased oil production, melasma, and heightened sensitivity. Dr. Viola emphasized the need for skincare products that cater to these changes while ensuring safety for both mother and baby.Creating pregnancy-safe skincare is challenging due to the lack of clear guidelines on "clean" or "natural" products. Dr. Viola collaborated with experts to develop a comprehensive list of safe ingredients, ensuring they do not penetrate beyond the epidermis. Dr. Viola also stressed the importance of ingredient transparency, noting that many products marketed as "natural" can still contain allergens. Lady Polpo's commitment to using only pregnancy-safe ingredients ensures consumers can trust their products. Be sure to subscribe to Skincare Anarchy on your preferred platform and explore more about Lady Polpo on their website and social media.

Join us as we host Dr. Yug Varma, co-founder of Phyla, who shared the scientific journey and innovative solutions behind the brand. Dr. Varma's extensive knowledge of phage technology and microbiome research, combined with his academic background, led to the creation of Phyla. He identified a significant gap in acne treatment, noting that most existing solutions are based on outdated technologies. This realization, coupled with a desire to innovate in a stagnant market, fueled his mission to develop a novel approach to acne care.Dr. Varma highlighted the limitations of traditional acne treatments, such as benzoyl peroxide, Accutane, and retinoids. These treatments often come with side effects and are not always effective in the long term. He emphasized the need for more advanced and targeted solutions, pointing out that the current market fails to address the root causes of acne effectively. Central to Phyla's innovation is phage technology. Dr. Varma explained that phages, or bacteriophages, are viruses that specifically target and kill bacteria. Research has shown that phages targeting C-acnes bacteria are more prevalent on healthy skin than acne-prone skin. This insight led to the development of Phyla's products, which utilize phages to selectively target and eliminate acne-causing bacteria without disturbing the beneficial bacteria on the skin.Dr. Varma reassured listeners that phages are less likely to induce resistance compared to antibiotics. Phyla's extensive testing has shown that their phages do not quickly induce resistance, making them a robust solution for long-term acne management. He discussed the effectiveness of Phyla's products, noting that they deliver results relatively quickly. For hormonal acne, improvements can be seen within days or a week. For cystic acne, the technology gradually rebalances the microbiome, reducing inflammation and preventing relapses. This targeted approach minimizes side effects and provides a sustainable solution for acne sufferers. Dr. Varma advocates for a minimalist approach to skincare, focusing on key products that promote skin health without overwhelming the consumer. Phyla offers a streamlined product line, emphasizing quality and efficacy over quantity.Tune in to learn more!Explore PHYLA Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us for a deep dive into the necessity for pre procedure and post procedure skincare with double board certified Dermatologist , Dr Heather Rogers. We dive into the recent rebranding and new packaging upgrade and how Doctor Rogers Skincare is proving itself to be a strong contender in the clutter of the current skin health industry by relying on tried and true ingredients meant to heal rather than exacerbate the delicate balance of the skin’s natural physiology. Dr. Rogers' first love is practicing medicine, but after decades of seeing widespread confusion about skin care she wanted to be a voice of reason in the beauty industry. She started challenging misleading claims and sharing her unbiased recommendations on YouTube, Instagram, and her blog. Unlike other influencers, she will not do sponsored ads. Her recommendations are based solely on her extensive research and clinical experience. Unusual in this frankness, she quickly became a trusted expert for beauty editors with regular features in national press.A constant challenge was finding effectiveproducts to recommend to her patients and the press for sensitive and aging skin. The options were the old guard of hypoallergenic, but not sustainable products versus the new “clean” brands claiming sustainability, but using more fragrance and other common allergens that sensitive skin cannot tolerate. Driven to meet this need, Dr. Rogers created her namesake line of fewer, expertly formulated products that are simultaneously effective, safe and sustainable. Support the showFollow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy

In this episode we sat down with the founder of SOTERI SKIN, Rafal Pielak to discuss the true problem at the root of eczema prone skin and how he decided to take matters into his own well trained hands when his wife was diagnosed with the skin condition. With a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences and chemistry from Harvard Medical School, Rafal was uniquely qualified to find a solution. After much research, he found the culprit: unbalanced skin pH.pH is critical for skin health but environmental factors such as hard water, cleansing, UV, pollution, and common skincare and cosmetic products often throw pH off balance. This isn’t too much of a problem when your skin is healthy—but it can be a nightmare for sensitive skin that’s prone to eczema, psoriasis, or other chronic skin conditions.Rafal speaks on all topics related to skin pH and how big of a difference it can make for consumers with even normal skin to have products geared towards the root cause.Support the showFollow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy

Join us for a perfect hair day as we sit down with Frederic Fekkai, founder of his iconic hair care range that has been creating and inspiring beautiful hair since its inception! FEKKAI originated at the salon in 1989, when there was the lack of high-quality hair care products at the time - in particular, color care. Women were leaving the salon with beautiful hair color and returning with faded, oxidized colored hair in a matter of weeks. That inspired him to create Technician Color, which has always remained a favorite. Professional luxury hair hair care didn’t exist - there was a gap in the prestige market, particularly in areas like color care, and saw an opportunity to offer solutions that were missing at the time. From the start it has always been about the skinification of hair care, the sensorality of the formulations and the experience using the product matched with unprecedented professional results. Frédéric embarked on a journey that fused innovation with expertise. Frédéric’s style is inspired by the French way of life - it is about capturing the beauty of each individual person, however effortlessly chic, working with the natural hair they have. He dared to transcend boundaries and carve out his own niche.The French influence does not end with just the Parisian style - Being from Aix-en-Provence, he was inspired to create a brand that uses simple natural ingredients we find in French heritage, like Olive Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Shea Butter.At the heart of the produt line lies a synergy between the most high-quality natural ingredients and groundbreaking formula innovation in clean science. Frédéric and the FEKKAI stylists test each formula on actual clients in the salons. The products extend beyond functionality; they encompass an entire sensory experience. From the delightful aroma to the luxurious textures and the captivating sensation during application, every aspect is meticulously designed to create a holistic experience that embodies our luxurious salon experience in every use.As a brand deeply rooted in luxury and heritage, next year will be FEKKAI’s 35th anniversary. Frederic and the team are digging into the archives and bringing back the initial brand DNA and codes of the past.

