Microcosm Publishing & Distribution - Clean: The New Science of Skin
Clean: The New Science of Skin was named a Best Book by both NPR and Vanity Fair in 2020.
It aims to address the question of the long-term effects our modern habits have on our bodies and our minds. While plenty of people try to keep skin healthy, there is no actual consensus on how to do that, even from health authorities.
Author James Hamblin runs the gamut, interviewing dermatologists, microbiologists, allergists, immunologists, aestheticians, bar-soap enthusiasts, venture capitalists, Amish people, theologians, and straight-up scam artists, After all of that, he comes to conclusion that the goal of skin care should update the meaning of “clean” in the natural sense. In the long run, this can save time, money, energy, and water!

Beauty is Magic
I started Luna & Lark Apothecary with a hefty dose of encouragement from friends & family because I was frustrated with the hours of research it took to find brands that met my ethical and safe standards.
I believe we can do better. We can create wellness products without harmful chemicals. We can use packaging that's less harmful to the environment. We can get clinically proven results without harming animals. We can invest in woman-owned & indie brands that do more for our economy.
✨ I hope something here helps you find your glow!
