Eternal Beauty: Redefining Skincare and Self-Worth with Alec Batis

Send us a text

Alec Batis, beauty industry veteran and founder of Sweet Chemistry, joins Lara Schmoisman on Coffee Nº5 to unpack the pursuit of eternal beauty. From organ regeneration science to peptide innovation, he shares how true beauty goes beyond flawless skin—blending performance-driven skincare with wellness, meaning, and social impact.

We'll talk about:

• The personal story that drove Alec to chase beauty through science
• Lessons from leading marketing at Victoria’s Secret Beauty and NARS in the supermodel era
• Why “juice without fiber” became his metaphor for a shallow beauty industry
• The medical-grade peptide technology behind Sweet Chemistry—and why it’s a game-changer
• Why functional ingredient levels matter more than “story” ingredients
• How wellness, art, and social impact fit into the future of beauty
• The movement toward “whole beauty”—beyond what’s skin-deep
