In this episode of That's Derm Good! , host Janelle Ball sits down with Natalie Novak and Ron Webb , the founders of Kindness Powered Skincare (KPS) , to explore a completely different way of thinking about skincare. Natalie shares how her experience working with oncology patients inspired her passion for creating products that support compromised skin, while Ron discusses his unique journey from aerospace engineering into skincare innovation. Together, they explain the science behind nutrient signaling —the concept that carefully selected botanical ingredients can communicate with the skin to encourage healthier function rather than simply masking concerns. They also discuss why ingredient quality matters, the difference between food-grade and cosmetic-grade ingredients, and how scientific testing plays a critical role in developing effective skincare. The conversation also explores today's biggest skincare trends, including antioxidants, exosomes, and the shift away from an "anti-aging" mindset toward pro-aging —supporting healthy, resilient skin throughout every stage of life. Whether you're a skincare enthusiast, healthcare professional, or simply looking for evidence-based ways to care for your skin, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what's possible when science and nature work together. Tune in to learn why the future of skincare may not be about doing more—but about giving your skin exactly what it needs to thrive.
