The smell of skin care products is important for many reasons. Humans are programmed to dislike synthetic scent because it is potentially harmful. But what do we know about the functional scent of terpenes?   Terpenes are the largest classification of small chemical compounds derived from living organisms. You may not have heard of them before, but they are all around you. Listen in as Ella Cressman talks terpenes with registered nurse, certified aromatherapist, and international speaker Wendy Pagaduan. As an advocate for clean beauty, Wendy is devoted to integrating medical wisdom, philosophy, and plant medicine into customized formulations for effective skin care and wellness solutions.   Ella Cressman is a licensed esthetician, certified organic formulator, business owner, and absolute ingredient junkie! As an educator, she enjoys empowering other estheticians and industry professionals to understand skin care from an ingredient standpoint rather than a product-specific view. She has spent many hours researching ingredients, understanding how and where they are sourced, phytochemistry, histological access, and complimentary compounds for intentional skin benefits. In addition to running a skin care practice, Cressman founded a comprehensive consulting group, the HHP Collective, and has consulted for several skin care lines, including several successful CBD brands.   To connect with Ella Cressman, LE, Owner of HHP Collective, click here   To join Associated Skin care Professionals (ASCP) click here    For questions about Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) membership or professional liability insurance for estheticians, call 800-789-0411   If you are interested in adding Business Personal Property (BPP) insurance to your membership, click here    Follow Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) on Instagram    To access ASCP’s extensive Back to Practice guide, click here    To connect with Wendy Pagaduan   Clean Coconut on Facebook   Clean Coconut on Instagram   Wendy Pagaduan on Instagram   Wendy Pagaduan on LinkedIn    Email    Website
