Any day now a conservative federal judge in Texas could upend the national abortion debate by requiring the FDA to rescind its approval of mifepristone, a drug approved in the U.S. more than 20 years ago that is now used in more than half of abortions nationwide. Meanwhile, a controversial study on masks gets a clarification, although it may be too late to change the public impression of what it found. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Jessie Hellmann of CQ Roll Call, and Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet join KHN chief Washington correspondent Julie Rovner to discuss these issues and more. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week they think you should read, too.

What Are The Propaganda Campaigns Of The Four Companies Who Now Own Most Of The Seeds And Pesticides? Stacy Malkan • https://usrtk.org/• Book - Not Just a Pretty Face #StacyMalkan #CosmeticDangers  #EnvironmentalHealthIssues Stacy Malkan is co-founder and managing editor of U.S. Right to Know, a nonprofit investigative research group focused on promoting transparency for public health usrtk.org. She began working on environmental health issues in 2001 and has researched food and agriculture, with a focus on agrichemical industry misinformation campaigns, since 2012.Stacy is author of the award-winning book, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry. The book  Is a The girls' guide to giving the cosmetics industry a makeover.Lead in lipstick? 1,4 dioxane in baby soap? Coal tar in shampoo? How is this possible?Simple. The $35 billion cosmetics industry is so powerful that they've kept themselves unregulated for decades. Not one cosmetic product has to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration before hitting the market. Incredible? Consider this: The European Union has banned more than 1,100 chemicals from cosmetics. The United States has banned just 10.Only 11% of chemicals used in cosmetics in the US have been assessed for health and safety – leaving a staggering 89% with unknown or undisclosed effects.More than 70% of all personal care products may contain phthalates, which are linked to birth defects and infertility.Many baby soaps are contaminated with the cancer-causing chemical 1,4 dioxane. It's not just women who are affected by this chemists' brew. Shampoo, deodorant, face lotion and other products used daily by men, women and children contain hazardous chemicals that the industry claims are "within acceptable limits." But there's nothing acceptable about daily multiple exposures to carcinogenic chemicals-from products that are supposed to make us feel healthy and beautiful. Not Just a Pretty Face delves deeply into the dark side of the beauty industry and looks to hopeful solutions for a healthier future. This scathing investigation peels away less-than-lovely layers to expose an industry in dire need of an extreme makeover.Stacy Malkan is also a co-founder of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a coalition of health groups that exposed hazardous chemicals in nail polish, baby products, make-up and hair products and pressured companies to reformulate to safer products. Her work has been published in Time magazine, New York Times, Washington Post, Nature Biotechnology and many other outlets. She has appeared in Teen Vogue, Good Morning America, Wall Street Journal, San Jose Mercury News, San Francisco Chronicle, Democracy Now! and documentary films including The Human Experiment produced by Sean Penn, Pink Skies and Stink Movie (now playing on Netflix). Stacy was media director for the California Right to Know ballot initiative to label genetically engineered foods.For eight years, she served as communications director for Health Care Without Harm, an international coalition of health groups working to transform health care, so it is no longer a source of environmental harm. Prior to that role, she worked for a decade as a journalist, editor, and newspaper publisher in Colorado.

She now writes her own beauty newsletter called The Unpublishable.In today's episode, Jessica talks about her own experience in the beauty industry and why she decided to opt out, the psychological and spiritual impacts of beauty standards, why beauty standards are so powerful, why she sees today's standard of beauty as dehumanizing, and what the beauty industry doesn't want you to know. Jessica's insights are so needed, speaking powerfully to the media-saturated culture we find ourselves in. This is truly a must-listen episode.

Your money habits will help you become aware of how you're showing up. If your money habits are truly congruent with who you're wanting to become then the feedback will be evident.

Staring at own faces, day in and day out: what exactly is it doing to our self-image?  High exposure to perfectly symmetrical faces, with lush lashes, full, pouty lips, and Bella Hadid level cheekbones - has been proven time and time again to have a large impact on our self-esteem. Photoshop, editing apps, and filters are literally tricking our subconscious mind into believing this level of flawless beauty exists.  Unrealistic, unattainable images surround us. Our society encourages us to embrace digitally altered, flawless facades. What can we do about it? In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on the photoshop and filtering dilemma, zoom face  - how it affects our minds, how we inevitably talk to ourselves, and how that can be especially damaging for our mental well-being and ability to design an optimal future.

