Before Ron Robinson became social media’s favorite cosmetic chemist, he had already built a varied career in beauty. In 1989, he was hired on the spot to formulate and develop products for Clinique and La Mer, under Estée Lauder. He formulated new SKUs and innovated products like Clinique’s Turn Around Cream, which was one of the first products to use salicylic acid as a topical treatment gel. Despite his obvious aptitude for beauty science, he was on track to become a doctor like his brothers. To his parents' dismay, he dropped out of medical school but quickly found his footing in some of the most successful beauty labs. This experience is precisely why Hailey Bieber asked him to help lead RHODE, the billion-dollar brand, to success. His experience in the lab and engaging with consumers 1-1 also informed his decision to launch Beauty STAT. Ron holds a rare position as CEO, founder, and cosmetic chemist in Beauty STAT, and he’s excited to continue innovating for a more knowledgeable consumer base.

Tune in as we discuss:

• Tips on how to determine if luxury products are worth it
• How he approaches developing products for melanated skin
• Recommendations on topical treatments for fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles
• Why owning your beauty technologies is a big deal
• How he is interested in taking on the 50+ beauty consumer market