In this episode we sat down with the founder of the revolutionary new brand that is targeting consumer needs with single use products that focus on efficacy and creating autonomy for various skin health needs. Onélogy™ reinvents skincare products in tablet-to-gel format to deliver peak potency, minus the waste. Just add water before use, apply on the skin like any serum.Meet Megadose™: a revolutionary, patent-pending, line of targeted serums that delivers a fresh daily dose of clinically-proven ingredients, suitable for all skin types. Unlike traditional liquid serums, each Megadose™ serum  comes as pre-dosed, waterless tablets meant to be rehydrated with water right before application. This new delivery system is highly shelf-stable (6+ years) and versatile — making it ideal for use at home or on-the-go.MISSION STATEMENT Reinventing skin-health through innovative technologies and earth-oriented solutions.FOUNDER’S BIO AND MISSION French-born founder, Roxana, developed contact dermatitis in 2019 from US versions of products she used to buy back in France. She spent a decade advertising beauty brands for a living, yet found  herself lost and confused. When visiting a dermatologist didn’t make sense financially, she eventually found-out both product versions had different formulas, among other things. Not only do pre mixed products not work (the average bottled skincare loses 50% of efficacy in just 60 days) — they are also killing the planet (120B+ Packaging waste is produced yearly). To solve this, she was  convinced she had to reinvent how skincare is created and experienced. In 2020, she created Onélogy with a simple mission: deliver the highest level of efficacy for all skin types — without compromise  on sustainability or price.“B.S claims, fear-tactics and lack of fact-checking within the industry did not sit right with me — from a consumer and professional perspective. More than ever, I was convinced I needed less, more efficient  products that were kind to the Earth and true to their words. I founded Onélogy to write a more truthful story from beginning to end — starting by reinventing how products are created and experienced.  Through evidence-based and transparent practices, we create skincare that brings confidence to those who use it, with the conviction that skin health can be delivered without fear.” FUN FACTS All products are made in France at a Pharmaceutical lab — not private or white label cosmetic manufacturer! This means we are EU complient and follow pharma grade protocols & raw materials, on top  of being vegan & cruelty-free.

Join us for a deep dive into the molecular science of anti aging with the brilliant mind behind the innovative brand MDAiRE , Dr Stefani Kappel MD. This episode focuses on the uniquely intricate science of aging down to the major molecular pathways involved including those targeted by the MDAiRE range of products. Dr Kappel talks to us all about the details of ARE and how she utilized the details of understanding its mechanism of action while creating her incredibly efficacious brand. ARE is an acronym for an important signal transduction pathway in the skin. It stands for the Antioxidant Response Element (ARE). The “i” in science represents “the induction of". Hence AIRE represents the activation of this powerful anti-aging pathway. Inducing this key anti-aging pathway results in the transcription and translation of protective genes that play a major role in the anti-aging process. Activation of the AIRE pathway protects skin cells from oxidative stress which remains one of the best etiologies to explain the mechanism of aging.  Dr. Kappel is a board certified, and double fellowship trained Dermatologist and Mohs Micrographic Surgeon with an active practice in Newport Beach California. She has over 15 years of experience in practicing Dermatology and studying the skin. She has a Medical Degree from UC Irvine and completed her residency in Dermatology at UCLA.

Join us for an amazing episode with the founders of MOTHER SCIENCE, a revolutionary new skincare brand that is utilizing the power of a naturally occurring, and endemic yeast of everyone’s natural skin flora, known as Malasezzia Furfur and its miraculous byproduct Malasezzin, to combat signs of hyperpigmentation, as well as combat free oxygen radicals often treated with ingredients much less efficacious such as vitamin C. Mike Einziger, founding guitarist of the rock band Incubus, and renowned violinist Ann Marie Simpson-Einziger have always been enthralled with science. Mike studied it at Harvard, and Ann Marie majored in biology at UVA and later taught physics and chemistry. So when Ann Marie developed a harmless skin condition while on tour in 2016 that led to lightened patches of skin on her back, she got very curious. Could whatever caused them be used to intentionally reduce the look of dark spots on the face? The couple assembled a team of leading scientists and over six years, uncovered the power of Malassezin, a naturally-occurring molecule found on skin. They were able to recreate Malassezin through biotechnology, and harness it to develop a revolutionary serum.In this episode we explore the vision behind why MOTHER SCIENCE was created and the clinically significant results the brand has been able to achieve with their serum thus far! Support the showFollow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy

