my last piece of work with MY PAPER-Beauty published today



I like this piece of work a lot, because it was an investigative feature on Preservatives in Skin-care, and my research started in April 08 when I visited a lab in France, when the scientist told us that paraben is actually harmless to the skin and not much evidence points to the cancerous linkages.

When I got back, I always wanted to do this story, so I asked the National Skin Centre (thanks to Ying Lei's contact, she has left SPH too) and several beauty brands-- Origins, Kiehl's, Clarins and Shiseido whose emphasis was on natural ingredients. At that point, Bosia (Fancl) just launched in Sephora stores, so the interview with the brand's GM got the story going.

Hope that I still get to do such stories in the future. And I hope you enjoy it too.
