Summary

Skin Barrier Breaks explores how everyday cleaning and cosmetic products can compromise our skin's natural defenses. The book investigates the impact of surfactants on the skin barrier, revealing how these chemicals, found in everything from soaps to detergents, can disrupt the stratum corneum, the skin's outermost layer. Readers will gain insight into how prolonged exposure to surfactants can lead to dryness, inflammation, and increased vulnerability to allergens, emphasizing the importance of informed consumer choices.

 
The book systematically examines the science behind skin damage, starting with the basics of skin barrier function and surfactant chemistry. It then delves into how surfactants interact with skin lipids and proteins, using barrier function studies, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements, and other scientific data to illustrate the mechanisms of damage.

 
The book also discusses surfactant-induced inflammation and immune responses, and explores strategies to minimize surfactant damage. Skin Barrier Breaks connects these findings to broader fields like dermatology and cosmetic chemistry, providing a comprehensive resource for anyone seeking to understand and protect their skin health.

    In a country where health care is increasingly driven by profit, Margin over Mission exposes the dire consequences of corporate ownership in hospitals. James Kelly, an ICU nurse with over two decades of experience, narrates a gripping account of his final year at Lovelace Women's Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico—a year marred by preventable deaths, administrative changes, and the heartbreaking loss of a once-mission-driven institution to the clutches of Wall Street. 
 
 
 
Kelly's poignant narrative takes listeners on an emotional journey through the corridors of a hospital that once stood for community and care but became overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of profit. Through detailed anecdotes and critical analysis, Kelly reveals the stark reality of a health care system compromised by private equity, where decisions prioritize profit margins over the mission of saving lives. 
 
 
 
Kelly's unique perspective as an ICU nurse provides an insider's look into how private equity is wreaking havoc in hospitals around the country. His story is also a powerful tribute to the countless health care workers who struggle to maintain their integrity and compassion in an increasingly inhumane system that prioritizes money over people.
