Season 7 is here — and before we dive into everything coming this season, Lia sits down alone to catch you up on everything that happened while you were waiting.

First: Skin Leaf Cosmetics stepped onto the floor of the Be+Well Show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida — our first major trade show in the United States. Five years after starting a brand in a kitchen in Portugal, we showed up. In person. With a booth, with products, and with everything we've built. That moment deserved to be named out loud.

Second: if you've come across a brand called Leaf Cosmetics at leaf-cosmetics.com — there is something you need to know. Lia addresses it directly, briefly, and clearly. That brand is not us. There is an active legal process. And Skin Leaf is not going anywhere.

And third: a preview of the season that's coming. From a daughter who watched her father live with psoriasis for 45 years and decided steroids weren't the only answer — to a founder who built a skincare brand from a hospital bed because her daughter's eczema had no solution on the market — to the chemist who removed water from her entire product line and replaced it with Moroccan botanicals. Season 7 is full of founders who built something real from a real place. And it starts right now.

Sunscreen fraud. Lab samples sold as luxury. Celebrity brands collapsing. Children on retinol.

The skincare industry is going through it — and most brands are staying silent. Not us.

In this solo episode, Lia breaks down the four biggest scandals shaking the beauty world right now, separates fact from fear, and gives you practical tools to protect yourself as a consumer.

Because transparency isn't a trend. It's the foundation.

Most people don't have a skincare problem. They have a consistency problem.

In this episode of Skin Leaf Talks, host Lia Cardoso sits down with Marlee Bruno — PA-C, aesthetic injector, and founder of Mind Body & Soul Medical in Pensacola, FL — for a conversation that cuts through the noise of trend-driven beauty culture.

Together they unpack why 10-step routines are sabotaging your skin, what over-layering actually does to your barrier, the most dangerous habits Marlee sees in her clinic daily, and the short list of ingredients that genuinely deliver — including what Skin Leaf's Antioxidant Facial Oil, Sensitive Facial Oil, and Anti-Aging Moisturizer were formulated to do.

No trends. No filler. Just the skincare truth you've been missing.
