MOTHER SCIENCE Skincare and Their New, Revolutionary Discovery, Are Combating Skin Health Issues On A Molecular Level
Send us Fan MailLet’s ChatJoin us for an amazing episode with the founders of MOTHER SCIENCE, a revolutionary new skincare brand that is utilizing the power of a naturally occurring, and endemic yeast of everyone’s natural skin flora, known as Malasezzia Furfur and its miraculous byproduct Malasezzin, to combat signs of hyperpigmentation, as well as combat free oxygen radicals often treated with ingredients much less efficacious such as vitamin C. Mike Einziger, founding guitarist of the rock band Incubus, and renowned violinist Ann Marie Simpson-Einziger have always been enthralled with science. Mike studied it at Harvard, and Ann Marie majored in biology at UVA and later taught physics and chemistry. So when Ann Marie developed a harmless skin condition while on tour in 2016 that led to lightened patches of skin on her back, she got very curious. Could whatever caused them be used to intentionally reduce the look of dark spots on the face? The couple assembled a team of leading scientists and over six years, uncovered the power of Malassezin, a naturally-occurring molecule found on skin. They were able to recreate Malassezin through biotechnology, and harness it to develop a revolutionary serum.In this episode we explore the vision behind why MOTHER SCIENCE was created and the clinically significant results the brand has been able to achieve with their serum thus far!

Combating Summer Sweat With Cleo+Coco ft. Founder Suzannah Raff
Send us Fan MailLet’s ChatWelcome back for another amazing episode of Skincare Anarchy, summer edition! A 20-year business veteran as a tech consultant and college professor, with three degrees (2 Master’s and 2 in business), specializing in Continuous Quality Improvement, Suzannah Raff created Cleo+Coco with Continuous Quality Improvement embedded into its culture.I started Cleo+Coco because I was frustrated that the natural personal care products available to me didn't work. Like many of you, while I was pregnant and nursing, I was especially careful with the ingredients that I was putting onto my body. So I began by perfecting the most important product, aluminum-free deodorant, and quickly added our body powder/dry shampoo because other areas of our bodies required effective sweat and odor absorbing products too. Today, I am still cautious with the ingredients I put onto my pre-teen and teen children’s bodies. So when we formulate our products, we are meticulous about the safety of our ingredients and have the highest standards of safety and efficacy. You deserve personal care that actually works and that is authentically safe. No green-washing when it comes to the health of my family, and that includes you the Cleo+Coco customer family. Today, we offer a full range of safe, super effective personal care products that smell amazing. And unlike our competition, those amazing scents never come from hormone disrupting synthetic fragrances – we only ever use high quality and expensive therapeutic essential oils to create our irresistible and mood boosting scents – because smelling good should never come at a sacrifice to your health.Named for Clean+Confident and for Cleopatra who is famously known for using Charcoal and Coconuts in her beauty routine, Cleo+Coco was born. Suzannah sees Cleo+Coco as a way to pour passion and creativity into improving people's health and pleasure, as well as a way to be a role model to her daughters and women everywhere. Ultimately transforming an industry traditionally focused only on profits to one focused on well being. Because real success comes by doing good and right in the world. Your support of Cleo+Coco by using her products in your everyday routine, demonstrates that every minute of every day.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/supportSupport the Show.Follow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy Hosted on Acast.
