The wonders of the hair follicle ~ Hair & skin science
Gill Westgate is a specialist consultant in hair & skin sciences & the cosmetics industry.
She studied the immune privilege of the hair follicle, and the extra cellular matrix.
She began a hair research programme with Unilever in 1983 and shares her knowledge on the hair follicle with us, stating that they are a lot more complicated than most people imagine!
She describes the incredibly complex nerve supply to the hair bulb and we chat about the microbiome and how it can support hair growth.
We look at the biotechnology that is being used to create products in the cosmetics industry and the new plant based biosurfactants being engineered to replace oil, fossil fuel & palm oil options.
