They’re breaking down why preservatives in your beauty products actually matter, how microbes can sneak in and mess things up, and the real risks if products aren’t properly protected. Of course, they’ve got a few cosmetic horror stories to share, plus practical tips to help you make sure your routine is safe and effective. Stick around for a teaser on next week’s topic: parabens.

We're two cosmetic chemists who want to reveal what really goes into your favorite products - and we aren't afraid to bust some myths while doing it.

Pull up a chair, your appointment's about to start.

In this episode, we chatted about the strange and surprising history of beauty, from ancient Egypt and Rome to today’s TikTok trends, and discovered what it reveals about gender, class, colonialism, and medicine.
