In this episode of the Glam Chemist Podcast,

Genesis sits down with cosmetic chemist and beauty founder Arielle Nausieda, the mind behind ESSNTLS Lab, a skincare brand created to raise the bar for what clean beauty can and should be. Effective, sustainable, and luxurious, without compromise.

Arielle shares her non-linear journey into cosmetic science, from early detours through dentistry and pharmacology to finally finding alignment in beauty formulation. Together, they talk about the value of listening to yourself sooner, the realities of investing in advanced degrees, and why hands-on experience often teaches more than any syllabus.

At its core, this episode is a reminder that every product has a backstory, and that the brands worth supporting are the ones committed to impact beyond the label.
