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 409. I'm your host, Perry Romanowski, and with me today is the lovely Valerie George.

Hello, Valerie. Hi, Perry. Valerie, you look a little spiffy today. Were you doing something else?

I had a webinar, but you look a little spiffy today.

We usually look terrible when we come on to record. I know. Maybe we can even share this video.

But before we get to that, we should talk about more we're going to talk about. On today's show,

we're going to cover lots of questions, including why would a company reformulate a product,

do different hair products, cancel each other out what sources do we recommend where consumers can

educate themselves what hair ingredient could be staining a shirt and is a

lotion with CBD oil suitable for sensitive skin but first some of that chit-chat that everybody is clamoring for, Valerie, what's up with you?

Well, I am headed to New Hampshire tomorrow.

It's our first trip with Baby C.

And we're a little nervous about traveling with him, but he's going to meet his great nana and great papa.

Wow, that's fun.

Yeah, we'll see how it goes.

Now, often you will drive places.

Is this a flying place or a driving one?

Well, we've driven it before, but with Baby C being, I'm still a newborn baby, we are going to fly okay now I'm curious

having not had any babies myself or flown with any do you have to buy the baby a seat we no we are

flying with him on our lap oh so he's like a carry-on then once they they see how big he is, they might make us get a second seat. Right. Because he is a tub of lard. But you just fit him in the carry-on thing to see if he fits, right? You're awful. No. So then you just hold him the whole way then, right? You just hold him the whole way.

Okay. Well, that's good. And he's really good. He never really cries.
