Katie and Cris sit down with Lindsay Nahmiache, CEO of Veriphy Skincare, a Canadian-founded, science-backed brand born out of research at the University of Guelph. In this episode, they get into why ingredient quality matters more than marketing hype, how to spot a white-labelled skincare product, and why less is genuinely more when it comes to your skin. Lindsay also shares what makes Canadian skincare standards different, why fragrance is a hormone disruptor you'll want to ditch, and how the skincare industry is finally starting to shift toward science and simplicity.
