Beauty myths multiply! My latest podcast episode features OG beauty myth buster, Michelle Wong PhD, aka @labmuffinbeautyscience. What's the latest trending beauty misinformation, where is it coming from, how is it growing and how does it impact both consumers and the beauty sector writ large. Probably not great - probably important for the industry to get behind addressing. We also dive into the importance of scicomm, current barriers for good independent scicomm - from the fact that so many of us do it for no pay on top of full-time jobs, how it impacts us personally when we debunk, to the rampant issues of plagiarism that adds to scicomm burnout. And what can be done from the beauty sector to better support independent beauty scicomm. Interested in supporting the podcast? Please share, subscribe and write a review!

Every year, the Environmental Working Group, a Washington, DC-based lobbying group, publishes its “Dirty Dozen” report, which supposedly informs consumers about the 12 “dirtiest” fruits and vegetables. The report is repeated verbatim by major media outlets, which routinely demonize strawberries, blueberries, and other conventionally-grown produce. But does their science hold up? Not according to the majority of scientists and researchers. Over the decades, the EWG has slammed some pesticides but not others, ignored data on dosages, and even wondered out loud if all that mercury in vaccines might just be causing autism. They also routinely ignore potentially hazardous organic chemicals, while selling “verified” labels for skin care products and sunscreens. Today Derek is going to walk me, the non-science journalist, through the work of the EWG before he talks to biomedical scientist Dr Andrea Love and cosmetic chemist Dr Michelle Wong about the group's questionable methodologies and fear-mongering tactics.

We're excited to bring you a special re-run of a fan-favorite episode from 2020! In this episode, host Marni speaks with Dr Michelle Wong of Lab Muffin Beauty Science about the science behind skincare and beauty products. Dr Michelle Wong is a science educator with a PhD in chemistry based in Sydney, Australia. She started Lab Muffin Beauty Science over nine years ago, driven by frustration at the lack of easy-to-understand explanations of the science behind beauty products. As Michelle says, "I firmly believe that anyone can understand the science behind skincare and beauty, and if you can't, it's not your fault – it's the fault of the person doing the talking (and sometimes, they're trying to bamboozle you into believing them!)." In this engaging episode, Michelle debunks common myths and uncovers the biggest misconceptions about skincare. She explains how we can improve skin health to maintain its protective role as the body's largest organ. With countless products on the market claiming to benefit our skin, Michelle helps us navigate the facts and fiction. Key Takeaways: 1. Understanding the Skin's Protective Role: Learn how healthy skin functions as an effective barrier and what happens when it's compromised. 2. The Science Behind Skincare Products: Discover why not all skincare products live up to their claims and how to identify the ones that do. 3. Debunking Skincare Myths: Michelle shares insights on popular myths and misconceptions in the beauty industry.

Embark on a journey through the digital maze with the ever-astute Dr. Michelle Wong, our guide from Lab Muffin Beauty Science, as she unpacks the peculiarities of social media's impact on mental health. She maps out the terrain of Facebook's familiar ground, wades through Twitter's rapid streams, and scales the trendy heights of TikTok and Instagram, all while juggling a spectrum of audience feedback. Our conversation reveals how certain corners of the internet can become sanctuaries, albeit sometimes ensnaring ones, for content creators like Michelle. The art of dealing with comments, particularly on a platform like YouTube Shorts, emerges as a tightrope walk between constructive dialogue and the odd internet skirmish.Prepare for a dose of vitamin "Sea" as we sail into the tempestuous waters of sunscreen debates with Michelle, our science-first skipper. We chart the reasons why sun protection stirs up such a squall among consumers and navigate through the misinformation cyclones fueled by entities like the EWG. The discussion anchors on sun safety, the underestimated importance of vitamin D, and how public health advice must be a tailor-fit life jacket for individuals. Our exchange promises to leave you both sun-kissed with knowledge and shielded from the burn of skincare myths.As we cap off this episode, we scrutinize the toxicity of benzene exposure and dismantle the 'natural versus synthetic' barricade that often clouds public judgement. Michelle lends her expertise to demystify the relationship between skincare, diet, and the waves of wellness trends that lap at our doors. We leave no stone unturned, from the market tides of coconut oil to the biohacking craze, and Michelle even teases her book, "The Science of Beauty," as the compass for navigating the enigmatic world of beauty products. Tune in for a concoction of humor and hard science that will sate your curiosity and perhaps inspire a more enlightened skincare routine.You can find Dr. Wonghttps://www.tiktok.com/@labmuffinbeautyscience?lang=enhttps://www.instagram.com/labmuffinbeautyscience/?hl=en Support the showYou can find us on social media here:Rob TiktokRob InstagramLiam TiktokLiam Instagram

