Today I'm talking to nutritionist and cosmetic chemist Fiona Tuck to unpick the claims around harmful 'ultra-processed' ingredients in cosmetics and beauty products.
Learn about the chemicals used in skincare products and why they're used, along with the reality behind 'clean' beauty labels. Plus we talk make-up ingredients, fragrance, spray tans, why the EU is restricting retinoids and more!
Thanks to ZIIP for sponsoring a promotional offer segment in today's video.
