Start Me Up: Adeline Koh, Ph.D.

Adeline Koh is the Founder and CEO, and she started Sabbatical Beauty while on academic sabbatical because she was frustrated with the beauty products on the market. Many generic products loudly proclaim their "active" ingredients on their packaging, but these actives only make up a tiny percentage of ingredients. Inspired by the DIY beauty scene, she decided to start making her own skincare. We talked about what inspired Adeline to create a political skincare line and how her years in academia influenced her decision to start anew. Adeline talked about how beauty is rooted in social and political inequities and why self-care is so important to have the strength to defend and fight for a thriving democracy. There is so much good stuff in this interview and keep in mind, men use skincare!
