Debunking fear mongering trends with Dr Anke Ginzburg

This episode featured a conversation with Dr Anke Ginzburg on the topic of misplaced fear mongering. We gave our perspectives for the trends of ‘safe beauty’, ‘non toxic beauty’ and ‘clean beauty’ - long story short, there’s a lot of marketing fueled misinformation driving these ideas. This podcast was recorded as an IG Live video and featured some of the questions we received from our audience: is the Think Dirty App reliable, tips to read an ingredient list, how to become a cosmetic chemist, the science behind vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, and lots more. PS, from today onward Anke and I are launching our Technical Tuesday series. Join us at 12 pm EST every week for a 30 minute deep dive into cosmetic science. This week we’ll be exploring sunscreen!
