Ep. 251: The Week in Beauty: is this the end of Youthforia? With Cosmetic Scientist and brand founder Florence Adepoju

BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion

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.
