Breaking Down the Beauty Industry, Melanated Skin & Product Development Ft Diarrha N'Diaye

From product development at Glossier to the front lines of L’Oreal — Diarrha has seen a lot and I was so eager to hear all the beauty TEA & it is *hot* – I had a jaw on the floor moment during our chat! I also learned A LOT - Diarrha talks about the science of skin, how products are formulated and women of color being excluded from clinical trials. We discuss Drunk Elephant, how Sephora uses data to market products brilliantly, how she found herself at Glossier & she shares all of her favorite products! Additional gems:

• she demystifies sunscreen & hyaluronic acid 
• why you don’t need expensive cleanser
• skin bleaching vs skin brightening 
• makeup as second skin

& so much more!

***quote from the episode I love***

“I’m sick of diversity as a facade. When I’m on interviews I ask:’ how many women of color are on your executive board? Who’s making these decisions?’”
