Summary

Today’s uninterrupted, bonus episode is in partnership with our friends at Allies of Skin. Meet Nicolas Travis, the biochemist and pharmaceutical scientist-turned-skincare entrepreneur who founded Allies of Skin after a sudden accident resulted in devastating facial injuries and years of inner trauma.

Listen in as Nicolas spills the secrets behind the viral, feel-good brand that’s earned more than 30 internationally-recognized beauty awards, along with a loyal community that includes Hailey Bieber, January Jones and Kaia Gerber. *Please note that the topics of abuse, trauma and suicide are discussed.

You’ll find out:

From peptides to growth factors, exosomes, snail mucin and more - we learn which ingredients are worth the investment for your skin concern.
Why Nicolas traded trendy “salmon sperm” facials to heal his skin for a treatment that’s proven to be far more effective
The 101 on Allies of Skin’s “Swiss Army knife of moisturizers,” the best-selling, Antioxidant Firming Daily Treatment
The reason why the brand’s Epidermal Growth Factor Serum earned a 5,000 + wait-list, and sold out four times
How Nicolas is turning trauma into healing, with Allies of Skin’s recent #inmyhealingera campaign that features fellow skin-trauma survivors
For reference, the book we mention is “The Body Keeps The Score”
