YES! More science based content please!!!! I loved this and would love to see more videos like this where you talk with scientists, doctors. I love learning and would love to see more educational content. I would love to see him or other cosmetic scientists talk more about parabens. Also, more about sustainability please.

“It is natural”. This reminds me my grandma response.... “Even nature can kill” 🤣👵💕

More Sam & Caroline chats please. I could have listened for hours!

The “natural“ wave came from California, along with the measels - That quote made my day!

I actually feel like I should have paid for this! It was like a TedTalk. After working in the industry for 16yrs I have to say are topics like this never get discussed. We are not equipped to answer questions on these kind of issues. It is more important than ever for me to education myself and I will definitely look out for more videos with you and Sam!

Caroline, at last an honest account of what is going on in the industry. What a lovely , to the point guy Sam Farmer is. You and he could do wonders for the beauty industry, if only the people at the top had the balls to listen to you both.

Brilliant. Please have Sam back again !

Low key I may have fallen in love with this man. So erudite, so sensible, so knowledgeable.

Bloody brilliant analysis of teen products. Frightening. But brilliant.

More science content. I think the 2 of you broke down so many scare tactics and debunked in short time than any influencers have. Can I get Sam’s products in the states?

🙏🙏🙏 Sam thank you for drawing attention to the marketing to young girls versus boys. It is just maddening to me. Particularly impressed that you as a dad picked up on this and felt so passionately about it. Love that Caroline brings us content like this that cuts through the copious amounts of BS in this industry. Well done guys ❤️

Thank you for being someone in the industry who is bringing awareness about these issues to consumer who wouldn’t have ever known! I never knew that glass packaging isn’t actually all that great. What’s your take on REN Skincare’s initiative with LOOP?

“Knowledge is power.” Please continue to provide us the knowledge! Guests like Sam are key to making this happen - relatable, knowledgeable, likeable, easy to understand, independent. Keep it coming!!!

What a brilliant interview - I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in on this chat, it was fantastic to hear such frank and sensible discussion about the industry. I was nodding along with you the whole time. And Sam was an absolute delight. Looking forward to more. Thank you!

Such a brilliant interview Caroline, thank you! Awesome to see how passionate you both are👌Sam is so knowledgeable and such a good speaker💚more ppl like you two in the industry🙏

Fab conversation. Very interesting to hear crude oil described as totally organic. Words Schmurds. I’d be very interested in hearing Sam talk more about packaging and sustainability challenges for up and coming brands.

Crude oil is natural unrefined petroleum as it lays in the earth before being harvested(stolen by us from the planet),so yes its natural and organic,but obviously not a good thing.

BOOM!!! Finally a conversation on natural vs. synthetic by two experienced and intelligent people! And yes, in the USA, people love to throw buzz words around like, "clean, green, natural," when they have absolutely no background knowledge on any of it. So much marketing bullshit too. Great example about people having no problem with supplements, yet all skincare and makeup must be, "all natural." When my friends and I discuss this, I always ask, "Define 'all natural' for me." And as someone who has a chemistry degree, I can assure you most people have no idea what they're talking about.

Absolutely brilliant video, very eye opening! Thanks both for this!

Another great video! Full of great, no nonsense information. Look forward to the next one. Thanks to both of you for taking the time to film this :)

Another great video, thank you, Caroline. I'm so addicted to your vids, I feel like you're talking to me personally (not really, I'm not totally bonkers!) about subjects that affect me: ageing and weight loss, retinol oh so much more. :)

Thank you so, so much for this video - it’s an issue I’ve been really struggling to get my head around and this is the first balanced and thoughtful conversation I’ve seen in this subject. Sam’s brilliant - please do a series with him and tackle the natural vs synthetic, sustainability, marketing etc topics to help give us food for thought when we’re contemplating buying something new. I’ve worked in the food industry in the past and the issues over ingredients safety and sustainability are very similar but on a much, much larger scale. After years of yo-yo-ing between ‘natural’ and ‘synthetic’ I have ended up looking for key ingredients to help manage my acne, buying less (or trying to!), and trying to buy from companies whose values (particularly environmental) I admire and respect. It feels like this the best I can manage as the whole subject is so overwhelming and confusing. Thank you again x

#teamscience Happy to see dermatology channels on KZread growing and reaching a larger audience.

