Show Notes
Many people are worried that their favorite deodorant is going to cause them an early death, but when it comes down to it, we're more worried that we're going to smell like death. This conundrum perfectly articulates the juggling act between the short term benefit and long term risk with skin care products. In an ideal world, regulators would keep us from harm's way. In the real world, long-term cancer risk, hormone disruption, and even organ damage are difficult to track and quantify so this is an evolving discussion. On this week's podcast, you'll meet the CEO of a testing company focused on safety and efficacy for manufacturers.
Listen and learn:
- How an ingredient might be proven safe and effective, but in certain use cases might prove otherwise
- The false trust of Western manufactured products vs. the fake fear of "made in China"
- How to pick and choose products based on how often you use them and the potential risk
