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

Hello and 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 426.

I'm your host, Perry Romanowski, and with me today is Valerie George.

Hello, Valerie.

Hi, Perry.

Welcome back from New York.

We're getting excited to talk about that, right?

Yep, yep.

But we're also going to talk about your questions.

And on today's show, we're going to cover a lot of them, including does sunscreen block

skin care ingredients and makeup from working?

What do you think of the Good Face Project for Cosmetic Formulation?

Does A-O-2 Clear help treat acne?

What would be a cheaper dupe for Streivectin, anti-wrinkle line blur factor primer,

and do infrared hair tools damage hair,

and do those heat-protectin oils actually work?

But first, Valerie, we're back from New York Suppliers Day.

What, that was an adventure, huh?

Oh, my goodness.

We didn't get to do the meetup.

I left early.
