What makes a skincare ingredient “active”? How do you decode a cosmetic ingredient list? How are researchers using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve skincare? Which skincare ingredients are completely pointless? In this interview (our second most popular episode of 2023) Victoria Fu, the co-founder of Chemist Confessions, is here to answer all those questions and more. Plus, she tells us about an AI-discovered molecule that improves skin elasticity and explains how the digital era has made it harder to separate fact from fiction in the beauty world. We’ll be back with all new episodes next week!