Another wonderful video. Thank you both!

So enlightening! I love that you don’t “dumb down” important information. I think people of all ages want to continue to learn. Thanks, Anne

Excellent Brilliant Fantastic - and about time!!!! Thank you x

That was really really interesting. I love listening to people who know their subject inside out and are passionate about the facts and the truth being out there. I'd be really interested in a video on EGF and other anti aging products xx

Loved this! Could listen to you both for hours. Two informed, intelligent people talking about what they know best... keep it up! x

This video needs more videos. Thanks so much for this!

Wonderful! Thank you. This hit so many topics that are important to me.

Thank you for your time and effort. This is so great and informational.

Such brilliant conversations. More of everything!!! Love him

Oh I loved this! Thank you both for bringing up the topics and for your views on them. Incredibly informative and thought provoking

this was brilliant and so interesting to watch! absolutely refreshing to watch such an honest video and I m already looking forward to the next one!

THIS is an amazing video. I mean all of yours are. People want education to understand the ingredients; I feel normal people want “natural” because it sounds like ingredients people understand. People don’t understand what things mean on the packaging and people fear that for what they will do to their skin. I feel like I’m in class right now watching you all explain 😍

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for this video. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Really enjoyed that, i can feel the frustration through the phone. Yes bring Sam back 👏🏽👏🏽 well done Caroline 👌🏽

One of the best guests you've had on Caroline! I am in love...with Sams knowledge! More, more, more please! Loved it!

Brilliant video! Very educational about the beauty industry. Thank you for advocating science. ❤️❤️

Great talk! Nodding my head throughout the whole conversation.

I was watching a KZread video last week, the beauty bloggers name is Stephanie Lange. She was comparing talc in face powder to asbestos And is telling people to hold their breath when they powder their faces so as not to breathe in finishing powder because it has a similar danger to asbestos I’m sorry but I think this is incredibly irresponsible

Also, if she truly does believe that, why the hell is she even using a product with talc in it?! Her argument and behaviour don't fit..

An absolutely brilliant video! Would very much like for you to have Sam share again. So very informative and REAL!

Absolutely love your informative exchanges: you can't help but learn something and your dynamic is pure joy to watch. And the odd "real life" fact thrown is plain fun. Xx

Very enlightening!!!! Lots of food for thought and basic common sense! Loved it - yes more videos with you both would be fabulous please!!!

Love discussion like this, thank you. Are you two thinking about doing a series? So many great topics you clearly have the education and knowledge to share.

Fantastic talk, thanks! I kept yelling 'yasssssssssssss' all the way through

OMG this was amazing. Just love watching your videos. Always educational!

I can honestly say I absolutely loved listening to you both. That was by far the most interesting and honest video I've seen. Yes please to more with you both. Also going to follow Sam now on social media, what a amazing intelligent man he is. Love your no bullshit approach Caroline and how you say it as it is. Xxx

Loved this. Thank you both

Thank you , for a really informative conversation which makes total sense for a change 👍👍

Caroline and Sam, THANK YOU. Common sense is far from common these days. It's so important to be vocal about dispelling these myths because our society as a whole, not only the beauty industry but public health even our politics, is swayed by the popular myth du jour. I am sick of it. Like you with anti-vaxers, I don't engage anymore. I expect the respective industries these myths affect to stand their ground and educate rather than feed into this nonsense.

Yes Yes Yes to all of this thank you so much, great video. x

There are so many reasons I like and appreciate this talk and the people doing it. But most of all, because your approach and your thinking to me is whole, not from a singular perspektive only. And I think and hope that our society, that we need to evolve to this kind of wholehearted thinking. I would appreciate more videos with topics like this!

This was brilliant! So informative. Please more videos with Sam due to the clear scientific information. Thank you Caroline 🙏

Oh Caroline. I am so happy thar you share all this your amazing work with the world. These are really important things you are talking about and it was a very fun conversation to listen to. I'd love to see more of Sam. But above all, more of you. You're awesome! Thanks for everything you do! I love you. Yes I do!

This was excellent. So much useful information.

