EP209. Medical-grade skincare: marketing hype vs. scientific reality

Today, we are seeing a rise in so-called medical-grade skincare and liberal use of the word “clinical” to describe brands and formulations. In this episode, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier is joined by colleague School Education Manager Ana Green to delve into the controversial world of medical-grade skincare, and explore the intricacies of this term and its implications.
Ana sheds light on the marketing strategies behind the medical-grade term and unravels whether there’s substance behind the claims of cosmetic formulations penetrating deeper with higher levels of actives. Is medical grade just a marketing term to ensure brands do exclusive sales deals and attach luxury price tags to their products? Listen in for the big reveal on medical-grade cosmetics.

Hi thank you for this podcast. Hypoallergenic (and also medical) in Germany means, free from sensitisers and Asteraceae plants, for example Arnica, Calendula, Chamomile etc.. I made a handcream for my friend with Chamomile Hydrosol, and she sneezed for 5 minutes, his nose was running, he had to wash it off 🙂 it's unbelievable what's going on here in Germany, dermatologists have their own products, but they're all silicone, paraffin, and because they have white coats, everyone believes them. What is not nice about them is that they do not talk nicely about natural cosmetics, for example, and they also talk everyone out of essential oils and oil serums. Even when I try to write something on forums, everyone attacks me because their response is that dermatologists know much better. 😵‍💫