Did you know that it's not the sun that causes cancer, but sunscreen? Or that sunscreen is actually a Big Pharma creation to keep you from receiving the sun's magical healing properties? How about the fact that sunscreen molecules can be found in your brain 10 years after application? And don't even get me started on the life-changing effects of exposing your asshole to direct sunshine.  Ok, I promise that's the last time I'm going to mention asshole sunning during this episode. As for the rest of those equally-absurd claims, I'll be talking to cosmetic chemist, Michelle Wong, aka Lab Muffin Beauty Science, to dispose of the gibberish and give me a serious 101 on sunscreen. Before that, I'll be talking to disinformation analyst Sara Aniano about the connection between the anti-sunscreen movement and antisemitism—because yes, that's a thing, too.

On this week's episode of the pod, we are joined by Dr. Michelle Wong-- a science educator and cosmetic chemist to talk all things related to sunscreen! We kick off this episode with a discussion about skin cancer and its prevalence and the importance of prevention and early detection. We ease into things with a primer on the history of sunscreen and its evolution over time. We dive into the basics of sunscreen, its composition, and the different types of sunscreens. We also discuss the different types of UV light and the risks associated with UV radiation and DNA damage as it related to aging and cancer. We discuss various types of skin cancer and risk factors (including sun exposure). We answered a bunch of questions for our "Heard from the Herd" segment, including how to properly apply sun screen, the impact on the environment, and more. As usual, we spend some time debunking chemophobia-- this time related to the chemicals in sunscreen. This is a very timely episode as we kick off summer-- you don't want to miss it!

Harsh scrubs. Toothpaste spot treatments. Chemical face peels. Some of the beauty ‘hacks' you might see on the internet (or recognize from middle school) can actually be pretty dangerous. But decades of research and cutting-edge tech can help us take better care of our skin. So together with Droplette, we set out to explore the science that can help us skincare smarter. In this special episode, we break down a few proven ingredients and techniques. So you can figure out which products are right for you and develop the perfect routine. In this episode, you'll hear from InStyle Executive Beauty Editor Kayla Greaves and cosmetic chemist and science educator Dr. Michelle Wong of Lab Muffin Beauty Science.

Clayton Hawkins is the wig-wearing, vintage hot tool-collecting hairstylist to Olivia Rodrigo, Dove Cameron and Emily in Paris' Ashley Park. Today, we're diving deep into his tickle trunk, as Clayton decodes the hottest hair trends of 2022, so far. The “shullett,” bottleneck bangs, Y2K baby braids – we're covering it all, honey. We find out the exact products in the Hollywood hairstylist's hair kit, from the essential brushes to the $6 dry shampoo and the hot tools – 70s, 90s and new – that he thinks are definitely worth the investment.    But first, we discuss the recent Olaplex headlines that prompted some TikTok users to start binning their hair holy grails. Do they really cause infertility? Jill's not throwing away her bottle yet, guys! We reached out to the brand for their official statement. (To understand the science behind the study that led to banning of the ingredient in the EU and why testing on rats is different from testing on humans, we recommend watching Dr. Michelle Wong aka @labmuffinbeautyscience's breakdown of this topic.)   Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!
