Skincare With Friends

83. Kligman's Prison Experiments Part 2


Listen Later

Trigger warning for human suffering. Beware if you are of a sensitive nature.


Continuing from our last episode, we further explore the history of the "Father of cosmeceuticals" Albert Kligman. His experiments at Holmesburg were sometimes dangerous, sometimes bizarre and always cruel. We learn about the involvement of the army and experiments with Agent Orange, one of the worst carcinogens known to man. We think it's important we all understand that in order to have safe cosmetics, there was not inconsiderable human suffering.

Lots of information for the podcast was obtained from a book called "Acres of Skin" by Allen Hornblum in 1998.
