Summary
In this episode of The Skincarma Pod , Carmine sits down with materials scientist and inventor Eric Pressly and to explore the science of repair — and why rebuilding beauty from the inside out matters more than ever. Eric is the inventor behind some of the most influential bond-repair technologies in modern beauty , and the founder of Epres haircare and ePhD nail treatment. In this conversation, he explains the molecular science behind repairing broken keratin bonds in hair and nails — and why most beauty products focus on coating damage rather than truly fixing it. Together, Eric and his wife and COO Natalie share the origin story behind their newest brands, the creative process behind scientific innovation, and what it’s like building a company as partners in life and business. You’ll learn: • What “bond repair” actually means at the molecular level; • Why most nail and hair products only provide surface-level fixes; • How Eric developed new repair technologies during the pandemic;• The surprising connection between materials science, chemistry, and creativity; • Why the beauty industry often prioritizes marketing over innovation;• And, what Eric and Natalie believe the future of beauty should focus on: health first, youth second. The episode also explores sustainability in beauty, the challenge of proving scientific claims in an era of AI-generated marketing, and why true innovation often happens outside of large corporations. This is a conversation about chemistry, creativity, entrepreneurship, and rebuilding — both scientifically and personally. Connect with Eric on Instagram at @ericpressly and on LinkedIn here .
