The Science of Nutrient Preservation in Modern Beauty Ft. HPPY Skin

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Hannah Penn, founder of HPPY Skin, to explore how a food-industry innovation is revolutionizing skincare. The technology—High Pressure Processing (HPP)—uses 87,000 psi of cold water pressure to preserve nutrients without heat or chemicals, unlocking the true power of botanicals while keeping their biochemical integrity intact.Inspired by her father’s pioneering work with HPP in the food world, Penn saw the opportunity to apply the same science to skincare—where nutrient loss from traditional extraction is often overlooked. “We’re not changing the ingredients,” she explains, “we’re changing how they’re processed.” The result is skincare that retains up to 10× more antioxidant content and delivers ingredients in their purest, most bioavailable form.Far from a “clean beauty” buzzword, HPPY Skin represents what Penn calls “Clean 2.0”—a science-first movement toward transparency, efficacy, and nutrient integrity. From early failed experiments to a patented process and the launch of BioBerry Infusion™, HPPY Skin’s evolution embodies persistence, innovation, and data-backed results.Blending the expertise of food scientists, cosmetic chemists, and HPP engineers, Penn has built a cross-disciplinary team redefining what performance skincare looks like. “The beauty space doesn’t need another white-labeled formula,” she says. “It needs innovation, quality, and excellence.”Tune in to hear how HPPY Skin is closing the nutrient gap in skincare—proving that sometimes, the future of beauty lies in a little pressure.SHOP HPPY Skin on their website, and visit their social media.CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Welcome0:44 – Family Innovation & Early Inspiration2:10 – Discovering HPP for Skincare3:00 – How High Pressure Processing Works6:05 – Testing & Scientific Validation9:39 – Cold Press vs HPP and Bioavailability10:44 – Rethinking Clean Beauty & True Innovation13:12 – From Trial and Error to Patented Process16:18 – Building a Multidisciplinary Team22:07 – Innovation, Impact & Consumer ResultsPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don’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 collaboration* Hosted on Acast.
