• Biochemistry Backed Skincare Formulations Ft. Kat Burki

  On this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta sits down with Kat Burki to explore biochemistry as a smarter approach to skincare formulation. With a background spanning epidemiology and healthcare, Kat brings a unique lens to beauty: treating the skin as a living organ with its own complex needs.What makes her philosophy stand out is the insistence on synergy. Rather than chasing “hero ingredients,” Kat focuses on how ingredients interact—pairing vitamins, peptides, and cofactors in ways that mirror how the body naturally processes them. She emphasizes that delivery systems and supportive bases are just as important as what’s in the formula. For Kat, skincare is about networks of ingredients working together, not isolated actives.Listeners will also hear her perspective on the skin’s own microbiome, and why protecting its balance is critical to resilience and long-term health.From her cult-favorite Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream to her innovative focus on scalp health, Kat shares how biochemistry can transform not just product design but the way we think about skin itself. She leaves us with practical advice: read labels wisely, look for biome support, and always ask whether a formula makes biological sense. Tune in to discover how skincare can move beyond hype to real healing with Kat Burki.To learn more about Kat Burki, visit her website and social media.

• The Future of Light Therapy and Beauty Innovation with Nuon Medical Technologies

  On this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Alain Dijkstra, CEO of Nuon Medical Technologies, to explore how medical-grade devices are redefining the future of skincare and beauty. With two decades of experience innovating in the medical device space, Dijkstra has transformed his expertise in surgical lighting and operating room technology into consumer-friendly tools that bring science-backed results straight to our vanities.At the center of his vision is light therapy—an area backed by thousands of clinical studies and proven benefits ranging from skin rejuvenation to wound healing. Unlike many treatments, it offers visible results with minimal side effects, making it one of the most exciting frontiers in beauty tech. But for consumers, safety and efficacy remain key, which is why FDA-cleared devices are at the core of Nuon’s mission.What makes Nuon truly groundbreaking is its approach to integrating technology directly into cosmetic packaging and everyday routines. Imagine a spatula or applicator that not only applies your cream but also delivers light therapy, improves absorption, and gives you real-time feedback on your skin’s hydration and oil levels. It’s a step beyond skincare—it’s turning daily rituals into measurable, tech-driven treatments.For beauty brands, this shift presents enormous opportunity. Devices don’t replace serums and creams; they enhance them, driving better results and deeper customer loyalty. As Dijkstra explains, the future of beauty is already here—and it’s powered by innovation that bridges the gap between medicine and cosmetics.To learn more about Nuon Medical, visit their website and social media.

• Blending Design, Storytelling, and Scent with The Maker Fragrances

  On this Fragrance Friday special of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta is joined by Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg, the visionary founders of The Maker—a brand that blends fragrance, design, and hospitality into an immersive sensory world. Known for revolutionizing beauty with Fresh, Lev and Alina have taken their creativity further, building an environment where scent is more than perfume—it’s memory, fantasy, and emotion brought to life.Their journey began with The Maker Hotel in Hudson, New York, a living canvas of textures and stories, where each space feels like stepping into a narrative. From there, they expanded into fragrance—crafting scents that don’t follow rigid note pyramids but instead tell stories. Each bottle is its own world: Fire, inspired by intimate nights by the fireplace; Naked, a celebration of dawn and intimacy; and Revel, born from the joy of milestones and love, designed to bottle life’s most unforgettable moments.For Lev, this connection to fragrance runs deep. Growing up in Soviet Russia with limited access to perfumes, he witnessed the transformative power of a single French fragrance his mother acquired on the black market—an experience that shaped his lifelong belief in scent as a gateway to emotion and memory.The Maker’s fragrances are intentionally genderless, designed to be universal yet deeply personal, allowing wearers to interpret them through their own lives. More than a brand, The Maker is an invitation to pause, savor, and connect with beauty in a fast-paced world. Tune in to hear Lev and Alina share the inspirations behind The Maker, their creative philosophy, and how they’re redefining what fragrance can mean.To learn more about The Maker, visit their website and social media.

• Herbalism and Botanicals in Skincare Ft. Leaf People

  On this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Julie Williams, founder of Leaf People, to explore the transformative power of plants, herbalism, and plant-based skincare. Julie takes listeners on a journey from her upbringing in rural Alaska—surrounded by wild forests and medicinal plants—to her global studies in botanical medicine, and ultimately to the creation of a skincare line that celebrates the intelligence of plants.Long before “clean beauty” became a buzzword, Julie envisioned formulations that go beyond the usual staples. Leaf People integrates powerful botanicals like reishi, rhodiola, ginkgo, burdock root, and horsetail, capturing the full spectrum of each plant’s chemical and energetic properties. Her approach is holistic, emphasizing whole-plant synergy and honoring the subtle energetics of each ingredient through practices like meditation, Reiki, and blessings by Tibetan monks.Julie also shares her philosophy of ally pairing, inspired by how plants naturally grow together in communities, and how this principle shapes her formulations. Beyond skincare, Leaf People reflects a broader vision of connection—between people, plants, and the environment. From farmers markets to direct customer education, Julie builds a brand rooted in respect, sustainability, and shared ecosystem thinking.This episode is an invitation to discover herbalism, explore the untapped potential of botanicals, and understand how intentional, plant-based skincare can nourish not only your skin but also your connection to nature. Tune in to hear Julie Williams share her journey, the inspiration behind Leaf People, and her perspective on how plants can heal, guide, and transform.To learn more about Leaf People, visit their website and social media.
