Summary
BeautyStat is a fan favorite here at Gloss Angeles. It's one of those products we trust because it works. The brains behind the brand is Ron Robinson — a man with years of industry experience as a cosmetic chemist. Ron got his start in the industry formulating for brands like Clinique and La Mer; he went on to create successful beauty blog BeautyStat, the namesake of his brand. As our first cosmetic chemist on the show, we asked Ron your burning beauty questions: what's his take on "clean" beauty? Is alcohol in skincare bad? Are waterless products better? And what makes BeautyStat so effective? Enjoy the chat, Glamgelenos! And don't forget to subscribe and rate our podcast if you enjoy episodes like this one.
