Show Notes

💦 Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered why your nose is shiny? Or why hair gets greasy if you don't wash it? Join Dr. Owl, Emma, and a very slippery Ziggy as they investigate the tiny, invisible "factories" hiding inside your skin! In this episode, we discover that the oil on your face isn't just dirt—it's actually a special superpower called "Sebum" that acts like a waterproof shield.
