Dr. Carolina Reis Oliveira, PhD is a scientist who holds a doctorate in immunology and degrees in stem cell biology and tissue engineering. In 2016, determined to translate her academic achievements and passion for longevity into real-world impact, she relocated to Silicon Valley and co-founded the groundbreaking skincare company OneSkin. In this episode we discuss what happens in our bodies and our skin as we age, why conventional skincare might be doing more harm than good, and the rigorous testing process Dr. Oliveira uses in her lab. She shares how they are able to grow real skin, use donor skin and even age skin to see the impact major skincare brands—and OneSkin—have not just on appearance but function of the skin. We also explore why function is arguably more important than how our skin looks. Finally, we discuss the OS-01 peptide and why it is unique.
