Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of On the Line. Today I am talking to Marie Drego,

who is the founder and CEO of Galenae Skin Care, which you guys know I love, and I've been speaking

about doing this episode for a while and I had so many comments about it because it's a probiotic

skin care and body care range. So, Marie, welcome to the show. Bonjour, thank you. Oh, I love your... I love your accent! I know. I've got a very strong accent. I'm a bit ashamed of it, but it seems that it's like 50% of my sex appeals. Oh my gosh. I'm going to stay a little bit longer. I am so attracted to you just because of your accent.

I'm serious.

I love a French accent.

When did you move to London?

11 years ago.

My accent must have been even stronger when I arrived.

But I've been told that the more confidence I take in myself, the stronger my accent is becoming. Oh my gosh. I don't hear it. In my head, I've got a perfect Oxford accent. I love it. So we've actually met before. Yes, we had a vinegar together. We had a vinegar together. And I would love to tell people the story of that because I can't quite remember how it

happened but I got an email or something about your skincare brand or did you message me or

your friend with Louisa. Oh that's right. Did Louisa give me some of the products to try?

I think so yes. Oh my gosh all of my best connections are through Louisa.

I'm telling you. She knows everyone. She really, really does. Yeah, and that's exactly it. I remember her saying, you are going to love the skincare brand, and you have to try it. And honestly, I do get a lot of products to try, so I'm always like, oh, my God, I don't have time to try any new products. but the way she was talking about especially your, is it called the cleansing bar?

Yes. The way she was talking about that product was like, okay, fine, Louisa. I'll get it. Like, I'll use it. I'll use it. Can we talk about the cleansing bar? We can totally talk about the cleansing bar. What is it? it's a product that we had a lot of problems to make. So it's my

problem child because it was a very innovative product and it seems that it's a solid

cleanser. So it looks like a soap. You use it as a soap. But it's not really a soap. It's

just a cleanser in a solid form and it's extremely gentle. So it's pH 5. And as in everything with Galenae, we put prebiotics and postbiotics inside.

So there's lactic acid.

It's been tested for very sensitive skin.

And it's like the best soap you're ever going to use in your life.

I agree.
