What if the solution to chronic skin issues wasn't another serum with ingredients you can't pronounce, but rendered pig fat? In this episode of the C3 Podcast: CODE Conscious Conversations, we welcome Charles Mayfield, founder of Farrow Skin.

We explore why most skincare products don't actually moisturize your skin, and why pasture-raised pork fat has nearly the same lipid profile as human skin. We also discuss the connection between what we eat and what we put on our bodies, and why chronic skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis signal deeper inflammatory issues.

Charles Mayfield is a father, bestselling author, and founder of Farrow Skin. With a background in health coaching, culinary publishing, and running a gym in Atlanta, he bridges the worlds of farming, food, and skincare. His mission is to help people understand what truly nourishes healthy skin in a world full of toxic chemicals and misleading labels.
