I haven't rolled my eyes so many times at one of these routines before. She spoke so confidently about things that were straight up false and probably blatant lies to sell product.

[@jt3214]

It 100% comes off like an ad for the brand. If she's apparently an ambassador for transparency in skincare then how can she make all these falls claims. Also just because something is toxic to a fetus or infant doesn't mean it's toxic to an adult.

As someone who takes 24 hour long flights - please don't spray your mists or apply your heavily scented products on the plane. It's obnoxious. You're on public transport.

[@foxymama2003]

I agree SO MUCH with this request! I was seated next to a woman who was using the most horrid smelling floral mist every few minutes (she must have gone through the entire bottle) and I must have looked miserable because the flight attendant actually upgraded me to a first class seat 20 minutes into the flight! If you need moisture on your face during a flight, PLEASE use a product that is unscented at least! I have horribly dry skin and I use a thick layer of moisturizer or a sheet mask or a water based mist with no scent. Just remember that this is not a private plane that only you are taking, have mercy on those around you (this also applies to personal space, I had a very tipsy seat neighbor who fell asleep on my shoulder!)

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Absolutely right! IMHO. it's also considerate not to wear perfume or cologne on airplanes, and this is my rule for myself. And good for the flight attendant! People could just get a bottle and spray themselves with tap water; it would have the same effect.

[@SuperMarkizas]

She is not flying economy, 1st class has good sepration between flyers, so it’s more reasonable behavior.

I disagree with Olivia. I wouldn’t care if my skincare smelled like burning tires if it gave me perfect skin. Even though I’m not sensitive to fragrance, it doesn’t add anything to my skincare experience and I’d rather later in several steps of skincare that all contain fragrance. Just light a candle!

[@darkydoom]

Same, my current skin care has no smell at all. If I need a treatment and the treatment step smells bad, I don't care, give it to me. If it smells amazing, bonus.

[@Elspm]

I'm half and half on it, if something works really well but has a smell that I hate it'll make me feel less inclined to pick it up. However for me, a lot of added perfumes are far worse than the natural (sometimes slightly strange) scent. I suffer from migraines, so even if it was the most effective cream in the world I'm not gonna use it if it has a problem scent.

[@Lovebirdd]

ME TOO. I literally use Faded by Topicals 5x a week and it smells like sulfur (rotten eggs). But guess what? It's an amazing product that does great things for my skin. I was rolling my eyes throughout this video, she was just saying so many things I disagreed with.

[@gp2671]

I think products labeled as clean, natural, non-toxic are fine but I dislike when people say these products will never harm my skin. I have tried these types of products but my skin freaks out most of the time because they are full of essential oils/extracts/fragrance. My friend, who was into clean skincare, tried a product with lemon extract and it burned her skin. I will just stick to vegan and cruelty free products. Olivia didn't mention it in the video but she is the "Chief Brand Activist to help advocate for transparency..." for True Botanicals. MADE SAFE® is a nontoxic seal for products.

[@msk-qp6fn]

Personally, I am meh with all natural or nontoxic but I get mad at "no preservatives"

Excellent explanation of “chemical” toxins. Honestly, I think people feel intimidated by chemistry and because it’s not understood at a glance, they want to reject it on principle. I don’t know why it’s so difficult to recognize the marketing behind products? I surmise it’s because we really just want to feel a sense of command over our the small things that we can control, like what skincare we use, when there is so much out of our control.

[@whimsicaldaffodil3752]

Do know why these sources that claim certain products are less toxic than others are not to be trusted? I've been wondering this for a while. Scientists do say that some of the chemicals in our products are likely carcinogenic or harmful, but they aren't 100% certain which ones those are (makes sense considering the research that would need to be done to prove that). However, there has been a lot of research done on different chemicals, so is it so bad to avoid certain ones based on the research that we do have (even though it's not perfect)? Like the chemicals that are banned in Europe but not the USA, for example. Why not avoid those?

[@Dr__Feelgood]

Bingo!!!

[@Ella24-007]

Do you know how much money goes into buying off scientists so consumers don’t question what’s in a product and when they do they’re told they’re misinformed lol? Chemical toxins are harsh chemicals. No one with a brain says all chemicals are bad lol.

[@lifelvr9509]

[@saram.8671]

She reminds me of some beauty sales person in department stores who pretend they know everything when in fact they tell you bull**** 😄😄😄. Olivia Wilde is really getting on my nerves in this video. She acts like the whole internet is clueless about skincare and she is THE ONE knowing it all and passing on her precious information to us. Ugh.

