The first FDA-approved UV filter in 20+ years is finally here! This week we're breaking down everything you need to know about bemotrizinol (a.k.a. BEMT), the buzzy sunscreen filter that’s hitting vanities this month, with Ava Matthews, co-founder of Ultra Violette. The cult Aussie brand’s Supreme Screen SPF 50 sells somewhere in the world every 30 seconds, but last year, they had to pull one product from the market after Choice testing showed that the SPF protection did not measure up to the amount on the label. Listen in as Ava takes us behind the scenes behind this shocking and costly event, and the steps they've taken to regain customer trust.In this episode you'll discover:What BEMT actually is — and what makes it different than other UV filters on the marketWhy BEMT is a god-send for acne-prone girlies, like the brand’s first-to-Sephora BEMT drop, Unblock ScreenThe truth about “100% mineral” sunscreens vs. sneaky hybrid formulas — and the boosters to be on the lookout for on the labelThe real talk on "Sunscreen Gate" — the recall that made headlines around the world, what actually happened behind the scenes, and how Ultra Violette overhauled its testingAva's own sunscreen routine: the formula she trusts after “crazy” CO2 laser, the one she relies on for mid-day touch-ups and the glassy new formula she’s testing for a 2027 launch!Shop everything in this episode: ULTRA VIOLETTE | Unblock Screen SPF 50 Breakout-Friendly Skinscreen: (use code: BEAUTY20 for 20% off)ULTRA VIOLETTE - Spf 40 Velvet Screen Blurring Mineral Skinscreen: (use code: BEAUTY20 for 20% off)ULTRA VIOLETTE | Fave Screen SPF 50 Lightweight Milky Face Sunscreen with Bemotrizinol: (use code: BEAUTY20 for 20% off)ULTRA VIOLETTE - Supreme Screen SPF 50 One-and-Done SKINSCREEN 50ml: (use code: BEAUTY20 for 20% off)ULTRA VIOLETTE - Future Screen SPF 50 Modern Mineral Skinscreen: (use code: BEAUTY20 for 20% off)ULTRA VIOLETTE - Sheen Screen SPF 50 Hydrating Lip Balm (use code: BEAUTY20 for 20% off)ULTRA VIOLETTE - Preen Screen SPF 50 Reapplication Mist Skinscreen (use code: BEAUTY20 for 20% off)Shop more of my favorite products here: https://shopmy.us/shop/breakingbeautypodcast💄 JOIN THE BREAKING BEAUTY COMMUNITY 💄YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@breakingbeautypodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/breakingbeautypodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@breakingbeautypodcastFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1401081996684767Newsletter Signup: https://breakingbeautypodcast.substack.com/Podcast Hotline: 1-844-227-0302🎙️ MEET THE HOSTSCarlene Higgins: https://www.instagram.com/carlenehiggins/Jill Dunn: https://www.instagram.com/jilldunnbeauty/🎙️ For more related conversations like this, check out these episodes:Sunscreen Dos and Don'ts With Dermatologist Dr. Michelle Henry.

Before gracing the shelves at New York’s Printemps store and being found in the hands of makeup artist Hung Vanngo on the red carpet, Kat Burki skincare has long been a quiet luxury favourite.

From Carlene’s hair colour saga that feels as long as the blockbuster summer flick “The Odyssey,” to the sunscreen formulas that we’ve used to the last drop (and one beloved version that we’re saying goodbye to against our will!)