On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Stephanie Laflora, CEO + Co-Founder of Crownhunt, to the Friends in Beauty guest chair.    It took being rejected for service at five separate salons due to her 4C textured hair for Stephanie to realize that something was terribly wrong with the beauty industry. Driven to solve the problems of her own customer experience and already a serial entrepreneur, storyteller, marketer, and creator, Stephanie founded Crownhunt to make life easier for people with curly hair while helping under-resourced entrepreneurs thrive.   Alongside her business partner and long time friend, Ryan Holdeman, Stephanie has spent the last decade building multi-sided platforms and working with partners to develop new business models using her background in data-driven product development and strategy. To that end, Crownhunt is a digital marketplace for textured hair, built to help existing hair entrepreneurs reach the 65% of the population with textured hair and to get their products, services, and education to the right people, more effectively. While Stephanie is a seriously driven entrepreneur, she's also a troublemaker at heart and serious about having fun. When she's not building her start up, she's often mentoring other aspiring women entrepreneurs by showing them that life is one big adventure worth betting on.   I absolutely enjoyed my conversation with Stephanie and I'm so excited for what Crownhunt is doing for the beauty industry. In this interview Stephanie shares:   -What it's like being a woman in tech -The experiences that led her to create Crownhunt -The lack of education stylist receive in cosmetology school on texture hair -How Crownhunt is educating existing hair entrepreneurs -What is was like quitting her job while pregnant during the pandemic -Tips on pitching to investors to get them to be generous with the coins -The benefits of crowdfunding as a financial resource for business -The national conversation around textured hair and so much more   I'm so excited for you to hear this conversation and for my Friends in Beauty who are stylists to really tap into what Crownhunt is providing. It's definitely a game changer and there are so many other things rolling out in the future that you should keep an eye out for. Let's go ahead and jump into this chat with Stephanie and if you prefer to watch our beautiful faces then tune in on YouTube. Enjoy this episode!

Beauty has everything to do with how the world sees us and everything to do with how we choose to show ourselves to the world. In the world's insistence that we, as brown-skinned people with brown histories, aspire to be as white as possible, any sort of celebration and marking of brownness as good is undesirable for whiteness to flourish.

But there's nothing acceptable about daily multiple exposures to carcinogenic chemicals-from products that are supposed to make us feel healthy and beautiful. Not Just a Pretty Face delves deeply into the dark side of the beauty industry and looks to hopeful solutions for a healthier future.

Visualising through storytelling is a good way to set our sights on what is desireable and possible, and then make the imagined become reality. Beauty brands have long used storytelling to create an appealing narrative about their products. It is in this context that Formula Botanica CEO Lorraine Dallmeier dares to air a new format in this green beauty opinion episode – a short story of life in the beauty industry in 2100. Lorraine helps us imagine what may seem impossible today; a truly sustainable beauty industry – one not driven by ever-more consumerism, but founded on sound sustainability principles. Inspired by her guest on the previous episode, sustainability leader, activist, and artist Khandiz Joni, Lorraine asks us to listen to her hopes for a future beauty industry that has avoided breaching the 9 planetary boundaries – or tipping points of sustainability – Joni outlined.

I have another wonderful guest on with me today, Catherine Magee. She's here to start the conversation around women's sexual health and pleasure and why we should all be talking about it!How did she get into the sexual health industry?I've spent the majority of my career in the beauty industry. One of the reasons I've always loved it is because it really focused on having women build their confidence, feeling beautiful, and doing all these great things for people while not taking it too seriously. I just couldn't believe what a difference there is. In beauty, we are trying to create beautiful brands and beautiful products that improve women's beauty and wellness and make them feel confident. And sexual wellness, particularly personal lubricants, doesn't do that at all.Every time we talk to somebody about that experience of going down the aisle in the supermarket they feel ashamed as if something is wrong with them. And we just said this should not be the case, we need to change that. Why is including certain things in your lubricant so important to you?We create a product that's lubricating and moisturizing and silky but also good for the vagina. What we've learned through this process is the overlap between sexual pleasure and sexual health and how women are using a lubricant because we feel like we need it. But the fact of the matter is we can all improve our sexual pleasure with using this product and by improving our sexual pleasure, we're actually improving our reproductive health.Why is using Lubricant important?I think number one, like, let's focus on the pleasure challenge. We know through various studies and statistics that lubricant improves orgasm because you're just reducing any kind of friction. Using lubricant also decreases your chances of having urinary tract infections. Over 80% of urinary tract infections are correlated with sexual intercourse. So for either one of those reasons, it's an easily available product to try and bring into the bedroom.  Are there any things that you feel the beauty industry has taught us when it comes to sexual health?I often compare it to mascara, mascara companies don't say, oh, your eyelashes are brittle and dry and they look terrible. They say wear mascara, it'll make your eyelashes thicker and it'll make you feel beautiful and confident. That message Is what the beauty industry, you know, the good brands are communicating and that is not happening in sexual health.What products do you offer at Playground?We consider ourselves a science based sexual wellness company. And so our first line of products are libido enhancing, clean personal lubricants. Our one big difference for our water based brand is that a little goes a long way. We use an ingredient that's a silicone like plant based ingredient because we know that women don't like it sticky, and we don't like to reapply, we want it to last a long time. And we thought that's what was not happening, so we made it happen. Can men use these products too?Playground products are for everybody. They're just specially formulated for vaginas because vaginas have so much more complexity to them and we just wanted to be really thoughtful about that. So what I say is if it's safe for a vagina, then it's safe for everything.I always say we take our products very seriously, but we don't take ourselves very seriously. We say we're up for fun, down for anything. Nice girls finish first. Connect with Playground!Instagram - @Hello.PlaygroundWebsite Support the showConnect with Rachel!Instagram: @The_Rachel_MaineWebsite: https://linktr.ee/WellnessSexpertiseFacebook: Rachel MaineEmail: therachelmaine@gmail.com

