About this listen

 Most of us never stop to ask: what’s actually in our skincare—and is it helping or harming?
In this episode, I speak with natural skincare founder and chemist Julie Macken about why it’s time to rethink what we put on our skin. We explore the surprising truth about moisturisers, the marketing messages we’ve absorbed without question, and how our skin—our body’s largest organ—needs support just as much as our muscles and joints.
We also dive into the privilege of ageing, the power of simple ingredients, and why many popular skincare routines may be doing more harm than good. Julie shares practical insights, gentle alternatives, and the chemistry behind what your skin really needs (and doesn’t).
Whether you’re already label-savvy or have never looked beyond the front of the bottle—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.