Welcome back for another amazing episode of Skincare Anarchy, summer edition! A 20-year business veteran as a tech consultant and college professor, with three degrees (2 Master’s and 2 in business), specializing in Continuous Quality Improvement, Suzannah Raff created Cleo+Coco with Continuous Quality Improvement embedded into its culture. I started Cleo+Coco because I was frustrated that the natural personal care products available to me didn't work. Like many of you, while I was pregnant and nursing, I was especially careful with the ingredients that I was putting onto my body. So I began by perfecting the most important product, aluminum-free deodorant, and quickly added our body powder/dry shampoo because other areas of our bodies required effective sweat and odor absorbing products too. Today, I am still cautious with the ingredients I put onto my pre-teen and teen children’s bodies. So when we formulate our products, we are meticulous about the safety of our ingredients and have the highest standards of safety and efficacy. You deserve personal care that actually works and that is authentically safe. No green-washing when it comes to the health of my family, and that includes you the Cleo+Coco customer family. Today, we offer a full range of safe, super effective personal care products that smell amazing. And unlike our competition, those amazing scents never come from hormone disrupting synthetic fragrances – we only ever use high quality and expensive therapeutic essential oils to create our irresistible and mood boosting scents – because smelling good should never come at a sacrifice to your health. Named for Clean+Confident and for Cleopatra who is famously known for using Charcoal and Coconuts in her beauty routine, Cleo+Coco was born. Suzannah sees Cleo+Coco as a way to pour passion and creativity into improving people's health and pleasure, as well as a way to be a role model to her daughters and women everywhere. Ultimately transforming an industry traditionally focused only on profits to one focused on well being. Because real success comes by doing good and right in the world. Your support of Cleo+Coco by using her products in your everyday routine, demonstrates that every minute of every day. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

A passionate entrepreneur and scientist, a fierce advocate for transparency, Dr. V. demystifies the trends and myths in the health and wellness space, the dos and don'ts. She talks about the chemistry of everyday life and how the environment, our lifestyle, and the product we consume affect our health and that of our planet; the good, the bad, and the wasteful. Dr. Mireille Vega became a chemist & member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) because she struggled with her skin as a teenager. It took her daughter’s own struggles, 30 years later, to converge all her studies and experience together and sort out exactly why the before/after approach to caring for our skin’s specific type doesn’t quite work. She developed an innovative adaptative approach to meet the skin and its microbiota’s changing needs, while aligning with her values of sustainability, healthy and mindful living. She attended McGill University, where she graduated in biochemistry and went on to complete a Ph.D. in Biotechnology where she worked with microbial extracts and fermentation. At the time she felt something was missing to develop skincare that was both natural and effective. She went on to work on the scientific development of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. She has also made clinical developments in various therapeutic spaces including skin cancers (melanoma, carcinoma) and inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis. While working in immunology, Dr. Vega noticed that microbiome discoveries were emerging. She began researching and integrating the skin microbiome into her work. To her, this was the missing link in the ecosystem of skincare. Dr. Vega took her scientific experiences, knowledge and passion to create a long thought of brand known as VGAM Biome. #skincare #cosmeticchemist #skinaffirmations #skincareroutine --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

We have hyaluronic acid which is ultra hydrating and keeps the hydration in the skin… from there we move on to balancing that pH so we have vitamin c in there which does a phenomenal job. ” ” We need to make products that make people feel like cleansing is self care… It isn’t something you need to do to get to your skincare, it is the first step in your skincare, and it should feel really lovely while doing it. ” “More than thinking about men or women specifically it was how do we make the best product for skin.

They met in a New York hotel as Historically Black College students and Ivy League alumni through their affiliation with the Jackie Robinson Foundation Scholarship program over 30 years ago. They never imagined they would be business partners one day for a natural skincare line they would create themselves. Before launching their partnership, they were former, successful corporate MBAs who generated millions in revenue for Fortune 100 companies. Eventually, they each found themselves unemployed, underemployed, and just tired of not having their own at the onset of the pandemic. These friends empowered themselves with their own “Black Girl Magic” and launched a direct-to-consumer skincare line. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Kasia is the founder and CEO of Buffalo Gal Organics, an organic skincare + wellness brand from Buffalo NY. She is a medicinal chemist and graduated from SUNY Buffalo “too many years ago to count ☺️.” In her own words, “I started out in working for a local chemistry research lab and specialized anti cancer research, after many years in the industry I fell down the holistic and organic rabbit hole and the rest they would say, is herstory. After learning about the crazy amount of toxic chemicals in traditional skincare, I decided to start my own brand, Buffalo Gal Organics in 2010 because our area did not have the quality, organic and plant based alternatives that I was seeking for myself and my young daughters. Buffalo Gal was born out of a need in the industry and a personal need to help the skincare sensitivities of my friends and family. Fast forward to today, the small dream of helping others clean up their skincare act has lead to an amazing community of customers (who many of which are now are friends), astute practitioners that work from our cooperative Beauty Boutique in Williamsville, to national brand partners that carry our skincare and organic teas all over the world. Personally, I’m a bit of a spiritual gal and through the years have become a certified Holistic Health Coach, Certified Crystal and chakra energy healer, Reiki Master and intuitive tarot reader.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Join us for a chat with the founder of @michalmorrisonskincare as she shares the story behind the creation of the Genesis βSTEM6TM Molecular Serum, which aims to define and lead a new category of biomimetic skincare technology with its proven, proprietary, and patent-pending βSTEM6 molecule. This biotech breakthrough has a mechanism of action validated by 25 years of research in stem cell science and regenerative medicine from the laboratory of Dr. Michael Kahn. The βSTEM6 molecule will be exclusively available in Michal Morrison products. The company was founded by Austin-based entrepreneur Michal Ann Morrison, who previously survived a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2016 and has since become a passionate advocate for people with disabilities. βSTEM6 is a nextgen, patent-pending ‘metamoleculeTM’ that restores the self-rejuvenating power of our skin that has diminished over time. The result of over two decades of research in regenerative medicine and recent advances in stem cell science, βSTEM6 uses your biology’s inherent potential to extend cell longevity. As the first and only bioserum with βSTEM6, this molecular superpower works with the skin’s chemistry to awaken the millions of cells responsible for healthy-looking skin. A formal and independent clinical study was conducted by one of the country’s preeminent board-certified dermatologists and President of Dermatology Consulting Services, PLLC, Dr. Zoe Draelos, M.D. The study demonstrated dramatic improvements in the multiple signs of skin aging such as facial lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity and uneven pigmentation. The inspiration for the development of the company’s proprietary and patent-pending intellectual property, the βSTEM6 molecule, was Michal’s association with Dr. Fuqiang Ruan, an innovative scientist with a doctorate in Synthetic Organic Chemistry who had previously worked in Dr. Kahn’s laboratory. Dr. Michael Kahn is currently Professor of Cancer Biology and Molecular Medicine at the Beckman Research Institute, City of Hope. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

