Summary

Dermatologist Iris Rubin, MD, realized hair products were causing her acne, so she created Seen, a line of skin-caring haircare. We discuss that and so much more: her career as a pediatric laser surgeon, whether silicone’s bad reputation is deserved, and how common household and personal care products can cause things like migraines, rashes, and more.

Hey, everyone, and welcome to Fat Mascara. I'm Jess. Hi, Jess. I'm Jen. Hello, everyone.

0:10.8

Welcome to our beauty podcast. Listen, today is an interview day, and I am pumped for this one.

0:17.3

Okay. I haven't listened to this one yet. Jen interviewed a founder, and maybe if you listen to

0:23.7

a show a lot, you know that we don't typically have a lot of brand founders on the show.

0:29.2

But this founder really piqued our interest. She has a hair care line, but it was founded

0:39.6

really an interesting principle. It was about avoiding problems. Yes. Well, she's a germ.

0:48.1

She's a dermatologist, but she founded a hairline because she saw hair products cause problems

1:30.1

from Stanford and then her medical degree from Harvard. NBD. No big. Yeah. Yeah. She did her

1:36.2

dermatology residency at the University of Chicago in Harvard Medical School and then she completed

1:40.4

a laser surgery fellowship at Mass General Hospital. She also served as the medical director

1:46.0

of the dermatologic and vascular laser surgery program at Children's National Medical Center in

1:50.9

Washington. We actually talk about that before we get into the whole show and about what the work

1:55.5

she did with children. It's fascinating. In 2018, she launched scene hair care. Is that the
