Sex, Drugs, and Skincare — Episode 154

What Does “Tested” Actually Mean in Skincare? The FDA, Ingredients & the Problem With “Ingredient Technology”

In Episode 154 of Sex, Drugs, and Skincare, Nicky and Sandro sit down with Brooke Sarmiento, founder of BEE-OCH Organics, for a deep dive into something most skincare consumers probably don’t think about enough: what actually happens before a skincare ingredient or product makes its way onto your bathroom shelf?

We’re talking about the FDA and skincare, what the FDA does — and doesn’t — require when it comes to cosmetics, and what’s actually involved in testing and substantiating the safety of cosmetic ingredients and finished products.

But this conversation goes way beyond regulations.

Brooke challenges the idea that newer, more complicated “ingredient technology” is automatically better for your skin. As skincare formulations become increasingly synthetic and sophisticated, are we actually making skincare better — or just making it more complicated?

Brooke shares why she believes there can be tremendous value in going back to simple, recognizable ingredients and why the products she creates at BEE-OCH Organics are intentionally formulated to be as simple as possible while still being effective.

We get into:
 • What the FDA actually does when it comes to cosmetics
 • Whether skincare products and ingredients are FDA-approved
 • What safety testing and safety substantiation really involve
 • How ingredients are evaluated before being used in skincare
 • The difference between an ingredient being “new,” “high-tech,” and actually beneficial
 • Whether more synthetic and complicated automatically means more effective
 • Why Brooke believes simpler ingredients can still deliver powerful results
 • The philosophy behind BEE-OCH Organics and its focus on natural, organic ingredients
 • And the bigger question: Are we overcomplicating skincare?

It’s a fascinating conversation about science, regulation, marketing, natural vs. synthetic ingredients, and what “safe” and “effective” really mean in the skincare industry.

🎙️ Episode 152 of Sex, Drugs, and Skin Care is here!

This week I sit down with special guest James Graves — comedian, teacher, and one of the hilarious minds behind the teacher comedy group BORED Teachers — as we dive into the fascinating topic of pretty privilege.

Does being more attractive actually open doors in life? Do better-looking people get treated differently, have more opportunities, or experience advantages that others don’t? And how much of it comes down to confidence, personality, and the way we carry ourselves?

James and I talk about the reality of appearance, first impressions, society’s beauty standards, and whether looking a certain way really changes the way the world responds to you.

Make sure to check out James Graves and the other teacher comedians from BORED Teachers for more hilarious takes from people who know how to make a classroom (and a comedy stage) entertaining!
