Summary
To celebrate the launch of YŪGEN Magazine Volume 4, we’re revisiting one of our most powerful conversations with our newest cover star, Jenny McCarthy.
In this special re-release, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Jenny to explore the journey behind Formless Beauty, her cosmetics line born from personal health battles, scientific curiosity, and an unshakable commitment to transparency. What began as a search for safe, high-performance products evolved into a mission to challenge misleading “clean beauty” claims and rebuild consumer trust through evidence-based formulation.
Jenny opens up about her diagnosis with a genetic mutation, her autoimmune struggles, and the wake-up call that sparked a total shift in how she approached beauty, wellness, and advocacy. Together, they discuss the darker side of the “clean” movement — from regulatory gaps to the dangers of marketing to young consumers — and how Formless Beauty is redefining what integrity in beauty truly looks like.
As YŪGEN Volume 4 goes live, this episode offers a deeper look at the story behind our cover star — one of purpose, perseverance, and the courage to create something that truly serves others.
