Sarah Vilenskiy: Navigating Non-Toxic Living for Sensitive Skin
Mon Feb 02 2026
This week, Tee welcomes Sarah Vilenskiy, the founder of Blossom Essentials, for a look into the often-confusing world of healthy skincare. Sarah shares her personal journey with severe and sensitive skin, which led her to create Blossom Essentials.
Frustrated by the overwhelming amount of greenwashed marketing and conflicting advice, Sarah has made it her mission to cut through the noise and provide people with clear, science-backed solutions to low-tox skincare and wellness.
In this chat, Sarah and Tee discuss the importance of understanding product ingredients, the misleading nature of terms like 'natural' and 'clean,' and the critical role of a strong skin barrier. In addition, they emphasize the need to scrutinize labels and avoid harmful chemicals like fragrances and silicones.
Packed with practical guidance and real-world insights, this episode offers clear, actionable steps to help listeners make informed skincare decisions, protect both themselves and their loved ones, and reduce overall toxic exposure in pursuit of long-term wellness.
