From human rights to hypersensitive skin — Dr. Jeanne’s journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode, we get into the real story behind Figgi Beauty, the skincare brand redefining what it means to care for sensitive skin and sensitive souls. After being diagnosed with panic disorder, Jean quickly realized that healing had to go deeper than just the surface — and so began a new chapter rooted in science, softness, and soul. We dive into the emotional connection between mental health and skin health, the intentional formulation behind Figgi Beauty's products, and the birth of Figgi Soul — an online course and community supporting those navigating anxiety.
We also dig a bit deeper in the beauty industry's blind spots, building trust through community, and why skincare should feel like a safe space — not just a step in your routine.
In this episode, we cover:
What panic disorder taught Jean about beauty, identity, and burnout
The science behind sensitive skin and emotional stress
Why Figi Beauty products are formulated without essential oils, fragrance, or hype
The connection between skincare rituals and mental wellness
How Jean built community through storytelling, not just selling
Her vision for redefining self-care — from skin to soul