“I am so excited to introduce you guys to someone I truly consider to be a rising star in the skincare realm. She is educated and one of the most NON-MESSY scientists when it comes to her knowledge and dedication. Absolutely obsessed. Also her line is phenomenal which doesn’t hurt !” - Dr Ekta “I'm a cosmetic formulation chemist who, after years of product development for tons of other brands, quit my job to start a skincare line called Educated Mess. While working in formulation, I was always fascinated to learn about new ingredient technologies and delivery systems, but found it frustrating that the brands I was working with seemed to care more about marketing buzzwords than product efficacy- there was such a disconnect between the chemist and the consumer. Together with my business partner Catherine, we started Educated Mess and hope to provide top notch products while bridging the marketing gap that seems to exist throughout the beauty industry. No BS, no marketing fluff and greenwashing- just real, science-backed ingredients and formulas. In my efforts to spread the word about Educated Mess via TikTok, I found another skincare-related passion in helping others interpret ingredient lists and make informed decisions when buying skincare products, and that's been even more fun than I could have expected. I hope to continue to help others better understand skincare without overcomplicating things the way that the internet has allowed for too long.” Alex Padgett, Founder of EDUCATED MESS --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

In this episode, Sarah dives into the details around creating a truly organic and clean brand and how the evolution of this niche of skincare has come with hurdles and challenges that very few can say they have kept up with.

In the words of the brand , “James and Lynn have a passion for haircare that is unmatched -- an unwavering commitment to formulate clean haircare products that hydrate like nothing else for the past decade (which is how long it took to create MASAMI's clean formulation).

Youthforia was launched by Fiona Co Chan in 2021. The idea for Youthforia came about right when COVID hit. Perhaps it was the inability to go out and see people, but Fiona kept coming back to this idea that the best part of wearing makeup is going out with your friends and sometimes that means forgetting to take your makeup off. She really wanted makeup that was good for your skin, so good you could sleep in it. During the development of Youthforia, Fiona slept in all of the lab samples (and recruited her husband to sleep in them too) and woke up with much better skin. It completely changed her beauty routine philosophy - makeup is an extension of skincare. And sleeping in lab samples is a huge part of the Youthforia testing process. Above all, we love caring for your skin - we truly believe that makeup should be good for your skin. She's also passionate about Green Chemistry and not using fossil fuels and it's a big pillar of the Youthforia formulation philosophy, because most makeup contains liquid microplastic and she just didn't want to do that. Fiona was recognized by Byrdie Eco Awards as a Eco Beauty Hero and a Disruptor. She likes making beautiful makeup that has a unique spin on existing categories while being friendly to the planet and being good for skin. Basically, the entire Youthforia brand is just a collection of things she finds interesting to work on and is all about inspiring fun and being with your friends. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Although the term was coined by us after exploring Annabell’s line, it is no doubt that every product has been crafted with the most pristine craftsmanship and thought. SIMPURE started from a line of efficacious deodorant products and then expanded its range to cover the multitude of skin health battles consumers face of the daily. Annabell describes her line as a merger of science and nature and we must agree that it truly brings the efficacy of both realms together in an elegant way.

Join us for a deep dive into the cult favorite line, REN as we interview their global brand ambassador David Delport. David Delport’s 15 plus year career with REN really began upon contracting malaria following a year of charity work in Kenya. David had moved to London as an 18 year old, waltzing right into Harrods and asking for a job in beauty. From there he was headhunted by Trish McEvoy, and later industry icons Laura Mercier and NARS where his passion for beauty only grew- however, after some years in artistry and education, David felt burnt out and compelled to take a year’s leave from the industry or risk growing disillusioned by it. He spent that year in Kenya working with a charity and conducting field research relating to HIV studies and health care within East Africa, before contracting malaria and being forced to return home to the UK to recover. In 2005, while looking for part time employment, as this was all he could commit to due to ill health, a friend introduced him to the REN brand. David fell in love with the brand, became hooked on the products, and was then invited to work casually with the brand.

Happy customers will always want to use and buy a product again and will share their positive experience with their friends. For us it’s the most fulfilling way of building an authentic brand and awareness.From day one it was important for us how our brand looks like on Instagram as well as on other social media and sales channels like Amazon, how people review our products, what influencers and most importantly our community would say about our brand and its values. Seeing our customers smile just makes us smile, too. Authenticity and spreading positivity is as important to us as product quality. We always aimed for something much deeper in our brand value system, in the DIY beauty products we offer, in the good course we’re supporting with our feel good female fragrance line (LOVE AND KINDNESS PROJECT foundation) as well as who we get on board of our diverse team.

