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.
