EP328. The beauty industry keeps renaming the same problem. And you're paying for it.
The beauty industry has always invented new problems for you to solve. What's changed is how fast it can now name them, package them, and sell them back to you. In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier runs through the full list of trending skincare terms, from skin cycling to skin flooding to overstimulated skin, separates the ones with real clinical backing from the ones built purely to shift product, and asks what any of us can actually do about it. If you have ever bought something because a term on TikTok made you feel like your skin had a problem you did not know about, this episode is for you.

EP327. Meet the formulator who thinks your serum is too busy
What if the problem with your skincare routine has nothing to do with the products you're using, and everything to do with how many ingredients your skin is being asked to process at once? In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier talks to Nicole Spangenberg, founder and formulator behind waterless skincare brand TSORI, about the concept of overstimulated skin and the formulation philosophy she has built around reducing total ingredient input. If your skin has become reactive and you cannot work out why, this episode is worth your time.

EP326. Have we been wrong all along about "natural" vs "synthetic"?
The beauty industry has spent decades arguing about natural versus synthetic ingredients. Most of that argument, Lorraine Dallmeier has long suspected, is about marketing rather than science. A carbon atom doesn't remember where it came from. But in this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, something shifts. Following her recent interview with Vikram Pandit of Phycus Biotechnologies, Lorraine asks whether published irritation data on fermentation-derived glycolic acid might finally give the natural versus synthetic debate a scientific footing it has never had before. If you listened to episode 325 and want to know what Lorraine actually made of it, start here.

EP325. The 100-year old secret behind your favourite skincare ingredient
Glycolic acid has been made the same way since the 1930s. The process starts with formaldehyde. Most formulators have never questioned it, and most beauty shoppers have never heard about it. In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier sits down with Vikram Pandit, co-founder and CEO of Phycus Biotechnologies, to discuss the world's first commercially available fermentation-derived glycolic acid, and what published irritation data might mean for every formulator working with alpha-hydroxy acids. If you've ever used a glycolic product and assumed the source didn't matter, this episode is worth your time.

EP324. Why beauty packaging is always the last thought and the biggest problem
Beauty packaging is one of the most expensive mistakes an indie brand founder can make. And yet most brands still treat it as an afterthought. In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier unpicks why leaving packaging decisions to the last minute costs brands far more than money, and why some of the most well-intentioned choices, from dark violet glass to biopolymers made from sugarcane, may not be as lower-impact as they appear. If you've ever chosen your packaging based on how it looks rather than what happens to it when it's empty, this episode is for you.

EP323. Beauty brands think about packaging last. Here's why that's a problem.
Picture this: you've chosen your materials, researched your options and invested in what you believe is eco packaging for your beauty products. But what if it's not as sustainable as it seems? In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Formula Botanica CEO Lorraine Dallmeier is joined by Jerome Fraillon, founder and CEO of Alder Packaging, to unpack the hidden realities behind packaging decisions in the beauty industry and so-called "sustainable" packaging materials. What Jerome says will probably shock you, and you'll never see eco packaging in the same light again. Tune in now to find out more!

EP322. What the hair loss industry isn't telling you
Hair loss is one of the most searched beauty concerns online – and yet, much of what you're being told about it simply doesn't hold up. In this thought-provoking and vulnerable episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier pulls back the curtain on the hair loss industry – opening up about her own hair loss experience – and reveals why so many products, trends and viral TikTok remedies may not be giving you the full picture. If you've ever found yourself scrolling late at night, adding so-called 'miracle' hair-growth solutions to your basket, this episode is for you.

EP321. What a hair loss specialist wants you to know before you buy your next product
Hair loss is far more common in women than we often realise – yet it often remains misunderstood, under-discussed, and frequently mis-sold through quick-fix products. In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Lorraine Dallmeier is joined by trichologist Chloe Heyworth, founder of Micro Artistry, to explore what really lies behind hair loss and why a personalised, evidence-led approach matters.