I could listen to this endlessly! I work in the fitness industry and this exists for us a s well. Some saying a certain thing isn't safe while the other tells us it's the only safe thing. Everything is bound to evolve. Unfortunately the internet has blurred so much of the really good info. That's why videos like this are so exciting! Maybe a video about ingredients and absorption? Thank you Caroline and Sam🧡

Yes to this video! Sam's such a cool guy, can we have him on more please. Could you do an episode on how to read a skincare ingredient deck and actually understand it somewhat? Maybe go over "commonly found" ingredients in skincare i.e. what is benzol-blah-blah-blah-ol for those of us who aren't scientists? Thank you.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE you channel! They way you come across and your content is so inspiring! You have inspired me to make my own Skincare KZread page now too!! Thank you so much! I can't wait to see your next post! xxx

Absolutely love your vids like this! Keep them coming!! I get so confused by the cosmetic & skin care company claims so much so that I'm starving for real, no frills info that's easy to understand. And, you two have just served up a veritable feast!! Thank You!!!😁😍😘💋🤗❣

This was a great video. Please do more like this.

BY POPULAR DEMAND, BRING HIM BACK! MORE VIDEOS PLEASE!

Super interesting! Loved watching this. So many things you both discussed were like Hallelujah moments !!!

Yes, please come back, this is so elaborating 👍🏻😊

Really enjoyed this video! So honest and just awesome! ❤️

Fabulous conversation and much needed!

What an amazing story and powerhouse both Sam & Caroline are. Wonderful chat 👏 just bought the range for my 11 year old son and will do that same for my daughter when the time comes 🙏

I love this. I will say that in some cases as a person with hyper sensitive skin, many brands marked as "clean" work for me because they tend to be limited ingredient and lacking things like fragrance and other things that will make my face look like a tomato. But I have had to educate myself about irritants, even understanding the difference between dry and dehydrated skin and how to treat it. The industry does NOTHING to help educate the consumer.

At last you have clarified the term and explained ' medical grade' thank you for this! X

I'm from the states and the term "medical grade" always gets me. I mean, why pay so much for a brand (ahem, Skinceuticals, ahem) where they are claiming to be far superior to other brands, but it is simply the same chemicals? I mean, while you are pondering your retinol Q and A, is some high end brand, like Skinceuticals, worth the extra price? Is their 1% retinol better than anybody else's 1% retinol? Is there a difference? Is it more finely milled? Magical? Will I get a unicorn with it? Isn't 1% just 1%? I get that some companies, like Neutrogena, don't like to disclose how much retinol is in their products, so with brands like those, there is no guarantee. But if a brand puts their percentage on the bottle, can we trust that? Or is some other high end brand (i.e, that costs more) more trustworthy on their retinol percentages? Thanks for letting me vent. :) Love your videos! Keep the education coming!

Thank you for this chat. So...thanking you More of this please

I love this video and the whole concept of your advice and your discussion. Excellent excellent! Love how you take apart the nonsense, thank you! The Sam Farmer Range looks excellent, more of that PLEASE!!!

Sam Farmer for President!!!!! Love. Love. Love listening to rational sensible conversations. I would love to see more educational content. Could listen to you and Sam talk for hours. 💕💕💕

Brilliant discussion. I'm so sick of the industry jumping on this 'clean' bandwagon. I find it so frightening the sheer volume of false info out there in internet world. I just direct everyone here if they want info on skin, end of.

What a brilliant person!! He must be my brother from another mother. That's the only explanation I can think for feeling so understood and validated from a person I never met and is of a completely different demographics. Thank you so much for the interview, Caroline.

Love your channel and content so much ! x

I freaking loved this video. What a breath of fresh air!! I have no tolerance for the misinformation and fear mongering constantly being spewed from so many brands. Please do more videos, continuing this discussion and spreading actual facts (SCIENCE). Kudos to you both and thank you! ❤️

When you say "I take Umbridge" it reminds me of Umbridge from Harry Potter😂

Brilliant!!! One day I would love your's (and Sam's) take on how can we be as low impact on the planet as possible, without washing our faces with mud and rainwater. I completely agree that there is no simple answer, I just want to do my best but it can be very hard to know which direction is less harmful. Many thanks! Awesome video by the way!

Sam is the loveliest! Please get him back Caroline x

Yes yes yes!!

One of my favourite videos from you ever!!

That was so excellent. I look forward to hearing from Sam again soon.

