Customer Reviews
gotta dancing!
this theme music is my jelly
Great show
I’ve learned so much about personal care items by listening to this show. I spend so much less money on hair care and body care items now that I understand the basic technologies and common ingredients used in those products. I still like to dive a bit deeper into face products and think there is some more innovation and room for additional ingredients there but I’m much more discerning thanks to this podcast.
Very interesting
I like the format in which they answer listeners’ questions. It’s great to understand a bit more the science and merketing behind beauty products.
