What if your skin is telling you a story about what’s happening inside your body?I’m joined by Natalie Novak-Bauss, Co-Founder, celebrity aesthetician, certified aesthetician, master organic gardener, and clean beauty pioneer, and Ron Webb, Co-Founder, aerospace engineer, and formulation scientist behind KPS Essentials.Natalie’s journey into clean beauty began with a startling question. In 1987, while working for a high-end skincare brand, she witnessed a product dissolve carpet after an earthquake. It made her wonder: if these chemicals can damage fabric, what are they doing to our skin? That moment sparked more than 30 years of work developing skincare designed to nourish rather than disrupt the skin.Ron came to skincare from a completely different world. With a background in aerospace engineering at The Boeing Company, Ron brought his experience with precision science into plant-drug research and holistic animal wound care. That unique combination of engineering and botanical science ultimately led to the development of DermaNū Technology®, KPS Essentials’ proprietary approach to nutrient delivery.Together, Natalie and Ron challenge the idea that skincare is simply about looking good.We explore the fascinating connection between chronic stress, the nervous system, inflammation, lymphatic health, environmental toxins, aging, and the condition of our skin. We also discuss how systemic health and lifestyle choices can influence what we see on the outside—and whether the future of skincare may be less about covering up problems and more about understanding what the body is communicating.In This Episode, We Explore:• How chronic stress can affect skin health and contribute to visible changes• The connection between the nervous system, inflammation, and skin• Why your skin can provide clues about your internal health• How environmental factors and potentially irritating ingredients can affect the skin• The role of the lymphatic system and lymphatic drainage in overall wellness• What makes organic, nutrient-focused skincare different• The science and development behind DermaNū Technology®• How nutrient micronization may influence topical delivery• The relationship between skin health, systemic wellness, and healthy aging• Why addressing what's happening inside the body may be an important part of caring for what's happening on the outsideThis conversation goes far beyond beauty. It's about understanding the relationship between skin health and overall wellness, and asking a bigger question:Is your skin simply something you see—or is it communicating something you need to hear?If you're interested in skin health, chronic stress, inflammation, organic skincare, holistic health, functional wellness, healthy aging, skincare technology, lymphatic health, or the connection between the nervous system and the skin, this episode is for you.🎧 Subscribe to The Raw Vibe Podcast for more conversations, and explore the ideas that can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us.About Our GuestsNatalie Novak-BaussCo-Founder • Celebrity Aesthetician • Clean Beauty PioneerWith more than three decades in the aesthetics and skincare industry, Natalie has dedicated her career to developing clean, effective skincare while making professional-level results more accessible.
