Interview with Megan Sieg about the Toxicology of Cosmetics




The Eco Well podcast show

Summary: In this episode, I spoke with Megan Sieg (@megmadeup14), PhD student studying human exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals and their impacts on the brain. What does it mean to be an endocrine disruptor? Are our cosmetic products really ‘estrogenic’?

What does science have to say about these chemicals?
