Hi, I'm Valerie, and you're listening to the Beauty Brains.

Welcome to the Beauty Rings, a show where real cosmetic chemists answer your beauty product questions and give you an insider's look at the

cosmetic industry. This is episode 372. I'm your host Valerie George and with me today is

Perry Romanowski. Hi Perry. Hey Valerie how are you so good to see you? I'll tell you how

I'm doing in just a minute but first on today's show we're going to cover a lot of questions including does topical collagen really work?

How good is the What's in my Jar website?

What is the best product or ingredient

for long lasting hydration?

How good is the trophy line mainly long hair

polisher as a daily leaven?

Is a scoreable tetraisopomatate and tetra hexadusal escourate the same ingredient and

wow what a big show

what is the isoelectric and isso ionic point for hair and hair care products and should anyone care

This sounds like an exciting show I'm excited or at least we can make it exciting. I've got my long drink. Have you ever heard the

the finished long drink citrus thing? I have not. Zero sugar so you know it it must use like that sucralose or something like that

but it still has 99 calories how does it that? I guess that's the alcohol.

Yeah, it must be the alcohol.

Well, it's very citrusy and it's fine enough if you don't have a, you know, a Dr pepper to drink well I think dr pepper sounds better but I know

I do I do too I just don't have one do you remember that song from the 70s of the dr

pepper theme song?

We are of a different generation Perry so I do not remember.

All right, wait, it goes, I drink Dr Pepper and a proud part of an original crowd the taste is making peppers everywhere I go I'm a pepper he's you know none of this no no I I think there's a reason Dr Pepper discontinued this theme song.
