In this episode of the UTK Podcast, we sit down with Nathan Puksta, Founder and CEO of Filament Sciences, for one of our most thought-provoking conversations yet.

For years, Black customers have bought products promising to help them reach their hair goals...only to discover those claims were never properly tested on people with Afro-textured hair.

Together, we explore why "clean beauty" is not enough, what meaningful clinical testing should look like and why textured hair deserves stronger research.

Whether you're choosing your next conditioner, building a hair care brand, or simply tired of guessing which products actually work, this episode will help you ask better questions and become a more informed customer.
