Or has she? &#x1f631; In this week&#8217;s episode, Lorraine explains what is actually happening to the podcast, what Season 2 will look like, and why the biggest change coming is one that has been overdue [&#8230;]]]></description>

Maybe you don&#8217;t have a background in the beauty industry. Maybe everyone around you is sceptical.  And maybe you repeat all of this to yourself, quietly, on a loop.

					<description><![CDATA[Every indie beauty brand founder we have ever met wants the same thing: to sell their formulations online, to wake up to orders, to build something that reaches people they&#8217;ve never met. And almost all of them have sat in front of their laptops at some point wondering why it isn&#8217;t happening. The website is live. The products are good. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Most indie beauty brands launch with a Shopify store, post a few times on Instagram, and then wait for the sales to come. Spoiler alert: they don&#8217;t. The brands that actually make direct-to-consumer selling work are doing something structurally different — and from the outside, it is almost impossible to see what that is.

					<description><![CDATA[Your skin is overwhelmed. Or maybe it&#8217;s overstimulated. Or possibly you&#8217;ve been skin fasting wrong, which is why your barrier is struggling. Or perhaps the real issue is ingredient redundancy — too many signals, not enough silence. Or ingredient dusting: where the hero ingredient on the label is present in such tiny amounts it might as well not be there [&#8230;]]]></description>

But what if the problem isn&#8217;t what you&#8217;re missing from your routine, but instead it&#8217;s how much your skin is already being asked to process? Have you ever heard of the concept of overstimulated skin? In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, [&#8230;]]]></description>

But what if the &#8220;natural&#8221; version of an ingredient and the synthetic version are, chemically speaking, exactly the same thing? And what if the real difference has nothing to do with what the ingredient is, but how [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Glycolic acid has been made the same way since the 1930s. The process starts with formaldehyde. It&#8217;s cheap, it&#8217;s efficient, and it&#8217;s been the industry standard for nearly a century — which is why most formulators have never questioned it, and most beauty shoppers have never heard about it.