Whenever podcast host and Formula Botanica CEO Lorraine Dallmeier has tackled the issue of sustainability in the beauty industry, she has heard time and time again the refrain that various pioneering approaches can't be done or done safely, are too expensive or demand too much from beauty consumers to put into action. In this Green Beauty Opinion Lorraine shines the spotlight on some of the beauty industry's true pioneers to make the point that the "eco-beauty entrepreneurs" of today will be those who eclipse their peers in the future. These are personalities changing the beauty industry for the better as they run successful beauty companies. The future will thank these entrepreneurs of today who are daring to defy the norms and through sheer doggedness and innovation are finding viable, profitable, practical ways to bring beauty products to market with minimal impact on the planet. Who dares wins, perhaps?

On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Celebrity Makeup Artist, Sam Fine, to the Friends in Beauty guest chair.   Long before he became a celebrity makeup artist, Sam paid his dues working behind the makeup counter of department stores, an experience he fondly refers to as “the real school of beauty”. There he came in contact with women from all walks of life that wanted one thing - to look their absolute best. He made it his mission to show them how to accentuate their unique beauty by using colors and shades that would best complement their complexions. But most importantly he helped them eliminate their doubts and apprehension about applying makeup so that they too could achieve dazzling results.   Sam's talent and determination has taken him far from the makeup counter, making him one of today's most sought after makeup artists. His work has appeared on the covers and pages of Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, Essence, Vibe and Marie Claire and was chosen as the first African - American spokesperson for Revlon and Covergirl Cosmetics. His work has been and continues to be seen on some of your favorite celebrities such as Queen Latifah, Kerry Washington, Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Hudson and supermodels Tyra Banks, Iman and Naomi Campbell. But it was the experiences from his formative years selling makeup that inspired him to write his first book, Fine Beauty: Beauty Basics and Beyond for African - American women, a how-to guide that highlights his many accomplishments.   As follow-up to his best-selling book, Fine Beauty, Sam introduced his first instructional DVD, Fine: The Basics of Beauty. With over 30 years in the industry Sam continues to be persistent about carving his own path as the Global Makeup Ambassador for Fashion Fair Cosmetics.   Words really can't express how much of an honor it was to sit and have this conversation with THE Sam Fine. I had tears of emotional gratitude after this interview because it was just so surreal & such a full circle moment for me. I had such a great time chatting with him. In this interview Sam shares:   -A glimpse of his 30+ years in the beauty industry + how he developed his aesthetic -The real behind being a celebrity artist -How to be honest with your clients + manage their expectations -The importance of building + maintaining relationships -His dream client -What's it's like working with Fashion Fair -How he stays mentally tough -2 major skills beauty pros are lacking to be successful -Answers questions from the Friends in Beauty community + so much more   Y'all, Sam laid it all out for us. If ever you were seeking validation that you are on the right path. This interview is for you. If you ever needed reassurance that your hard work is not in vain…the interview is for you. If you just need a pick-me up…this is for you. I'm so grateful to Sam for his honesty & transparency as I know that his words will resonate & impact so many people. Please share this episode with another Friend in Beauty + leave a comment to share your takeaways from this chat. Let's go ahead and jump into this amazing conversation with Sam Fine & if you prefer to watch our gorgeous faces then tune in on YouTube.  Enjoy this episode!
