In this episode, Darin exposes the toxic truth behind the billion-dollar anti-aging skincare industry. From mercury to PFOAs (the same chemical used in Teflon), many “miracle creams” and skin-lightening products marketed as beauty solutions are actually silently poisoning us.

Darin breaks down the science, the loopholes in FDA regulation, and the real dangers of what’s being absorbed through our skin — from hormone disruption to cancer and even risks to children. More importantly, he offers solutions: how to identify red flags, choose safe alternatives, and reclaim sovereignty over what you put on your body.

“If you wouldn’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin. Mercury, PFOAs, and toxic chemicals in anti-aging creams are poisoning us — but when we choose botanical, organic, and safe alternatives, we reclaim our health and our sovereignty.”
