PODCAST: Evidence-based naturals – A pharmacist’s approach to natural skin care

Related tags indie pioneers podcast Australia Indie beauty brands

In this episode of Indie Pioneers, we chat with Christina Su, founder of Australian brand Bayeco Skincare, about how her pharmaceutical training influenced the development of her evidence-based natural skin care line.

Su began her pharmaceutical training after her sister – a pharmacist too – suggested it would be a good idea.

“My sister said to me that you could work part-time as a pharmacist. So, for the next two years, my goal was to work part-time in pharmacy.”

Unfortunately, it did not turn out to be as cushy as she hoped.

“I remember thinking, this is such a boring course. It was about chemical structures, statistics – how was this ever going to help me?”

She did end up sticking through her training and became a fully-fledged pharmacist.

Over a decade in the pharmaceutical field proved to be an invaluable experience that would greatly influence her true calling – skin care.

“As a pharmacist, you are trained not to look at the brand itself. When I pick up a box of medication… I would always go straight to the ingredients list... and match the ingredients to the symptoms. I think that’s the same with skin care.”
