Is This $265 “Self-Healing” Face Cream Really The GOAT? An Augustinus Bader Explainer
04/21/21 • 43 min
1 Listener
Augustinus Bader’s pricey “The Cream” is only three years old, so why is it already outpacing industry legends like La Mer and Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair? Earlier this year, WWD’s Beauty Inc. voted the iconic blue bottle in the #1 spot on its list of the 100 Greatest Skincare Products Of All Time,” as voted by 300 industry insiders. Celebrities are hooked, and sales of the $265 anti-aging moisturizer jumped from $20 million to $70 million in 2020 – pandemic be damned!
Today, co-founders Augustinus Bader and biotech investor Charles Rosier explain the science behind the “self-healing” cream, inspired by the German stem cell scientist’s miraculous wound-healing hydrogel he developed that when applied topically to severe burn victims, eliminated the need for invasive skin grafts and surgeries – with astonishingly superior results. We’ll find out how this stem cell cream is radically different than any of the other “stem cell” creams lining store shelves; why they recently upgraded the hero formula, and (scoop alert!) what high-tech products you can expect next.

What Does Cruelty-Free Beauty Really Mean? Your Complete 101 Guide
Welcome to Earth Month! Today we’re finding out why “Cruelty-Free” cosmetics is the topic on everyone’s lips – and what it means, really. Helping us navigate, Carlene and Jill are joined by expert blogger Suzana Rose – aka Cruelty-Free Kitty – whose watchdog blog has earned upwards of 600K page views per month, and has been featured in Byrdie, Refinery29, and BBC. Plus, Dr. Carol Treasure hits us with some scientific realness. She’s the founder and CEO of the UK-based XCellR8, an ethical testing lab devoted to 100% animal-free testing for leading cosmetic companies and ingredient suppliers.
Listen in as we cover the fundamentals of what constitutes cruelty-free beauty, and the big head-scratcher: why some beauty companies might still be animal-testing today. Plus, we unpack the latest headlines you may have seen around China's Animal Testing Laws coming into effect May 1st, 2021. Stay tuned until the end to find out which logos you can really trust when you’re shopping (like, does a Bunny on a label suffice?) along with a few of our guests’ personal cruelty-free faves.
