Skincare’s Dirty Secrets (From a Clean Beauty Chemist)

Ever wondered what really goes into that $100 serum on your shelf or what brands DON’T tell you about that “clinically approved” label slapped on your products? In this week’s GlowJob, we sit down with Krupa Koestline— cosmetic chemist, pioneer in “Clean Beauty”, and founder of KKT Labs, to unpack the beauty industry from the inside out.
Krupa reveals the shocking truth about product costs (spoiler: that $50 serum probably costs $5 to make), why vitamin C might be the most overhyped ingredient in skincare, and the underrated actives she actually swears by. We get into clean beauty versus fear-mongering, loopholes in U.S. ingredient labeling, and the real difference between dermatologist-tested and chemist-approved.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s really behind that influencer-backed launch, this episode will blow your mind—and maybe your bathroom shelf.

In this week’s News Roundup, GlowJob co-hosts Julia and Sasa dive into the rollercoaster world of beauty business and trends.

From Shade Gaps to Michelle Yeoh: Yu-Chen Shih on bootstrapping Orcé Cosmetics

GlowJob's Julia and Sasa sit down with Yu-Chen Shih, founder of Orcé Cosmetics. From growing up in Singapore to navigating mismatched foundations at every makeup counter, Yu-Chen shares how those frustrations fueled her mission to build a brand that actually sees Asian skin.
She gets candid about the roadblocks—VCs telling her the Asian market was “too small,” chemists who only wanted to copy Sephora’s bestsellers—and the breakthrough moments, like Michelle Yeoh wearing Orcé on the red carpet. The conversation dives deep into beauty inclusivity, undertones beyond “yellow,” and the challenges of bootstrapping in an influencer-driven economy.

Rek Lee (Netflix’s Beef) Talks Skincare, LA Dating & Waxing His Crack

On this month’s episode of BroJob, GlowJob duo Julia & Sasa welcome actor and rapper Rek Lee for a ride-or-die convo about skincare, dating, and—yes—getting his butt crack waxed on a livestream. From Queens to LA (where he somehow still refuses to drive), Rek spills on his journey from NYC rap life to landing a role on Netflix’s Beef.
The trio dive into everything from high-maintenance girlfriends (spoiler: Rek kind of wants one) to why your fridge says more about you than your Hinge profile. Equal parts roast, boast, and chaos—this episode proves that skincare isn’t just for the girls, LA dating is a contact sport, and farting without a “hair buffer” is a real-life plot twist.

Influencer Events, Girl Math, and the Price of Pretty

Is the influencer event scene officially unhinged? In this episode of GlowJob, your fav bestie duo Julia and Sasa pull back the curtain on the world of beauty launches. From awkward influencer parties to sipping “face lattes” at a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon’s office — they spill the real ROI behind these events, the pressure to perform online, and why “going out” just isn’t what it used to be.
The girls also unpack how K-beauty is conquering the U.S. market, break down luxury beauty splurges (would you drop $1,100 on a perfume?), and justify it all with some practical “girl math.” Plus: a fiery Sex and the City character ranking, and a debate on whether Gen Z has any show as iconic.
