Hi I'm Perry 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 306. I'm your host Perry Romanowski and with

me today is the lovely Valerie George. Hello Valerie. Hi Perry. You're up early today? am that's how dedicated I'm up early every day I'm an early

I'm an early hard there you go well on today's show we're going to answer questions

about how the temporary hair color works that's

produced by Schwartzkoff whether a skin lotion ingredient can be used to

protect your leather shoes is that we worth spending money on an expensive flat iron?

Does encapsulated sunscreen work? And what do we think of the ordinary peptide lash

boosters? Another lash booster question, huh? Yeah, another one, but these must be

surging in popularity. They must be. But before we get to that, Valerie, you had a trip to San Francisco? I did the Society of Cosmetic

Chemist meeting was in San Francisco a couple days ago and I went up for the

meeting.

They usually have those in LA, right?

So, you know, for our international listeners, how far a drive is it to San Francisco from LA?

Well, I feel like most people not from North America

think it's New York and then Texas and then California.

But California is pretty, you know, pretty isolated but a pretty big state when you drive

it's about six hours okay without traffic sure sure yeah not bad it's a really nice trip through the valleys of California's

irrigated farmland. California is big and it holds about a pretty sizable chunk of our country's population.

Yeah, but the meeting was very good.
