Glow Journal

In episode three of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts sits down with founder of Paula’s Choice, Paula Begoun. Dubbed by Oprah Winfrey as “The Cosmetics Cop,” Paula’s quest for “truth in beauty” has guided her entire career. Following an ongoing struggle with acne and a search for products that deliver on their products, Paula spent the early part of her career sharing her research across 21 books and countless television appearances.

1995 saw Paula launch her eponymous skincare line, Paula’s Choice, exclusively online- a time when most didn’t have dial-up, let alone ambitions to run a business exclusively online. Since then, Paula has made a name for herself by formulating fliss-free, truthful skincare products and calling out the companies who don’t deliver on their claims.

In this conversation, Gemma and Paula discuss the need for more transparency in skincare, the way in which the internet can bolster a business

plus the rapidly changing face of the beauty industry.

Having launched Rationale in 1992, Richard remains at the helm of the business as the company’s Director of Research and Development, citing human skin as the inspiration behind each and every Rationale formula.

In this conversation, Gemma and Richard discuss the power of Isotropic formulations, precisely what the sun is doing to our skin and how epigenetic testing is changing the face of skincare as we know it.
