The Truth About “Toxic” Skincare | With Toxicologist Rani Ghosh

Kicking off Season 2 with a bang, Skin Ageing Unlocked returns with one of the most important conversations in beauty right now. This month, co-hosts journalist Fiona Clarke and The Skin Diary co-founder Dr. Clare Kiely are joined by toxicologist Rani Ghosh, a UK and EU registered expert with 15+ years’ experience in chemical and product safety. Together, they debunk common myths, such as ‘low-tox’, natural being ‘better’ and preservatives being ‘bad’. They look at which ingredient scanning apps aren’t worth using and the one that can be used instead. Plus, they discuss social media’s role in the fear of chemicals and how the algorithm rewards inflammatory language, retinol restrictions, endocrine disruptors, and SO much more. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or anxious about skincare ingredients, this episode will leave you feeling informed, reassured, and back in control.