Her position in the industry has allowed her to try nearly every product, treatment and beauty/health offering on the market. Her initial interest in plant-based skincare came about as she searched for a more holistic and natural approach to her wellness routine. But navigating the “natural” landscape was tricky, most products seemed small batch and untrustworthy, with no branding or reliable history. “They were the type of products I hid away in my medicine cabinet.” Said Marie. (Far far away from the beautiful #shelfie photos that frequent her social media accounts.) “But they were working. It really was CBD specifically that made me believe in the power of plant-based wellness and skincare.” Shea knew that if she was looking for beautiful trustworthy products in the space, others would be too and set out to build a brand whose mission is to create clean and functional products that truly make you feel like your best self. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Skincare Hygiene Never place dropper DIRECTLY onto skin Why? Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, and Proteus spp. are the predominant Gram-negative organisms found on the skin. Most bacteria that are listed here grow in a moist environment. Therefore, logic dictates that when you apply a dropper directly to the skin and pick up even one or two of these bacteria on the tip and then put that same dropper back into your skincare vial, the likelihood of them contaminating and multiplying in the mixture is high. Most skincare e products contain ingredients like natural sugars or glycerin and even water which are all mediums that can grow these gram negative rods. However, these are not the only bacteria found on skin. Depending on the location and environment of the skin’s micro environment, various pathogens are prominent in different areas. Some of the most common concerns that can arise due to poor skincare hygiene are: Acne Contact dermatitis Bacterial rashes Breakdown of the immune barrier leading to opportunistic infections by viruses or fungi So what should you do to practice better skincare hygiene? Use your dropper to dispense desired amount of product directly into your palm, making sure to not make contact directly with skin. Also, cleaning the dropper tip with a sterile alcohol wipe is not a bad idea (DO NOT RINSE UNDER TAP WATER). Allow the dropper to air dry (5-10 seconds) and reinsert into vial. Skin health is a very tricky area of science and with an increasing awareness of the micro biome, it is important to understand how bacteria grow and function. Also, do not share skincare with friends and others to help avoid the spread of any contact related reactions. It’s just like makeup- sharing lipsticks is looked down upon and so should sharing droppers. We all have a unique micro biome working to protect our skin and therefore it is important to utilize these common safety measures to ensure and also rule out any causes of certain skin pathologies like contact dermatitis or a rash. This also helps provide more information for your dermatologist if something goes wrong so that they know you’ve been practicing good hygiene habits and can avoid redundancies in patient history. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

SKINCAREANARCHY gets users 20% off their first order. "I believe in the healing power of plants and the alignment of internal health and true beauty. I started my company Copina Co. to share nature's most potent and powerful plant botanicals with all and to further the conversation around plant-based solutions in our lives. The thing that inspired me to start Copina Co. was my own experience with years of acne and gut health issues as well as with the harsh medications that never cured them. Finally healing my body through herbal and holistic medicine taught me about the healing power of plants and how our skin health and internal health are intertwined. I sought the help of herbalists to find plant-based and vegan alternatives to typical collagen supplements after seeing how prevalent these animal-derived products were on the market and knowing that plants could provide a sustainable solution. Our products work by using plant botanicals that help support your body's own natural collagen production for lasting hair, skin, and nail benefits - all without the use of animal products. I've always believed that in order for healthy or sustainable alternatives to stick, they have to be fun, easy, and enjoyable. That's why I built my products around our community's daily routines and added our collagen-supporting botanicals to delicious lattes, creamers, and hot cocoas. Starting my business has been the most challenging, but also the most rewarding experience of my life. The fact that this is just the beginning excites and inspires me." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Training under makeup artist Bobbi Brown in New York in the early 2000s, Sarah learned the importance of prioritizing skin. Her career brought her to Los Angeles as a celebrity and editorial makeup artist, and it was here her emphasis on beautiful, nourished skin continued to unfold. When Sarah couldn’t find the right products, she began blending her own creations - ones that worked great on their own or layered beautifully with makeup. From cultivating a calming ritual before a client’s big moment, to being a busy mom, she craved beautiful formulas that were easy to use. Borrowing the best of nature, her very own balms and botanical oils came together, and now we get to share LULA with you.

“In 2018, my father was treated for skin cancer. Unfortunately, he was not alone. He was one of 30 million Americans who are currently skin cancer survivors.

The problem was, most sunscreens, well, you know...they were too greasy, or the ingredients would irritate their eyes. Or worst of all, they would show up white in their beard.

“LULAAV was born in the valleys of the Fertile Crescent, a region known for its mineral-rich soil, abundant harvests, and penetrating, nutrient-dense botanics. And its women, born from this land, luminous skin, legendary for their strength and beauty. Here, women celebrated their heritage, passing on timeless beauty secrets to their daughters. Skin care recipes blending the most exquisite and potent botanicals, and time-honored beauty rituals to regenerate and glorify complexions, giving skin its optimal vitality. These very beauty secrets were passed on to LULAAV founder Shira Tabib by her Persian grandmother. Raised in New York, Shira spent summers with her grandmother in a small farming village in Israel. It was in her family’s gardens, where Shira was introduced to the skin curative properties of cold pressed botanicals that her ancestors had revered for generations – date fruit extract as the cherished elixir for promoting radiant skin; plum and apricot oils to rejuvenate skin’s vitality; papaya and watermelon seeds for their potent restorative qualities. And the roses, a foundational hero ingredient…there were always roses with their omnipresent aroma. After years of searching fruitlessly to find an organic beauty regimen that captured the rituals and efficacy of her grandmother’s timeless formulas, Shira began methodically crafting her own skin care products. The reputation of her products’ uncompromised quality, purity and nutritional potency spread quickly. In creating LULAAV, Shira sought to honor the timeless beauty wisdom of her heritage, while using only the very finest botanicals, inspired by, and sourced from the Fertile Crescent.

Lune Martens has had a lifelong journey to skin health, suffering with acne, rosacea and peri-oral dermatitis since childhood - which came back with a vengeance at 21 years old. Lune tried every method she could to help her extremely reactive and sensitive acne prone skin, visiting multiple doctors, dermatologists and experts and was about to go onto roaccutane but decided she wanted to try a more gentle, holistic approach. Lune saw nutritionists and allergy experts who helped her to diagnose her skin's triggers and put her onto a healthier path - which, over time, completely healed her skin. During this time, and beyond until now, Lune was never able to find a brand for 'temperamental' or sensitive skin, which was also an enjoyable and luxury experience. Most of the brands targeted to acne are aimed at teenagers, or are pharmaceutical, medical or harsh and do not give an enjoyable skincare regimen. Monday Muse has been formulated for reactive, acne/rosacea and sensitive skin in mind using only the most natural and high quality ingredients which are as true to their natural form as possible, ensuring the chance of reaction is at absolute minimum. Independently formulated in the UK with a leading chemist, without fragrance or essential oils, the formulas are light, fresh and a joy to apply to skin.

