This episode isn’t just an introduction, it’s an invitation.

In the opening episode of The Glam Chemist Podcast, host Genesis Velazquez, cosmetic chemist and science communicator, sets the foundation for a space created with intention. A space where science, beauty, culture, and power intersect. Where the people behind the products are centered, and where success in the beauty industry is examined beyond the highlight reel.

Genesis shares why this podcast exists, who it’s for, and the conversations she’s committed to having. From scientists and marketers to brand founders and creatives, The Glam Chemist amplifies the voices shaping the beauty industry from the inside out.

If you’ve ever been curious about the science behind beauty, questioned how success is defined in this industry, or searched for representation in STEM spaces, this podcast is for you.
