Can a clay mask do more than just cleanse? In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty Podcast, I dive deep into the history and science of clay masks with none other than Anastasia Khodzhaeva co-founder and president of Young Goose. We explore the ancient roots of clay masks and the revolutionary approach behind our Detox Ritual. From ancient Greece to Native American traditions, clay has long been revered for its purifying properties, but we’ve taken it a step further. With clays like kaolin and bentonite, combined with modern biohacking ingredients, our Detox Ritual extracts pollutants and toxins and hydrates and strengthens your skin barrier. Anastasia and I break down the science of cation exchange and how this unique formula helps reduce inflammation, balance oil production, and enhance the absorption of other anti-aging products. This is skincare redefined for the modern world, targeting everything from environmental pollutants to skin laxity and pore size. Anastasia Khodzhaeva is a trailblazer in the beauty and biohacking space, with an extensive background in biology and wellness. As a co-founder of Young Goose, she has pioneered products that combine cutting-edge science with natural ingredients, setting new standards in skincare innovation.
