Hi! I'm Payton, a cosmetic chemist, and these days, the beauty space is a crazy (but amazing) place that's unfortunately full of misinformation and lack of education. I realized early on that my passion was bridging the gap between product/ingredient knowledge and consumer understanding to help people make more educated and empowered decisions about their products and may work for them. I have always loved reviewing makeup/ skincare and making videos to share, here on this page, I do just that! I love sharing science-backed reviews and reccomendations, discussing what different ingredients are/do, and breaking down different marketing trends and what they really mean, all to help you feel more confident in your routine. My degree is in Cosmetic Science and Formulation Design with a pharmaceutical background, and I have a few years of experience working in the industry across marketing, product development, and science education. I'm currently pursuing my Masters in Cosmetic science and I can't wait to continue my understanding of the industry and be able to better communicate and make this knowledge more accessible! If any of this interests you, l'd love to see you follow my journey, and I hope you learn some new things about the science behind your products! If you've ever felt overwhelmed by beauty/skincare or just want to know what's actually in your products - you're in the right place! #cosmeticchemist #cosmeticformulator #cosmeticscience #skincarescience #makeup #productscience #sciencebackedskincare #beautyscience

If you’re sick of my talking about this lip product and you still haven’t purchased it, what are you doing? My love for this lip product runs almost two years deep at this point I swear there is nothing else quite like it🥹 #lipbalm #winterlipbalm #drylips #crackedlips #drylipsremedy

TLDR; Allure Best of Beauty 2026 has been controversial and people feel strongly that the picks made do not reflect our favorites as an industry. Let’s talk about why! -brands pay to submit their products - a lot of costs go into submitting for these awards which is limiting to smaller or indie brands -not based on industry favorites it’s based on brand submissions -check out reader choice awards if you want ones where they are chose by people in the industry rather than brand submissions! Go check out the content made by my friends @Zobia | Cosmetic Chemist and @sarah | chemist they had great discussion points and recommendations! #allurebestofbeauty #allurebestofbeauty2026 #bestofbeauty #skincareawards