[@emmaengland2726]

I’m not a *natural* beauty person but, as a pregnant person, I deeply relate to everyone telling you everything you put on or in your body is poisonous. It’s exhausting and it does create a lot of fear.

They may be “all natural “ but as someone with er positive breast cancer, they contain a lot of phyto estrogens that I have to avoid! I’ll stick to my other skincare thanks! LOL

[@visualbeauty3427]

Maybe cuz of chemistry idk why people are F%&&ED scared about it.

[@garden.of.thistles]

from what I've read, phytoestrogens help prevent breast cancer and other reproductive cancers because they block real mammalian estrogen from overactivating cell receptors? I'm NOT advocating anyone to not listen to their doctor, I'm just confused why phytoestrogen should be avoided when it's actually associated with lowering rates of breast cancer

[@20thcenturyrelic]

I like to wear perfume, but I remind myself that some places are "no fragrance" areas, especially airplanes and doctors' or dentists' offices. Basically, if people have to sit close to me and can't get away. I became very conscious of this when my mom developed asthma. I didn't realize this could also be a problem for those with migraines; thanks for the education.

[@msk-qp6fn]

Honestly same. Sure the raw scent of the ingredients are not the mosg pleasant either but at least when they come properly formualted and prepared products they don't make me dizzy or wanna puke. Personally I am more sensitive to strong floral scents and cheap peach scents.

[@shasita3361]

Sometimes, on the train, I keep coughing, because there seems to be an ingredient in many perfumes out there, that I'm overly sensitive to. Not sure what it is though. I don't even have to smell it that well, but my throat will immediately give a reaction and I'll have to move away from the source.

[@billyjean3118]

Yes thank you! Fragrance should be banned on public transport. I don’t want to be stuck in an 11h flight next to a field of lavender :/

[@kaylajaned6764]

I really appreciate your comment about fragrances in public spaces. I have a fragrance allergy and it triggers my asthma and my throat will close up with most strong scents (candles, perfume, scented skincare). I tried to explain it to some colleagues and they talked about how hard it was for them that they couldn’t wear perfume/cologne because we were in a scent free building

[@20thcenturyrelic]

No way would i use True Botanicals. I looked at the ingredients lists for a couple of products, and they have lots of fragrance in them - orange peel oil, grapefruit peel oil, tangerine peel oil, and lavender oil. My sensitive skin burned just looking at the lists. Also, they're ridiculously expensive! And Ms. Wilde's claim that the True Botanicals oil cured her acne...strains my credulity (a polite way to say I think she's lying.) Maybe it did, or, maybe she changed something else she was doing at the same time (medication, diet, some other topical), and the other thing cured her acne. Or maybe she outgrew it - a few people do although many don't.

[@welza001]

As someone with a staph infection on their face from something that went bad... Preservatives are our friend

[@triiangel220]

The fact that you mentioned that not all doctors and patients click, I felt that. I once got this horrible itchy, bumpy rash thing on my face. Got to a derm straight away. She told me it is just bad acne. I told her yes I had acne before and this is not it! I was literally crying in front of her that it itches so bad and it hurts. All over my face and neck. She gave me stromg antibiotics, for acne. I left crying, but ate the antibiotics for few weeks. It only made things worse. I ended up forcing a doctor to do allergy tests, and it turned out that I just had a SEVERE allergic reaction. I do not blame the derm at all, but ofc I feel bad. We did not click one bit.

[@NatureLoverSFL]

Olivia Wilde ugh lol I just don’t find anything she said relatable. And the chemical fear talk -_- meh just sounds uneducated

[@theprousteffect9717]

Ugh, I'm so tired of the "clean beauty" movement. The fear mongering just makes me livid. The worst part is these companies don't give a fig about what's best for your skin or your health, it's just another marketing scam to take your money.

[@152Bloom]

I love this video! However, I do have to note one thing I completely disagree with....I agree that not every dermatologist isn't for everyone, just like every esthetician isn't going to be for everyone. But when it gets to a point where you've gone through 23 or 24 derms and drs then I think that really shows that there's a problem. These are professionals that have done years of schooling and gone through rigorous licensing and are supposed to be THE GO TO for skin concerns, so if it's normalized for someone to have to go through two dozen or more derms and drs, suffering for whatever ails them for months if not years, then that is an extremely low bar to be holding them at. This is an issue I've experienced with numerous clients who finally came to see me for their acne after struggling with dermatologists. This isn't to say that derms are bad, infact I agree that they are incredibly knowledgeable and I value their scientific expertise. But I think it's clear there is a bit of a disconnect in the dermatology world, and I don't think it should be normalized or excused. I'm sorry 😔

[@voodoomagic90]

FACTS!