Brand Co-Founder, Dr. Iris Rubin, M.D., is a board-certified dermatologist with laser and cosmetic fellowship training, a graduate of Harvard Medical School and former pediatric laser surgeon at Children’s National Medical Center. SEEN was born from Iris’ experience with breakouts as it related to her personal hair care use. Deciding that she (and her patients) shouldn’t have to choose between great hair and great skin, she holistically re- thought the formulation process for hair care. “As a dermatologist, I saw patients struggle with breakouts – including the anxiety and insecurity that comes with them. The worst? When nothing seems to work and we can’t get to the root of the issue. This got personal when I noticed frequent breakouts after salon visits. I did my research and traced them back to a surprising source: the hair products the salon used.” “I like to fix things – and this needed fixing. Rather than throwing prescriptions at the problem, we wanted to actually find a solution. With SEEN, we’ve created a line that’s truly good for skin while delivering great looking hair.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

To say that Michelle Roques-O’Neil is one of the leading lights of aromatherapy, globally today, would be an understatement. With over 40 years of experience, she is a spiritual health and wellness expert with rare intuition and a gift for healing that goes way beyond the dizzying array of disciplines she has knowledge of. Not only a trained aromatherapist but a Reiki Master, a trained reflexologist, a sound and cranio-sacral therapist who has studied Native American rituals, numerology, shamanism, Taoist Qi Gong, SRT and the alchemy of essences. Michelle offers one of the most spiritually profound and life-changing healing experiences currently available, globally, full stop. One client described a treatment with her as ‘like going on a retreat’. It all began back in the 1970s. Michelle left school and started off by cutting people’s hair with the original thought of going into hair and make-up. She trained in beauty therapy at Joan Price’s Face Place and Joan famously observed ‘have you ever thought of being a masseur, you’ve got incredible hands.’ A chance meeting with a model led her to explore the idea of aromatherapy massage and she wrote to ‘Godmother of aromatherapy’ Micheline Arcier and asked for an apprenticeship. Michelle then commenced on a transformative four-year journey with Micheline, intensively learning all she could about aromatherapy and massage and devouring books about healing and emotional modulation. Micheline Arcier (1923-2006) is credited with introducing aromatherapy into the UK. From her clinic in Knightsbridge she also trained aromatherapy luminaries Sue Beechey and Geraldine Howard, (contemporary to Michelle) who went on to found the global brand Aromatherapy Associates. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Millennial entrepreneur Andrea Lisbona is setting out to disrupt the stale hand sanitizer industry with her innovative brand aimed at elevating everyday experiences, which has been in the works for more than a decade. Inspired by great innovators and the marriage of great function with great design, Andrea developed Touchland, a revolutionary brand of hand sanitizers that combine sleek, functional packaging with non-sticky, moisturizing, luxurious-feeling formulas that come in eight amazing scents. Lisbona ran a Kickstarter campaign in 2018, which resulted in the brand reaching 450% of its initial fundraising goal and more than 1,500 pre-orders for the product in just one month. In Touchland's first year of business, the brand enjoyed success largely driven by their community of social media followers (until recently, this community was grown and fostered directly by Andrea herself!). In that year, Touchland surpassed $2M+ in sales and landed retail distribution with ULTA, Urban Outfitters, Revolve, Liberty London, Sephora Mexico & many more. Touchland's innovative design and superior quality was instantly embraced by celebrities and influencers alike; the brand now counts Kris Jenner, Kesha, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Tyra Banks, Huda Kattan, KathleenLights and many more as fans!  At the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, Andrea recognized the threat to the supply chain and pulled all manufacturing to North America so she could more closely manage the situation. After briefly selling out of Power Mists in mid-March, the brand amassed a waiting list of more than 34,000 orders! While most hand sanitizers remained out of stock, Touchland was able to ramp up production, clear regular FDA testing and get back on the shelves within a matter of weeks. Now, Touchland has been expanding into new retail partnerships with Target, Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and many more. Additionally, the brand's KUB Hand Sanitizer Dispenser--which is the first internet-connected solution of its kind--has exploded to represent 50% of their business, with strategic partners like Equinox, Louis Vuitton, Sweetgreen, Marriott and dozens more. All the while, Touchland has been donating their hand sanitizers to hospitals and teachers to assist those working on the frontlines during the pandemic. Andrea is originally from Barcelona and relocated to the US in 2018 in order to manage the growth of Touchland from the US. She holds an MBA from ESADE and was a featured expert speaker at the European Commission. She currently lives in Miami with her husband and Chippy and Coco, their beloved schnauzers. In her spare time, she networks with other female entrepreneurs to share resources and advice.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