What if true skincare “anti-aging” happens deep below the surface? This week we’re exploring everything to do with what we’re dubbing “cell care” — the shift toward cellular longevity, skin health span and managing aging cells. Joined by Dr. Alessandra Zonari, chief scientific officer at OneSkin, we’re breaking down DNA repair, senescent “zombie" cells, red light therapy, exosomes vs. peptides and why skin collagen is like gluten in bread. This conversation is brought to you in part by OneSkin.  In this episode we cover:Genetics vs. habits: Why science shows that only 10 to 25 per cent of skin aging is genetic, leaving up to 90 per cent in your hands.Quiet saboteurs: The everyday habits—like cutting sleep repair windows short and switching products too fast—that sabotage long-term skin health span.DNA clocking: Surface skin scanners like VISIA don't tell the whole story; meet MolClock, with an algorithm that reads your DNA to reveal true cellular age.Is “collagen banking” legit? Why (contrary to TikTok belief) you cannot stock up on collagen inside your skin, and what to focus on if you really want to protect your collagen for longer.Is red light therapy worth it? The cell biologist weighs in.UV radiation and tanning: What sun damage looks like under a cell biologist’s microscope, and how UV rays accelerate dreaded “zombie” cells.Exosomes vs. peptides: Dr. Zonari breaks down the difference between targeted, single-message peptides and the complex delivery systems of topical exosomes.Sneak peek: Coming in September, hear the scoop on OneSkin’s next innovation, a new, richer version of its iconic Face Moisturizer, two years in development..PROMO CODES:  When you support our sponsors, you support the creation of Breaking Beauty Podcast!  One SkinBorn from over a decade of longevity research, OneSkin’s OS-01 Peptide™ is proven to target the visible signs of aging, helping you unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age.

And we know that the whole natural-nail manicure movement is gaining steam — what if our natural toenails could transform to bright, white and polish-free too?  In pursuit of our smoothest feet and brightest toenails yet, this week we sat down with Marcela Correa, known as the “Foot Whisperer” of Manhattan. Marcela is a medical pedicurist with more than 20 years of experience.

Barb Stegemann is back to inspire us once more, just in time for Mother’s Day! Also known as the “Philosopher Queen,” Barb is a longtime friend of our show and a complete force to be reckoned with in the beauty business. Barb launched The 7 Virtues fragrance brand out of her garage in Halifax, Nova Scotia on International Women’s Day back in 2010, after her best friend, Capt. Trevor Greene, was wounded in Afghanistan by the Taliban while serving there.Barb then sowed the seeds of what would become a historic social enterprise and commercial success story, buying fair-trade essential oils from farmers in war-torn regions to make perfumes for peace — and now The 7 Virtues is in 2,000 Sephora stores around the world.Tune in to hear about:What makes a viral moment: why The 7 Virtues “Santal Vanille and “Amber Vanilla” were the clean perfumes to pop off on TikTokWhy “Vanilla Woods,” launched in 2018, was years ahead of the gourmand trend, and what makes it the brand’s bestseller to this dayWhat makes a fragrance “clean” anyway? Barb explains fragrance load, organic sugar-cane alcohol and a 24-hour wear test Why “Strawberry Jam” is the biggest launch in brand history, and why Barb believes everyone wants to smell like layer cake at this moment in timeInside The 7 Virtues Atelier on the Halifax Waterfront, and a major scoop on Barb’s expansion plans for the custom fragrance concept storeThe Sephora full-circle moment: from taking part in Sephora Accelerate in 2018 to mentoring the next class of Sephora Squad creators in 2026“Dragons’ Den,” redux: the original pitch that landed Brett Wilson's $125,000 investment (a reported 56-fold return), and what it felt like to return as a guest dragon for the show's 20th anniversaryWhy being underestimated is a gift, and the Marcus Aurelius wisdom Barb has repeated to her kids since they were small: “Be prepared to meet the angry, the lost, the jealous, the jaded.

Don’t forget you can also watch this live event on our YouTube channel! You’ll hear about:The “Cost of Smelling Good” index: We break down a new survey of 1,500 Canadians that reveals a staggering 53 per cent say the cost of living is actively hindering their self-care.The reality of reality TV: Sarah gives us the “behind the scenes” on living in “The Traitors” manor (was it really haunted?!)Body confidence vs. neutrality: Why Sarah is leaning into "saying yes" to life — from Sports Illustrated runways to reality TV—even when she doesn't feel 100 per cent confident in her skin.The PMDD journey: Sarah opens up about her diagnosis with premenstrual dysphoric disorder and how a shower can help with the most difficult days.Rollback pricing?!: We play a live round of "The Price is Right" with Suave’s new 48-hour deodorants and body washes, because you will not believe these budget-friendly prices.The unsung hero: Why we think glycerin needs hyaluronic acid's publicist—and why it’s really the No. 1 ingredient for dry skin.A message from Suave, this week’s show sponsor: Major self-care update: Suave is now available in Canada! We’ve been loving their affordable self-care lineup, including antiperspirant deodorant with 48-hour sweat and odour protection and hydrating body washes made with glycerin and vitamin E.
