Many beauty brands sell skin care products that claim to stand in solidarity with patients of various diseases, but how many of those same brands create formulas that actually serve and support those patients? We like to keep things positive here at the Chalkboard and that’s why we love to simply shine the spotlight on folks like Britta Aragon of CV Skinlabs! Brands who are creating just the kind of pure, innovative and effective products that those with sensitive or ‘compromised’ skin can truly rely on.
