This week in beauty news: Rhode Beauty has been sold to E.L.F. for $1 billion, Tower28 admits to misleading customers about their new sunscreen, Beautycounter is back from bankruptcy with a new name (but are they still an MLM?), and Dr. Squatch is selling Sydney Sweeney bathwater soap (yes, really). These stories and so many more are in this week's show!
We’re breaking down the biggest headlines, analyzing the tea, and asking what the heck is going on in the beauty industry right now. Grab a drink and a snack because this week is WILD.
