About The Beauty Lab

Skincare isn’t magic—it’s science.
Hi, I’m Mollie—biochemist turned stay-at-home mom turned skincare content creator. After years of working in the lab (yes, the actual kind with microscopes), I swapped my lab coat for leggings and built The Beauty Lab to bridge the gap between trendy skincare and what actually works.

Here, you’ll find science-backed skincare advice, evidence-based product picks, and zero tolerance for fluffy marketing claims. I dig through the research so you don’t have to—and I translate it into clear, fun, no-BS content that helps you build a routine that works.

Let’s ditch the guesswork, embrace the glow, and make smart skincare feel effortless.

🔬 You’ll Love This Blog If:

  • You want skincare that works (not just what TikTok told you to try)
  • You’ve got more serums than shelf space
  • You want the “why” behind the “what”

Welcome to the lab 💛

👩‍🔬 Meet the Scientist Behind The Blog

I’m Mollie — a molecular biologist turned beauty blogger and the founder of The Beauty Lab, where hype meets research and your skin gets smarter.

Before launching this site, I spent over a decade in the lab running experiments on hepatitis B compounds at Johnson & Johnson, publishing peer-reviewed research in Developmental Cell, and editing scientific manuscripts for researchers around the world.

Now? I use that same research brain to break down skincare ingredients, trends, and product claims — so you don’t need a Ph.D. to understand what actually works.

🔬 My Mission

To make skincare feel less overwhelming and a whole lot smarter — using real research, not TikTok trends. This is where ingredient deep-dives, cheeky myth-busting, and evidence-based product picks all live under one nerdy roof.
