Hi, I'm Valerie and you're listening to The Beauty Brains.

Welcome to The Beauty Brains, a show where real cosmetic chemists answer your beauty product questions

and give you an insider's look at the cosmetic industry. This is episode 406. I'm your host, Valerie George, and with me today is Perry Romanovski. Hi, Perry.

Hello, Valerie. Great to see you. Great to see you. I'm so excited we're back recording because we have

so many questions to cover, including how can you tell if a new product is just a name change or did the formulas

change? Why can't companies sell moose sunscreens? Why is purple shampoo drying on hair?

What's the deal with the OS-01 peptide? And how do you deal with rosacea? But first, that chit-chat.

Valerie, it's good to see you up. My shift started

about seven hours ago at two in the morning. You know, if you're getting up that early,

you might as well also just get a cat, too, because that's the time they like to get up to eat.

Well, pretty kitties. Kittens are out running about, and I'm trying to catch catch them but it's just so hard now that I

have baby C to get the traps and all that kind of stuff but I should ask someone in the

Dallas area to help out with that but then butch and Frank would go crazy oh right you know how

have the dogs been with the baby um you know, at first they were like, what is this?

And then I think they had a little trauma in their past life with a baby because they got really upset when they saw the stroller.

Oh.

But they really like him now.

Mostly because they like to lick his vomit.

Oh, I suppose there's a lot of protein in there for lick his vomit. Oh.

Oh, I suppose there's a lot of protein in there for them.

Yeah.

Ew.
