  • Great listen!

    I love how CARMINE breaks down the science in an action based plan and gives me direction on what to use. The skin care world is very confusing and I really enjoy this podcast and I’m learning so much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Skincarma Pod | Ep. 85: Is Simpler Skincare Better? Barrier Health, Tallow & the Anti-Aging Myth with Becca Zook
Q: What is Becca's view on anti-aging marketing, and what changed for her?
Becca discusses moving away from anti-aging branding, arguing that sunscreen is the key anti-aging product and that aging should be embraced, with a shift toward nurturing rather than fighting aging.
The Skincarma Pod | Ep. 83: The Mechanics of Desire: Luxury, Beauty & the Imagery That Makes Us Want More — with Anderson
Q: What do luxury brands understand about human behavior that other brands often forget?
Luxury brands sell a lifestyle and a sense of belonging; in the modern era this means creating immersive, authentic experiences and content that people want to participate in, rather than relying solely on traditional advertising.
The Skincarma Pod | Ep. 81: Beauty Doesn't Need More Products. It Needs Better Ones — with Shannaz Schopfer
Q: What makes a founder likely to succeed in this space?
Successful founders typically demonstrate realistic planning, have adequate funding to cover development, testing, and marketing, and understand that product development is a multi-step process that involves careful coordination with manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. They also prioritize knowing their audience and pricing strategy from the start.
The Skincarma Pod | Ep. 81: Beauty Doesn't Need More Products. It Needs Better Ones — with Shannaz Schopfer
Q: When a founder comes to you, what would you say are the biggest misconceptions they typically have?
Many founders think success happens overnight and that a great concept directly translates into a finished product. In reality, translating an idea into a market-ready item requires time, careful planning of ingredients, texture, scent, viscosity, packaging, and distribution—plus regulatory readiness and a strategy for both local and global markets.
The Skincarma Pod | Ep. 79: When the Surgeon Became the Patient: Healing from the Inside Out with Dr. Kami Parsa
Q: What is the key turning point that changed your approach to healing and skincare?
A finger mallet injury during play that forced a six-week healing process led me to research nutrition and recovery protocols; applying ICU-style nutrition to surgical care and then publishing a book on Heal and a recovery-focused supplement line, Mendora, reframed how I view healing and skin health.
