    N° 398: MUSE & HEROINE | Janine Knizia on longevity, creativity & curating with integrity

    Recorded in Paris at Muse & Heroine’s Healing House, Mikaela MacLean (Director of Intuitive Skin Science at LILFOX) sits down with founder and beauty curator Janine Knizia for an insider conversation on skincare rituals, longevity, and next-generation ingredients. Janine shares how her early obsession with INCI lists led from a career in fashion to building Muse & Heroine, curating brands with uncompromising standards, and launching her own skincare line. They cover what it really takes to vet a skincare brand (and why it can take months), the daily rituals Janine refuses to skip, and the growing future of ocean-derived biotechnology, bio-fermented microorganisms, NAD, senescent “zombie cells,” and exosomes. Plus, lessons from the beauty industry, boundaries, integrity, and the personal “why” behind longevity. Stay tuned for an exciting collaboration announcement from Muse & Heroine, LILFOX + Mikaela MacLean... Highlights: How a true beauty curator evaluates brands and why vetting can take 3–6 months The non-negotiable rituals that keep skin resilient: masking, sauna, and AM/PM routines Why Janine moved from fashion into wellness and beauty, and her stance against devaluing products The longevity conversation inside skincare: telomeres, mitochondria, senescent cells What’s next in skincare innovation: bioidentical exosomes and ocean-based ingredients Boundaries in the beauty industry and choosing founders with integrity Desert island skincare picks, including the "iconic” LILFOX Flower Goo and Janine’s Taffy Creme  Longevity + biohacking framed as holistic lifestyle (not bro science) Muse & Heroine: website https://museandheroine.com/ Instagram: @muse_and_heroine & @janinekniziaskincare LILFOX: @lilfox.beauty