A moment of inspiration started a movement in the world of hair and body care. That moment happened when Carmen Tal discovered the transformative power of argan oil, beginning her journey to become the creative visionary behind the international, multi-category beauty brand Moroccanoil. While living in Montreal, she received a bad color process that left her hair severely damaged. “I was visiting Tel Aviv soon after this bad experience when I discovered what the Moroccanoil Treatment is today. I was at a local salon when a stylist applied an astonishing argan oil-infused treatment to my hair,” she says. The oil-infused treatment was different from any product she had ever tried before— and as a salon owner, she had tried many. “I saw the results instantly: My hair became shiny, smooth and manageable.” Carmen knew right away that this argan oil treatment was special, and she wanted to share it with other women. At the time, oil treatments were practically unheard of in the industry. “Everyone told us it was a flawed plan, that the market was too saturated with products,” she recalls. But her experience—as a hair salon owner, an executive in the fashion industry and a working mother— gave her a keen instinct for what other women would love. “With the demands of home and work life, finding products that are easy to use and make adventurous styling simple is a priority,” she says. The result was the now-famous original Moroccanoil Treatment. Her pivotal moment of inspiration revolutionized the beauty industry, creating an all-new oil-infused hair care category and an iconic brand in less than a decade. Today Moroccanoil remains the leader in oil-infused beauty, offering a complete line of hair care and styling products, as well as Moroccanoil BodyTM and Moroccanoil SunTM, in more than 65 countries and counting. Moroccanoil products are also used by top stylists for high-profile magazine shoots, fashion shows around the globe and awards shows like the Oscars and the Grammys. As Moroccanoil has grown into an international lifestyle brand, Carmen has remained a passionate, hands-on leader. Her vision forms the core of the brand’s DNA, from the unmistakable turquoise packaging to the exotic signature fragrance. “The Mediterranean is the root of my ideas,” she says. “The colors of the ocean, the clothes people wear, the fragrances in the air all inspire my vision for the brand.” With the launch of the Moroccanoil BodyTM and Moroccanoil SunTM collections, the brand now offers a complete head-to-toe lifestyle experience. “The body lineup is inspired by life’s pleasures—an exhilarating, experiential and sensorial journey through the Mediterranean—with products that not only refresh and rejuvenate the skin, but also provide well-being to the mind and senses.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

With deep rooted beauty beginnings, Lan Belinky was destined to lead a global skincare brand. Born and raised until her young teens in Japan, the infamous center of skin care innovation, Lan was fascinated by the infinite beauty trends and tactics she was continually exposed to. Mesmerized by her Grandmother's meticulous 6-step beauty ritual and her Aunt's unique product application practices; the allure of the beauty world naturally beckoned. In the Spring of 1996, Lan's family moved to the United States so her Father and boscia Founder, Gen Inomata, could realize his dream of bringing Japanese influenced skincare stateside. Lan spoke solely Japanese at the time and worked diligently to learn English as a second language and acclimate into the American culture that was so brand new to her – but always, always held close her Japanese roots. Fast-forward a few years later, Gen's dream was realized and boscia was born. Lan attended The University of the Incarnate Word and graduated with a degree in Business Marketing, while spending every available moment helping to cultivate boscia. After graduating, Lan joined boscia full-time and helped lead many of the brand's major milestones including the first foray into prestige retail. Lan passionately believed in the power of boscia's fusion of botanical (BŌ) science (SHA), and that powerful skincare results could in fact be obtained from good-for-you ingredients. Lan attributes much of her contributions to boscia's growth directly to her biculturality. boscia's first collections (Tsubaki, Sake and Charcoal) were all inspired by her Japanese heritage as was BB Cream, which was the first of its kind to hit the US prestige retail market and garnered staggering success. In the Summer of 2010, Lan unearthed the Luminizing Black Charcoal Mask which catapulted to skincare fame and created the instantly gratifying peel-off mask craze. The Luminizing Black Charcoal Mask continues to reign as a boscia fan-favorite. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Megan McIntyre is a beauty and wellness writer who got her start in the industry over 16 years ago when she stumbled into an editorial assistant job at WWD Beauty Biz after moving to NYC with no job prospects and $1000 in her bank account. What followed was a career in writing that took her from print to the heyday of digital, when she moved over to Daily Makeover as a senior editor, followed by a cold call to one of the co-founders of Refinery29 that led to her being hired as the head of the fledgling beauty department for the site.  After five successful years, she headed out on her own to become a freelance beauty writer, crafting reported features for publications like Byrdie, The Zoe Report, Coveteur, Glamour, Marie Claire, Gossamer, and Fashionista. She also works behind the scenes with many beauty brands as a copywriter and consultant to help them craft engaging marketing communications for consumers. Past clients have included Kiehl's, Ulta, Aveda, Pantene, Nexxus, and many more.  After 15 years living in Brooklyn, Megan decided she liked the proximity to skiing better than proximity to bagels (for shame!) and packed up her husband, 13-year-old Schnoodle Ellie, and borderline hoarder levels of face serums to head to Denver, Colorado last March. She loves the mountains and easy access to cannabis edibles, but TBH really misses decent bagels.

One hundred percent of the top 20 prestige beauty brands invest in a field sales team. Yet with the recent influx of indie brands, how can startups, even those that are on a hot streak and poised for greatness, afford the massive overhead associated with that oh-so-necessary team? Enter Headkount, the brainchild of Paula Floyd, a sales and education executive with over 25 years of experience at brands such as MAC, Benefit, Urban Decay, and more.  Though there’s been a current emphasis on growth in the DTC channel for most brands, Paula saw the desire from consumers to still experience a brand in person and the need to elevate the brick-and-mortar relationships that brands have with their retail partners. There are only so many resources available for up-and-coming and legacy brands alike, and it can be challenging to support both DTC growth and in-store retail opportunities. Headkount offers an alternative option that allows brands to scale their businesses in retail by removing the overhead that comes with a full in-house field sales team. Headkount does all of the heavy lifting associated with driving retail, including a field education team, account management, operations, and an experienced head of sales.  Most importantly, Headkount’s team of dedicated beauty educators creates and cements invaluable relationships with their customers and retail partners, and eliminates the need to continually scout, hire, and train new in-house staff for a position with a notoriously high turnover rate. All Headkount team members are referral-based and pass a rigorous application process to ensure that only the best of the best are on the floor representing Headkount’s clients, which currently include editorial and industry darlings Kosas, Lawless, Saint Jane Beauty, Merit, True Botanicals, and more. Headkount is a consumer-driven, cost-effective, and fast way to improve brand awareness, increase brick and mortar sales, and grow at scale, resulting in increased productivity and shipments, and significant new door growth. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

