Model Naomi Shimada asks if it's possible to go green in our beauty routines, to help fix the beauty industry for people and planet.

Now that so-called \\u2018clean beauty\\u2019 is on trend, online and, chances are, on a shelf near you, it seems easier than ever to bring sustainability into the bathroom.

Or is it? Could it be clever marketing, playing on so-called \\u2018chem-phobia\\u2019- fear of chemicals - and cashing in on the need to clean up the planet in a climate emergency?

From green chemistry to greenwashing, Naomi quizzes Dr. Richard Blackburn, Associate Professor specialising in sustainable materials at the University of Leeds, and co-founder of Keracol, the company behind Dr. Craft cosmetics.

Presenter: Naomi Shimada\\nProducer: Kirsty McQuire\\nEditor: Rebecca Stratford
