Whether or not you’ve heard of Ron Robinson, you’ve definitely seen his work. The cosmetic chemist has worked with brands like Clinique, L’Oreal, and Avon, and he’s on the advisory board for Hailey Bieber’s Rhode. Robinson also has his own cosmetics line, a skincare brand called Beauty Stat that is beloved by editors and creators alike.
“In 2009 I created BeautyStat the blog because I thought at the time there were so many products out there, and I felt there should be an expert voice to help consumers cut through the clutter of product reviews,” says Robinson. “During that time, many consumers came to me and were particularly curious about the ingredient vitamin C. They wanted to know why it was unstable, how it should be used, the best ones on the market etc.. That's what prompted me to begin testing and formulating a stable vitamin C serum that was holy-grail worthy… and didn’t smell like hot dog water.”