With over 35 years working as a skin and wellness expert in the UK with many celebrity and beauty director clients, Marie has developed a unique approach to the skin, treating skin health holistically as a tri-effect, looking at internal and external influences on the body that can impact the skin. Her consultations involve looking at the feet, ears, and internal frequencies to determine the root cause of their issues, using holistic-science based treatments including Energy Therapy to 'read' the body. Marie’s work focuses on helping to bring balance to the body to enable overall healing and repair. Many conditions are born from energetic imbalances, dis-ease starts with energetic disturbances, and relationships between pathogenic influences may exacerbate or even cause pain and further symptoms. Marie’s method aims to seek out these imbalances and counteract them both internally and externally through her treatment. She offers in person and distance therapies as well as her own skincare and supplements line (launched in 2018). Marie has a network of high profile fans including many A List celebrities and Beauty Directors including Alex Steinherr, Newby Hands etc. Marie can be found at Fortnum & Masons, Central London, and her own clinic in Norfolk. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Lorrie and Celeste knew they were onto something ‘important’ when their friends were constantly asking for skincare recommendations because their long-time moisturizers and regimens were not ‘doing’ it. Both Lorrie and Celeste believed that aging and menopause need to become de-stigmatized and become openly acknowledged as a time of growth, wisdom, and shared community strength. They also believed that aging is a complex issue for every human but for women in particular, as women are culturally trained from childhood to associate personal identity and success with their facial and body appearance.After meeting with scientists to truly understand how and why skin aging changes after 40 and again at the onset of actual menopause, they realized there was an opportunity to really educate and empower modern women by empowering their skin with science-backed, clean formulated, hormone responsive skincare solutions. They like to say that they put the “I” in Caire to symbolize each individual woman’s unique journey. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

With a multicultural lens that spans the spectrum of skin tones and skin types, this single-source game changer leans into aging well, features conscious-minded skin care companies, provides skin wellness awareness programming, offers virtual access to medical experts and thought leaders, and recommendations of skin care products for skin which requires more nourishment from head to toe. A wellness enthusiast and practitioner, Heidi graduated from Columbia Business School, Columbia University with an MBA, and she earned a B.A. in English Literature from University of California, Berkeley. Heidi is an active board member of two non-profit organizations. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Dara Levy invented the category of at-home dermaplaning with DERMAFLASH. Obsessed with the instant, transformative results of medical dermaplaning, Dara opened an entire med spa in Chicago built around her signature DERMAFLASH™ dermaplaning facial. Performed with a surgical scalpel, the treatment removes dead skin cells, built-up residue, and peach fuzz—revealing a layer of skin that’s smoother, brighter and younger-looking. Five years and 6,000 dermaplaning facials later, Dara had an epiphany. Realizing the need to make the treatment more accessible and affordable, she invented the first ever, at-home dermaplaning device. DERMAFLASH and, more recently, DERMAPORE have revolutionized skincare by empowering people to uncover their best skin without leaving home. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Dr. Manuela Maria Vazquez is the Founder of LaMaria, a brand that creates clean skincare for women’s life stages and transitions. As a board-certified OB/GYN, Dr. Vazquez brings her 12 years of expertise into a new category with a mission to create products that evoke a sense of pride in a woman. LaMaria was founded as a result of Dr. Vazquez being underwhelmed with the over-the-counter feminine care products she was having to recommend to her patients. These products have little-to-no scientific backing, are filled with unnatural chemicals, and come in lackluster packaging that contributes to the harmful taboo that female and vaginal wellness items are shameful. Dr. Vazquez’s mother, Maria, raised her to value women’s wellbeing, this is what inspired her to become a gynecologist, and with that inherited belief that women are meant to be celebrated, honored, and respected, Dr. Vazquez set out to develop a feminine wellness brand that would not only be based on this ideology but on the natural hormonal changes in a woman’s life to nurture our authentic beauty through the ages. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Tata Harper grew up in Colombia in a household full of women with a deep love for the ritual of beauty. When Tata’s stepfather was diagnosed with cancer, she wanted to find ways to make her luxury beauty routine free of the potentially toxic synthetic chemicals found in many existing products. Identifying a void in the market, Tata decided to create them herself. Through years of painstaking research, she developed her unique formulation process and proprietary bio-engineering technology for creating her signature Complex Formulas, grounded in the philosophy that more ingredients equal more results. The products that emerged from this research are powerhouses, without compromises, chemicals, or anything artificial added, ever.

Jennifer Norman is a beauty and wellness industry executive-turned-entrepreneur. After receiving her MBA from Georgetown University, she went on to pursue a 20+ year career working for large companies, mid-level indie brands and small startups. With omnichannel experience across cosmetics, skincare, haircare, hair color, natural topicals and ingestibles, she’s considered one of the most strategic and creative minds in the business. During her career, Jennifer became privy to many highs and lows of beauty industry practices. Far too often, she witnessed management decisions that valued profits and short-term gains over people, safety and honesty. She decided it was time to start her own business that would truly put people first. According to Jennifer, the global beauty industry needs a wakeup call. Too many people still suffer from low self-esteem. Too many products still contain harmful ingredients. Too many natural resources are still wasted in production. Too many people still feel marginalized, underrepresented, prejudiced and discriminated against. Jennifer believes we can, and must, do better. Jennifer recognizes that her life is owed to the kindness and compassion of others. She was adopted into a loving family at the age of two, and she is also the single mom of a boy living with chronic illness and disability. Today, Jennifer has made it her purpose to foster inclusivity and support others with wellness, kindness, inspiration and trust. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support

Ivan received his scientific training in inflammation research at sanofi. Before he started Adipeau, he founded two successful companies.
