Science washing: decoding scientism in the beauty industry
In the latest episode of Green Beauty Conversations, we delve into the “science washing” that is rife in the beauty industry. This term, akin to its near neighbour “greenwashing”, refers to the use of scientific jargon to mask pseudoscientific ideas.
Last week, podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier, CEO of Formula Botanica, explored the nuances of so-called “medical-grade skincare” with Ana Green, Education Manager at Formula Botanica. They unpacked its role as a marketing term, and how its hype often misleads consumers about the quality and real efficacy of skincare products.
In this opinion episode, Lorraine unravels the broader implications of scientism or “science washing” in the beauty industry.

Customer Reviews
Very good presentation !!!!
I am wondering about this matter, for a long time .... And, i have a question about, this. Does the third and the fourth shades, have exactly the same impacts and resuls, as long as we speak, about formulations using on the skin,with the impacts and results of the first and second shades ??? How can you, be sure, if you do not have tested, yet ??? Is there, any chance, that they will, figure out, from the results, of using on skin, such formulations ??? My believe, is that they will know, from the result . I am not interesting on making a brand of cosmetics, i am interested on being a teacher on homemade green beauty, because i believe that as making a meal at home, is food, for the stomach, such making a cosmetic at home, is food, for the skin. Making homemade cosmetics, is an opportunity for people, to determine bythemselves, what to put in, and getting them more familiar with these things. Spread the green beauty !!!
Thank you!
Very informative! it would be very convenient in the future the opportunity to have it the convertations in text for those who have difficulty with the language but have the willing to learn from you. Thank you for all those informations!
Amazing podcasts!!!
Very enlightening!Even though I have taken part in a six month seminar about natural cosmetics in my country, the teachers could not go in depth and explain so thoroughly what you in formula botanica did in just three podcasts (approximately one and a half hour). Thank you so much and please, please let it be me that wins the $2000 worth of courses. I am totally convinced its worth it. Please... :)
