Description

In this special installment of Skin Anarchy’s Lessons in Longevity series, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with beauty industry pioneer Melisse Shaban for a conversation that bridges decades of brand leadership with the cutting edge of cellular science. From her early days at Revlon’s counter at Macy’s Herald Square to leading Aveda and The Body Shop — and later founding science-driven ventures like Virtue Labs and Aramore — Shaban has witnessed beauty evolve from aspiration to physiology.But this episode isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about where we’re headed.Together, Dr. Yadav and Shaban unpack how the narrative around aging is shifting. Youth is no longer the sole benchmark of beauty. Instead, vitality, recovery, and cellular performance are redefining the industry. Skincare is moving beyond “hope in a jar” marketing toward biologically grounded innovation — often rooted in research that began in oncology, peptide science, and regenerative medicine labs.A central theme of the conversation is NAD — a molecule essential for cellular energy and mitochondrial function. Rather than attempting to apply NAD topically in ways the skin cannot absorb, Shaban explains how Aramore focuses on supporting the body’s own NAD production through metabolically intelligent pathways. The message is clear: aging begins at the cellular level, and true longevity requires daily metabolic support — not reactive damage control.This episode also tackles accountability in a crowded, hype-driven market. Clinical rigor, mechanistic plausibility, and transparent data are no longer optional — they are the future.Listen to the full episode of Skin Anarchy to hear Melisse Shaban break down cellular energy, NAD science, and why the next era of beauty belongs to longevity-driven innovation grounded in real biology.SHOP ARAMOREDon’t forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaborationSupport the show
