Crown Collective 👑: A Conversation with Dr. Julian Sass

In this episode of Accessibly Ever After, Kailey and Ashton sit down with cosmetic scientist and creator Dr. Julian Sass to unpack the science behind beauty products, sunscreen, and formulation. Dr. Sass holds a PhD in Biomathematics and Statistics from North Carolina State University and has spent his career translating complex cosmetic science for everyday consumers, a body of work that's been featured in outlets such as The Washington Post, Vogue, and Today. He's also the creator of a widely respected sunscreen database of over 500 products, built to help people, especially those with darker skin tones, find sun protection that truly works.From how products are actually developed to why so many sunscreens sting the eyes or feel unpleasant on the skin, Dr. Sass breaks down complex topics in a way that's clear, funny, and actually helpful. He digs into what consumers often misunderstand about sunscreen safety, why nuance matters when discussing "harmful" ingredients, and how brands can build more inclusive products from the very beginning of the development process.Dr. Sass also shares what true accessibility looks like in beauty, why packaging matters more than most people realize, and how small design choices can make a huge difference for disabled and everyday consumers alike.Listen now and start seeing beauty differently.Links:Dr. Julian Sass’ website: https://www.drjuliansass.com/ Sunscreen Database: https://www.drjuliansass.com/sunscreen-database Socials: @DrJulianSass (Instagram), @DrJulianSass (TikTok), @AccessiblyEverAfter, @OccupationBeauty, @RadiantlyGoldenContact Julian: contact@drjuliansass.comContact Us: contact@wishingwellco.com
