On today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Mireille Vega, also known as Dr. Mimi V, Founder and CEO of VGAM - a PhD biochemist, former biotech executive, and the pioneer behind Skin Science 3.0. Mireille’s story starts in a Montreal drugstore, where she was a teenager standing in the skincare aisle trying to decode ingredient labels that made no sense. Years later, after building a career in immunology and biotech, personal health crises in her own family changed the way she looked at ingredients, trust, and what we put on our bodies every day. That journey led her to create VGAM, a skincare company focused on the skin microbiome and the idea that skin is not just a surface - it is a living system shaped by hormones, stress, inflammation, aging, environment, and real life. In this episode, Dr. Mimi V shares why she believes skincare needs less marketing noise and more real science. We talk about Skin Science 3.0, what most brands miss about hormones, midlife, menopause, and sensitive skin, and why the microbiome matters.
