Episode Recap
Before gracing the shelves at New York’s Printemps store and being found in the hands of makeup artist Hung Vanngo on the red carpet, Kat Burki skincare has long been a quiet luxury spa favourite. Today, founder Kat Burki explains how she managed to evolve the brand beyond its “raw beauty” roots, coming into its own as a biochemistry-backed company that’s bringing microbiome know-how to post-procedure care this fall. *Special thank you to the team at Kat Burki for including us on this brand discovery trip!
Tune in to hear about:
Kat Burki’s hero product: The story behind the best-selling Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream, featuring stabilized Stay-C, reishi mushroom, and colloidal silver.
The microbiome truth: Why live probiotics in skincare are often “dead on arrival” according to Kat—and why prebiotics, postbiotics, and bio-fermentation are the real keys to balancing your skin barrier.
Rethinking inflammation: Why some acute inflammation after a procedure can be a good thing (?!) for skin recovery—and why occlusives might not be the boon for wound care that you think it is.
Post-procedure promise: A sneak peek at her brand-new innovation, Regenesis, designed for post-procedure use
