If you've been listening to the podcast for a while you'll know that Lorna is one of the youngest and most successful cosmetic scientists in the UK. Sam is the founder of his own incredible beauty brand Sam Farmer and is passionate about the industry.

Feisty, Fabulous Skincare with Maleka and the Ultimate Glow Sep 22, 2019

Show notes

In this episode I'm joine by Maleka Dattu who is the founder of Merumaya.
Maleka is passionate about great quality skincare, total transparency and challenging social norms to ensure that women don't feel ashamed of ageing or that they need to hide who they really are.
Maleka is probably one of the most outwardly outspoken people that I've come across in the industry and I think that her honesty is both brave and very refreshing.
Later on I have a quick catch up with Marc Elrick who is the founder of Tanluxe. I question him all about his amazing new hylauronic tan serum. I also chat to you a bit more about the new wonder product from The Inkey List.
Don't forget that tickets are now on sale for the Outspoken Beauty X Fenwick Roadshow. It all kicks off in Newcastle on 1st October with Ruth Crilly aka A Model Recommends.