[@20thcenturyrelic]

I think part of the problem was that Cassandra's acne was largely, if not entirely, caused by dairy. I haven't watched all of her videos, but that's my impression. I don't think that's a very common issue, but, I'm not a dermatologist, and I could be wrong. I believe the current theory is that severe cystic acne is hereditary. Makes sense to me; I had an aunt on my mom's side of the family who had it, and I also had persistent cystic acne that didn't respond to the topicals of the time (late 70s to early 80s.) I didn't have numerous pimples all over my face, but I pretty much always had at least one, usually on my chin, until I took Accutane. I believe now that stress was a big factor; my father was an alcoholic, and there was constant, ongoing tension in our household.

I'm not planning on getting pregnant for a few years yet, however I think we overdo it with cautioning use during pregnancy. Because we don't have data on a wide number of products doctors take the "play it safe" approach. However, that sort of obfuscates which products we DO know are dangerous during pregnancy. It also kills the discussion of *why* some things are dangerous. That's how you end up with (on one end) "everything is poison! I'm going all natural" and on the other "pffft, apparently nothing is allowed, no way, I'm gonna just live my life".

I love your videos, you have taught me so much! But I have to say the True Botanicals Clear Oil actually did clear my skin! Im obsessed with it lol And I suffer with Cystic Acne, and it was pretty bad before I used the oil, now I only get 1 or 2 pimples on my period ( though I know everyones skin is soo different) but i just wanted to say I personally love true botanicals, yeah they are pricey, but I do think they are really good products and they do work. Definitely cheaper products out there, but I have used a lot of true botanicals and have seen great results 👍

[@nyiathompson7531]

I absolutely love being in Muir Woods. I literally feel so much better when I just sit there and breathe in the air there. Talk about a “natural” high. 🥰🥰🥰

[@venus7976]

Your hair looks amazing!! Love every video of yours!!

[@ask8345]

Hahahaha Cassandra's facial expression at 19:22 made my day. Cassandra you are awesome ❤️❤️

[@jamiehershon]

I was really tempted to buy the True Botanicals oil when I saw it was on sale for $88 but I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much money on an oil. I ended up just reading the ingredients and made my own dupe. I do feel like it's helped hydrate my skin but I feel like most oils already do that like you said. I just bought organic jojoba, watermelon hemp, squalane, argan, safflower and mixed it all up.

[@kaylacruz2188]

I would love for you to do a video about biossance. They do a lot of the same “clean beauty” marketing. And you have slightly mentioned some of their products on previous videos. I would just really like to hear your take

[@ElviraN.]

Yes, i would use the mask but vaseline does the same stuff and nothing beats my cicaplast b5 baume from lrp. When my skin gets sensitized, putting this on makes it dissapear till next morning. Also it has beta gluckan in it, panthenol, thermal spring water and lots of other great ingrediants!

[@jordanmclifton]

Your facial expressions are killing it here! 😂 Much thanks as always for teaching without lecturing. ❤️

[@Ninarezner]

Cassandra subtly crushing on Olivia is honestly the cutest thing I've seen all week!

[@nightasmr9073]

Between what she said about cremes and how you reacted I was screaming 😂 This also reminded me if you sound confident enough and are likable people will believe you. Even when you have absolute no idea what your talking about and just make stuff up while you go along 🤷🏻‍♂️ also I always find it funny when people are so set on having “clean” and “sustainable” skincare but disregard all of it when it comes to anything else 🙄 like how are you going to tell me all about how much “better” this is then eat complete junk and participate in fast fashion trends? Somebody help my brain cells

[@Sarah-dq8gm]

I love this brand! My skin is amazing... Will use it forever. ❤️💚

[@angl4030]

Hi Cassandra, I enjoy and learn so much from your videos, thank you! Question for ya... I recently installed an app on my phone that rates skin care according to the "safety" of their ingredients by scanning the product's bar code. A LOT of my skin care contains the preservative phenoxyethanol, which they say poses a moderate potential risk for adverse health effects. Thoughts? I really don't want to throw away all my products that have this ingredient.

[@Tinelft]

Your Hair looks amazing 😍🥰

[@laupre1804]

Cassandra can you please talk about Vanicream and review each of their prods❤

[@ggeemmiinnii]

Yes to the picnic, please. I'm 42 and I've never been on a plane--here's my chance. Edit: also, thank you for respectfully and tactfully correcting misinformation.