Oh how refreshing to listen to someone who is realistic and looks at evidence. The case for and against palm oil is complex, and I am so glad to hear you talking about the complexity of recyclable packaging. The moral of this discussion is that nothing in life is straightforward or black and white. Think, question and research.

Fantastic interview.....and spot on. Thank you

Another breath of fresh air from Caroline, to blow away the smell of bull****. It's such hardwork to navigate marketing rhetoric and language, and to understand what actually means anything tangible. Thank you for starting this conversation!

Yes!!!!!!! Love this!!!!!!!!! Thank you for actual science based information.

I'd love to hear a discussion on peptides and what it would take/takes to formulate a product that results in them actually absorbing to an effective level of the dermis. I read a few scholarly articles/studies recently that seemed to indicate that they had to be formulated in thin solutions with what the study termed as "micro-emulsifiers" (they used some proprietary emulsifiers in this particular study) in order for a significant percentage to get to the proper level of the skin. (Primarily because the peptides were water-based and would normally be prevented from absorbing significantly by the skin's lipid barrier.) And even then...if the packaging isn't adequate or appropriate, they would have degraded to the point of uselessness before they even make it to the skin. Cliff notes: are peptides actually worth spending money on? If they are, what types of formulations should we look for?

I'll take all the parabens instead of an essential oil or whatever else they are using to replace parabens. Do people not realize when you take a paraben out you have to replace it with something else??

I LOVED this. Thank you Caroline and Sam. Please bring your range to Australia!

I love this so much! I absolutely hate how the world seems to be moving away from science and moving towards the “it feels right to me, it’s MY truth” crap. And it’s so easy to buy into the fears and change how you view the world based on false information. I realised I was starting to buy into the paraben fear, and I have no credible source to back that fear up. But when you see and hear things enough times you start to believe it and all of a sudden it’s THE TRUTH. And thank you for mentioning the glass bottles and increased carbon footprint thing, it’s so important to look at the carbon footprint of the whole life cycle of a product to determine how sustainable it is. People think I’m nuts when I get a plastic bag rather than a paper one (because of the increased shipping weight and hence larger emissions for paper bags), and the whole “use cloth bags instead, it’s more environmentally friendly” thing can drive me bonkers. You have to use a cloth bag up to 400 times to bring the carbon footprint per usage down to that of one (!) sugar cane or corn derived plastic bag. And you can use the plastic bag several times and then recycle it or use it as a bin bag, which in Sweden where I live gets burned and turned into energy in the form of remote heating or electricity. People shouldn’t be afraid of (the right kind of) plastic, as long as you’re being smart about your usage and make sure it doesn’t end up in nature. And don’t even get me started on the vaccine debate.. vaccinate your kids goddammit!! And don’t take antibiotics if you don’t absolutely need to! There, I’m done.

Oh, that video made me so happy. It's tough sometimes to go through life and ads as a scientist.

Thurs is exactly what I need for my teens - any chance of the range coming to Australia? Great chat by the way, I'd love to see more. Have a great day!

Wonderful interesting and fun chat, please do some more!!!

More! More!! Please! 👏🏻

Sam & Caroline you are BRILLIANT! Common sense and just having a brain cell screams in this video. The sprays for young ones are shocking!

Absolutly fabulous video!

I enjoyed so much this interesting talk about the trends and the sustainability :) I even think to listen it again for all the good chunks of fun and interesting :)

Bloody love this video, so enjoyable to watch! With every video / blog post I consume that focuses more on science based content, I honestly get so inspired and excited to learn more and more!! I'm not in the scientific field, but it's a huge passion of mine. I think I need a change in career path haha :D

Yes! I'm so sick of hearing other people spout off about stuff they THINK they know about because they read the label on something... very tiring. This discussion is why I love your channel, Caroline, and people like Sam. Science, logic, common sese...

Really enjoyed this video, what a lovely man.

I wish there was a “superlike” button! As a science teacher I am always trying to get students to understand the importance of EVIDENCE (not just WIki). Lesson plans for next week might have be showing them this video; hopefully it will have the added bonus of encouraging personal hygiene 😂but at least it should make them consider the negative connotations of the product marketing and maybe sell a few of Sam’s products. Keep up the great content.
