In this week’s new episode of the Skincarma Pod, I’m joined by Brian Ecclefield, Founder and Managing Director of Validated Claim Support, the clinical testing lab setting new standards for ethics, accuracy, and transparency in cosmetic claims.

Few topics have shaken the beauty world this year quite like “SunscreenGate” — the scandalous revelation that the SPF validation tests behind many popular sunscreens may have been manipulated, falsified or simply fallen short, leading to careless, even dangerous mislabeling and haphazard sunscreen product recalls.

There’s nobody more uniquely qualified to explain how we got here and where we’re headed than Brian Ecclefield. For more than 16 years, Brian has designed and overseen clinical studies for skincare, haircare, personal care, and OTC products like sunscreens. He specializes in the rigorous evaluation of claims, including the complex world of SPF validation.

And he’s been on the frontlines — with unique insights into how the whole sunscreen testing fiasco unfolded.

Find out how the scandal happened and how Brian believes it doesn’t ever have to happen again.

🤔 What’s the Difference Between Ectoin and Hyaluronic Acid?

Both Ectoin and Hyaluronic Acid are naturally occurring humectants popular in skincare products for hydrating and soothing the skin. But that’s where their key similarities end.

Ectoin protects the skin barrier by forming a shield around skin cells, preventing water loss and environmental damage. Hyaluronic Acid hydrates by drawing moisture from the air into the skin and pulling water to the surface from skin’s deeper water reserves. (This is not ideal.)

Ectoin is great for more long-lasting hydration and repair while Hyaluronic Acid is best for instantly boosting hydration and plumping the skin surface.

Notably, Ectoin has a small molecular weight (~142 Daltons), easily passing the 500-Dalton rule which governs pe*******on of molecules through the skin barrier. On the other hand, the molecular weight of Hyaluronic Acid can range from 1,000,000 Daltons for high molecular weight molecules.
