Struggling with eczema or topical steroid withdrawal (TSW)? You’re not alone - and there’s real hope.

In this episode, I sit down with Barbara Paldus, a biotech scientist, entrepreneur, and the founder of Codex Labs - a brand at the forefront of science-backed, sustainable skincare. We dive deep into her journey from Silicon Valley to the skincare industry, and how her background in biotech is changing the way we think about healing chronic skin conditions like eczema and TSW.

We unpack the critical role of gut health in skin recovery, how plant stem cells can support regeneration, and why repairing the skin barrier is more than just a surface-level fix. Barbara also shares how Codex Labs approaches eczema holistically - combining clinical research, microbiome balance, and targeted formulas that support healing from the inside out.

Curious about what’s next in skincare? We explore how genetic testing could revolutionize personalized treatment plans, and what that means for those of us with stubborn, sensitive, or reactive skin.
