Episode #164: Carolina Oliveira: Healthy Skin Aging, Cellular Senescence, and OneSkin

<p dir="ltr">Our skin was designed to function as a barrier to protect our bodies from environmental stressors and pathogens, but unfortunately, our skin barrier is one of the main factors that is compromised as we age. Many of us are constantly looking for the next best thing to slow down and possibly even reverse these signs of skin aging, and my guest today is here to explain why focusing on products that work on the molecular level is the key to healthy aging.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">I’m joined by Carolina Oliveira, the CEO and co-founder of OneSkin, to discuss everything you need to know about healthy aging in the skin. We cover cellular senescence, biological age, systemic inflammation, and the research being done at OneSkin to quantify these things. We also talk about some of the other factors that have an impact on skin health, and of course dive into the first peptide developed to reverse skin aging at the molecular level: OS-O1.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Carolina Oliveira is the CEO and co-founder of OneSkin. She holds a Ph.D. in stem cell biology and tissue engineering, is a co-inventor of 5 patents and co-author of numerous scientific publications. She relocated from Brazil to Silicon Valley in 2016 to found OneSkin, a fast-growing longevity company developing products to promote skin health by targeting aging at the molecular level. Carolina is an alumnus of IndieBio, the world's largest biotech accelerator and has been an active voice in the longevity field, pioneering age reversal skin research with OneSkin. </p> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:</p> <p dir="ltr">OneSkin: Use code SUPERHUMAN15 at <a href= "https://www.oneskin.co/">https://www.oneskin.co/</a></p> <p dir="ltr">BiOptimizers: For Sleep Breakthrough use code BIONAT10 at checkout to save 10% at <a href= "https://sleepbreakthrough.com/bionat">sleepbreakthrough.com/bionat</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Berkeley Life: Consumers may registe
