S3 • EP 27 The Truth About Beauty: What Brands Don’t Tell You (with a Formulation Scientist) | Dr. Maryam Mardkhe

Episode notes

This episode explores the intersection of beauty, science, and wealth through the story of Dr. Maryam Mardkhe, founder of Stirbar Lab - a zero-waste, sustainable beauty lab where ancient rituals meet modern chemistry. Maryam’s journey begins in a land rich with poetry and art - where the first rose distillation took place over a thousand years ago - and evolves into a mission to redefine how we experience beauty today. She brings a rare blend of scientific precision and artistic spirit, showing how chemistry can become a creative language for self-expression, sustainability, and empowerment. At the heart of this conversation is a bold question: What if wealth wasn’t just about accumulation - but about creation, connection, and care?
