Lip Service: The Dirty Secret Behind Celebrity Beauty Brands | Laura DiGirolamo, ESQ

About this episode

Laura DiGirolamo reveals the hidden dangers of ingredients in celebrity beauty lip products.

The beauty industry has been putting ingredients in your lip products that they'd NEVER be allowed to put in your food — and nobody is talking about it. Laura DiGirolamo is a beauty attorney, industry insider, and founder of YOM Beauty, and she's blowing the whistle on one of the biggest blind spots in modern beauty. We're talking flavored balms, vanilla frosting lip masks, tinted glosses — products literally designed for your mouth, treated like they never enter your body at all. She breaks down what's actually in them, why the science is scarier than anyone wants to admit, and what industry insiders already know but won't say out loud. Thank you to our sponsors!
