In this weeks episode, hosts Sadie and Natalie are answering your burning questions, while participating in a Halloween activity, painting pumpkins! We cover our most coveted products, our stance on clean beauty and cosmetic ingredient websites, and how we recommend getting into the industry. We also talk about the 2025 sunscreen drama, or sunscreen gate. Plus the pros and cons of contract manufacturing. This week, it's Halloween craft night with your cosmetic chemist BFFs.

Welcome to Beauty by the Beaker, the podcast where science meets your bathroom shelf. We're two cosmetic chemists who want to reveal what really goes into your favorite products - and we aren't afraid to bust some myths while doing it. Whether you’re a skincare enthusiast, a curious consumer, or just tired of being told coconut oil cures everything, you’re in the right place. Let's gossip about all things beauty together! Pull up a chair, your appointment's about to start.

Special shout out to Jen from The Eco Well, and Michelle from Lab Muffin Beauty Science for being great sources.
