This Week in Beauty episode is dedicated to the uproar around beauty brand Youthforia and its less than inclusive Date Night Skin Tint Serum Foundation. In this episode I share a little backstory on former guest and founder of Youthforia, Fiona Co Chan; discuss the criticism of the lack of inclusive shades which saw them literally putting black pigment in a bottle and calling it a foundation; and I chat with Cosmetic Scientist and founder of cult brand MDMflow, Florence Adepoju. I’d love to know what you think - are you a fan of the brand? Does this disappoint you? Or are they already cancelled in your book? Let me know over in the DMs on Instagram @beautymepodcast or comment over on Threads @charisse_kenion. If you enjoyed this episode do please leave a review or rating wherever you listen as it really helps others to find the show! Thanks for being here and I’ll see you next time.