[@tquirkyt7118]

Girl‼️”…if you don’t know water is a chemical, don’t tell me what to do with my acne” What⁉️YES‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@jeffdiggs7030]

Not the Debby Ryan meme 1:11… That took me out when u did that 😂😂😂😂😂

[@darlina900]

I’m watching this video one year later, and it’s fun, because currently it’s 3:16 PM, and 3:30PM I have a chemistry class! Amo esto jaja

[@haleymoon657]

Your hair is looking soooo beauty Cassandra! Thank you for the educational content, I’ve enjoyed watching you since you first started KZbin. We are the same age and I also grew up in the Bay Area😁

[@spinebreaker7986]

I hope cassandra makes a skincare routine for pregnant women so we can have an idea of what we can use that's budget friendly

[@elizabethtorres6069]

Okay, thank you Cassandra for explaining the Resveratrol ingredient.

[@theintrosproject8598]

As for me, I have tried a number of natural skin care products with an idea they were mild and my skin would react well to them. but no, i only got nasty pimples. so sad.

[@roy4567]

I enjoy a bit of fragrance in my skincare but only a small amount. The primary ingredients should be ones that treat skin concerns. Also, with the exception of fresh produce, I want my products to have preservatives. I fucking hate mold. I'd rather have chemicals than mold and parasites, thanks.

[@wendyward684]

Could you please review Glow Recipe's new sunscreen? I love your honest reviews!

[@TukikoIsolde]

Please do a video on the Bambu Earth line!

[@martinaandreotti2110]

Could you review the new skincare line from "The Outset"? It's supposed to be a clean line by Scarlett Johansson and I am so curious to know if it's worth it

[@msdarlislinnvanb9819]

lol! i was just typing jojoba is a wax when Cassandra paused and said that! I am sure there were a few others doing the same thing

[@krystenhayden2516]

I mean sometimes making sure your skin is hydrated can help with acne but like you said not always the case for everyone.

[@christinaivanka5004]

I have been waiting to see this

[@joeybaker1029]

Is the cerave salicylic acid daily cleanser really safe for daily use. I want to buy this product however I want some confirmation. On the bottle it says it exfoliates but doesn’t disrupt the skin barrier. Also is it good for combo skin

[@xunjo]

I'm not a professional, but own this cleanser and don't think the salicylic acid formula is good for daily use (despite the name). Whenever I used it a lot it dries my skin out, but no noticeable barrier disruption. If you suffer from acne it's great for alternate day/few times a week cleanser because of the salicylic acid. My skin type is combo, on the dry side, and acne prone if that helps. Hope you get more opinions on this tho since it's only my review!

[@justmaddie7944]

To me she will always ALEX from the OC ! love her.

[@mirinaxo1663]

I have severe allergies to fragrance so thank you for pointing that out! Keep the fragrance away from planes, gyms, hospitals etc… it’s just respect 🤷🏼‍♀️ Ps. She was dating Harry Styles… 💁‍♀️

[@ohannah0035]

She's still dating him lol

[@BlackKoshka23]

I believe it's pronounce like wild. Also, the parasite line it's from House (she had a role in that show).

[@AshingBlue]

This drives me insane! I have worked in derm for years. ACNE IS A MEDICAL CONDITION! Sometimes you need rx strength medication to make it better and there's nothing wrong with it. People blame themselves and products for acne. But acne is like any other medical condition. There is a component that could be behavior-based, which the person suffering could have control over, and then there's a medically pathological (genetics etc) component that you would never have control over.

[@haruhiotakufan16]

She ran the water for a few seconds probably to let it warm up, my water runs COLD in north carolina for about 30 seconds before it gets warm.

[@lissette296]

Could you please talk about endocrine disruptors in the human body, through beauty products, make up or skin care?

[@blizzerdbiworrior]

Huh, I didn't hear you talk about the 'clear' repair serum. Also, when I went to the official website to look at the ingredients, Olivia Wilde's video is used on their product pages for the products she used. Especially for the Repair Serum's page - it even has a picture of Wilde and a testimonial from her.

[@EGGrun]

Olivia's voice is soooo beautiful ❤️ I want her to read me a bed time story

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Well, she's an actress, so possibly she's had voice training and/or coaching.

[@andreea4006]

Hey Cassie! Do you have a dupe for that true botanical mask - something hydrating

[@pattycarljackson]

I hate when people spray their fragrances in small areas where you cant leave. Walking by the laundry detergent aisle or near someone with perfume and i work at amazon so if i have to pack or handle strong fragrant candles or laundry detergent it literally feels like I’m being suffocated.
