GlowJob

This week’s GlowJob News Roundup is pure chaos in the best way — celebrity scandals, billion-dollar power moves, and beauty industry BS getting exposed left and right. Sasa and Julia kick things off with Shay Mitchell’s Rini kids skincare fiasco — toddler sheet masks, K-Beauty name-dropping, chemical fear-mongering, and why parents are getting played. Next, they tear into Dua Lipa’s surprise skincare line powered by Augustinus Bader, breaking down the price-per-ounce math that completely blows up Bader’s luxury mystique. Then it gets even bigger: Kimberly Clark’s $48.7B takeover of Kenview (Neutrogena, Tylenol, Aveeno). The duo explains how misinformation, lawsuits, and shifting consumer behavior triggered one of the biggest beauty-adjacent deals in history — and why it affects literally every household in America. Also in the mix: • Kim Kardashian not passing the California bar (and the internet meltdown that followed) • The “so bad it’s good” disaster of All’s Fair • Tesla shareholders approving a possible $1 trillion payday for Elon Musk • Coty’s earnings: fragrance domination, Kylie Cosmetics stagnation, and the looming loss of the Gucci license If you love beauty, business, and a strong BS radar, this episode is your perfect entry point. It’s fast, fun, and packed with the industry intel people pretend they already know. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram  Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.   GlowJob™ goes beyond the headlines to unpack the business and culture driving the world’s most influential industry… beauty.

In this episode of GlowJob, Julia and Sasa sit down with Holly Moore, product developer, UCLA cosmetic chemistry instructor, and the woman behind some of your favorite formulas. Holly breaks down the real process of taking a product from concept to shelf, why INCI lists matter, and how brands misuse “clean,” “chemical-free,” and “active ingredients.” She explains the 1% rule, ingredient misconceptions, why beef tallow is far from “natural and safe,” and how U.S. cosmetic regulation (including MoCRA) actually works. You’ll learn why sustainability claims are complicated, what’s hiding under the word “fragrance,” and why chemists, marketers, and founders often miscommunicate. If you’ve ever wondered what’s real, what’s marketing, and what’s straight BS in the beauty industry, this is the masterclass you’ve been waiting for. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram  Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.   GlowJob™ goes beyond the headlines to unpack the business and culture driving the world’s most influential industry… beauty.

In this episode of GlowJob, Julia & Sasa break down how GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound went from diabetes treatments to Hollywood’s worst-kept secret.
