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

Hello and welcome to the Beauty Range, 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 360. I'm your host Perry

Romanowski and with me today is Valerie George. Hello Valerie. Hi Perry.

Well Valerie it's great to see you and another great thing has got a bunch of good

questions on our show today including can silicones prevent the penetration of peptides into skin. What makes hairspray brushable is the

Revlon imissio shampoo safe to use? Does copper peptide turn vitamin C orange and what are the basic

ingredients in a mascara formula? But first, some of our famous chit-chat

Valerie looks like you're in the lab right now?

I am, but in a little bit,

I will be headed to the home city of Perry Romanowski, Chicago.

That's right, like how exciting you're coming to Chicago. We have a trade show here, which is called

Teamworks, but it's like chemical raw material suppliers from around the world.

All converge into Chicago for one day, one day only.

I am excited to go. I've never been. I'm not going for pleasure, although some could say

that work is pleasurable, but I am going to help another ingredient company out at a booth. They are

short-handed so I will be there at the show and I'm very excited. I'm going to get

to meet one of our Beauty Brains fans. She went to the same university I did.

Oh really? Kent State? Yeah, she'll be working at a different booth and I got connected

to her through someone else and she was like oh my gosh I listened to the

beauty brains and I was like that's pretty cool. Wow that that's great well
