In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, Dr Emma Craythorne teams up with cosmetic chemist and skincare myth-buster Michelle Wong (aka Lab Muffin Beauty Science) to unpack viral misinformation about benzene and sunscreen.

They explore the real risks of benzene in beauty products, separate facts from fear mongering, and reveal the science behind SPF safety, coral reef concerns, and water resistance claims.

Learn what’s true, what’s hype, and how to spot reliable skincare science online.
