  SPEAKER_00: Hey guys, welcome back to another episode.
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_00: This time it is just me, and I'm here to update all of you on some of the amazing changes that are coming up for the podcast.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: I know that a lot of you are have been around since the very beginning, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: It has been such an incredible journey so far hosting this podcast because I've learned so much, and I know all of us are kind of on this path together where we're always learning together.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: That's how I feel at least when I record an episode is that you guys are sharing a moment with me and we're understanding our skin better, we're understanding beauty better and the conversations in the beauty industry.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: We're getting a better grasp of it together.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: And so, with that same enthusiasm and that same kind of motivation, we've decided that we want to branch out and we want to talk about things that might not conventionally be discussed when it comes to the beauty industry or the beauty conversation.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think a lot of times it's hard because people think that, you know, if you expand a podcast, you're losing your focus.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: But that I just want to reassure you guys that it will not be the case with us.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: We are still very centered on skin health.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: That is our primary focus and always will be.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: But now I think more than ever, um, it's a it's a time where things are changing and people are watching, we're all watching the world around us transform.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: There have been a lot of things that have happened, you know, just in the last year that have led to conversations around things like mental health.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um, they've really prompted the need for discussions um about menopause, perimenopause, uh, skin changes to expect as you're going through the different decades of your life, what that means for you, you know, on an internal basis and an external basis.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: I think these are all worthwhile conversations.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: And if any of you caught some of the episodes in the later half of last year, I hope that you appreciated that we were able to bring these forward.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: And I I want to do that more, you know, for us all.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: And because I think that's really how you truly start to understand, you know, what what do you think about when you think of beauty?
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: And so, you know, for me, personally speaking, I think that journey is very meaningful and it's a very multi-layered journey.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: And that's exactly what I hope we can bring forward, you know, with our future endeavors and our future um goals at s at skincare anarchy.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: Also, very important announcement: we're gonna be changing our name.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not gonna be a huge change.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: Don't worry, we're not going from like skincare anarchy to something completely completely different, but we are changing it from skincare to s just skin.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: And the reason for that is what I just said.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I think that these discussions and these conversations that we have on this show are so meaningful in so many ways.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously, the science and technology and innovations that we discuss are at the forefront.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: They're the real meat and potatoes that of what you can expect from us.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: But when it comes to other topics that contribute to the development of these things, these technologies and innovations and what you see in the beauty industry, I think those conversations have to play in, you know, and they have to come in to the limelight for a lot of consumers.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Um, right now we live in a time where everything is so freaking expensive.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, when's the last time you guys went out to buy a serum and it was like a minimum of like a hundred bucks or like, you know, uh a face cream, a minimum of a hundred and fifty dollars.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's insane right now.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not just the beauty industry, it's everywhere.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: So I think the more that we as consumers are purchasing things, we need to understand what is leading up to that, you know, and that's a very multifaceted conversation, it's a very deeper approach to, you know, unwrapping all of that.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: So I think with that, um, I just want to say I hope you guys enjoy some of the guests that we have coming up.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we're definitely broadening our scope, we're definitely broadening the conversation, and I can't wait to bring that to you.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: Also, in addition to the name change, we will be focusing very heavily on our safe seal this year.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um, last year we were able to introduce you guys to the safe seal for teens.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um, that was a project that was in the works for a long time, pretty much since the beginning of the podcast, where we realized that you know what, we need to develop something that's going to make consumers feel comfortable in what they're buying and what if the science actually adds up.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: And that's how the safe seal was born.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: And uh you guys have really been such supporters of this, and I can't thank you enough.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: I genuinely cannot thank you enough for that because it's so important to me as a scientist that I'm able to actually put some action um to all of the insights and all of the learning that happens um through just hosting brands and understanding what they're doing and why they're doing it.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: And that's where the safe seals real like the heart of it is in that, you know, and so from that, um, you know, we were able to launch the seal, we were able to get brands on board.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: We've already been, you know, working with brands uh behind the scenes to make sure that we're introducing this new level of validation for you guys so that when you're buying products, you feel completely sure in your purchase.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you know that the science is there, you know the facts are there, you know there's no BS behind this.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's very important to me uh to be able to bring that forward for you guys um in any way that we can.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I just want to say that initiative is going to be expanding much more this year.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of the content that you guys are gonna see is going to be focused on an educational aspect, and that educational aspect is to really reflect what we're doing with the safe seal.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so please expect more of that.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, if you guys have any questions, and if there's any scientific questions that you have about products or any technologies, I would love to hear from you and I'd love to be able to provide any resources we can to help clarify that.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: So definitely chime in, you know.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: The safe seal was never meant to be this like one and done thing.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's an evolving entity, it's an evolving project, you know, and it's really from the heart, it's from the mind and logic when it comes to approaching OTC products.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um, as many of you know, we are right now living in a time where OTC is blending with healthcare.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: And there's the line between the two is starting to blur a little bit in a good way.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: And with that, I think it's now it's it's a great time for us to become more sure of our decisions, you know, what when it comes to our skin health, when when it comes to understanding who are the brands and what are the products that really stand behind this evolving nature of this area.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I think with, you know, when we understand that, we're able to then get a grasp on like what why we are spending our money where we're spending it, you know.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: And so all of this for me personally, it just all ties in together, and I can't wait to bring that forward more for you guys in the coming year.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: I know that a lot of people have asked, like, Ecta, like, tell us more about the safety, like, what do you guys actually evaluate?
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: And all of that is going to be um, I think, more clear during the course of this year and the coming years for you guys, like what exactly this represents.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: So please stay tuned for that.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: So the next thing that's going to be really up and coming this year is our magazine.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: So I know you guys had a chance to check out some of the work we've done or we've started to do the last three volumes of Eugen have been so uh meaningful for us because we were able to bring you like in a beautiful way, the episodes that we have on our podcast and highlight them for you.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, going forward, Eugen is actually going to be a brand new platform.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to be a place for you to learn a lot more about beauty, uh, but much more than beauty, wellness, travel, food, so many categories that we don't get to talk about on the podcast are going to be introduced through this outlet.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: So definitely check that out if you haven't already.

• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: So thank you so much for chiming in if you did.
• 7:54

• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to be um very much expanded uh based on what was available in the past three volumes.
