Creating Safe Skincare Products

Mei Yung - Ageless Zen Skincare





On the Value of Safe Skincare: "It's not about so much about vanity, but having healthy skin."

Maintenance free is what we all seem to want.  But with some things, we don't get that option.  Our skin, that we do not get a second chance with, is one of those things we need to maintain in order to keep healthy.

Mei Yung Lee, the founder and CEO of Ageless Zen, a skincare company built on a mission of authenticity, transparency, and giving back. Mei shares her personal journey from investor and philanthropist to entrepreneur, inspired by her search for truly natural skincare solutions and her father's legacy as an herbal doctor in Hong Kong. Together, James and Mei dive deep into the world of skincare ingredients, industry regulations, and why many products on the market don’t meet the standards consumers deserve.

Mei details how Ageless Zen’s products are created with scientific rigor, natural ingredients, and minimal preservatives, emphasizing safety and efficacy while supporting non-profit initiatives like funding schools and cancer research. She pulls back the curtain on the challenges of sourcing rare ingredients, the complexities of creating shelf-stable, effective creams without harmful chemicals, and the thought behind her innovative, eco-friendly product packaging.



Listen as Mei details how she started her skincare company and what she has learned throughout the process.

Podcast Transcription:



Mei Yung [00:00:00]:

Well, interesting. That's a very interesting question you asked. And I think your listeners should also understand it too. FDA in America actually does not, you know, approve any product. They have a set of guidelines and they assume people will follow that guideline. And you build your product in the facility that is approved by the FDA and they can check the facility, all of that to make sure, you know, that everything is up to that particular standard. But mostly it's up to a skincare company to uphold it. And like, for example, I can tell you currently US company, you know, have about three or four hundred ingredients they're not allowed to use because they're toxic.



Mei Yung [00:00:48]:

They're highly sensitive like you said. But in Canada there's over a thousand or fifteen hundred that matter. Depends on where you look at.
