EP301. I spoke to an active ingredient scientist… and it changed how I see skincare

from Green Beauty Conversations by Formula Botanica · host Formula Botanica

What does an active ingredient really do for your skin? In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Formula Botanica CEO Lorraine Dallmeier is joined by Dr Jule Lexa Völzke, a skincare scientist at CLR Berlin, to uncover the truth behind these "hero" compounds. Together, they explore how active ingredients are developed, tested, and why some of the simplest ingredients often outperform trendy actives. You'll also learn why hydration remains the foundation of healthy skin and how marketing can sometimes overhype scientific claims. If you've ever been overwhelmed by ingredient lists, felt sceptical of skincare trends, or are curious about what actually works, this episode is for you.   Free Resources Free formulation course | Green Beauty Conversations Podcast | Blog | YouTube Socials: Formula Botanica on Instagram | Lorraine Dallmeier on Instagram
