  The Allergy Aisle Just Got a Drug-Free Glow-Up With Lorne Lucree, Founder of Wizard Wellness 14.09.2026 49min

  Wizard is reimagining allergy care for people who are tired of the same clinical, one-dimensional options that have dominated the category for decades. Founded by beauty industry veteran Lorne Lucree, Wizard was born from his own lifelong struggle with allergies and his belief that the category could be approached with the same thoughtfulness, innovation, and attention to experience that transformed skincare. After more than 20 years developing products for brands including Clinique, Tatcha, L’Oréal, R+Co, IGK, and ONE/SIZE, Lorne brought that beauty-world expertise into an entirely different aisle. He assembled a team of allergists, scientists, and formulators to develop drug-free, non-drowsy solutions that work with the body rather than simply masking symptoms. At the heart of Wizard is its proprietary Nasalbiome™ technology, informed by research into the nasal microbiome and its connection to whole-body wellness. From colorful nasal sticks to simplified daily routines, Wizard combines science with sensory appeal to make allergy care feel less like medicine and more like modern wellness. Lorne’s vision is simple: allergy relief should work like magic, be backed by science, and actually be something you enjoy using. In this episode, Lorne also discusses: Why drug-free allergy relief could disrupt one of the most outdated aisles in retail The surprising science behind bringing skincare-inspired ingredients to your nose Why allergies are becoming more prevalent and what that means for modern wellness Why your nose is your body’s first line of defense and why daily nasal cleansing matters Taking Wizard to Coachella and building a brand that shows up authentically The three pillars behind Wizard’s approach: cleanse, relieve, and balance We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Lorne's journey and the growth of Wizard Wellness.

  skinfix: Where Clinical Actives Meet Clean, Moisture-Locking Barrier Repair With Founder & CEO, Amy Gordinier 08.12.2025 55min

  skinfix began when founder Amy Gordinier discovered a 150-year-old healing balm in a small town in eastern Canada—a shockingly potent formula that outperformed many modern products. The pharmacist’s family had boxes of handwritten letters from people whose skin and confidence had been transformed by it. Inspired, Amy rebuilt that legacy with a modern edge, creating skinfix: clean, clinical, barrier-first skincare powered by high-potency actives. The brand is engineered for people who’ve tried everything and are still searching for real results. skinfix delivers fast-acting repair now and healthier-looking skin over time, tackling stubborn concerns at the root. Their formulas pair clinical actives with moisture-locking hydrators to maximize impact while minimizing irritation. Every product is tested and recommended by unbiased dermatologists and proven to work on real, reactive, complicated skin. If your routine is crowded but your results are lacking, skinfix is the brand built to fix it. In this episode, Amy also discusses: Serving humanity by helping people heal their skin—and, in turn, their lives Tackling tough skin issues, from eczema and psoriasis to rosacea Unlocking glowing skin with the ultimate barrier repair routine The role of clinical testing: the secret to brand loyalty and credibility The importance of cleansing and understanding what your skin truly needs Harnessing the power of organic love on social beyond viral moments We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Amy’s journey and the growth of skinfix.
