Nick Wallen
With a background in chemistry, microelectronics and IT, Manchester University graduate Nick Wallen co-created JooMo to answer the paradox of why there’s a skin allergy epidemic raging across the wealthy Western world. His research led him to the disturbing conclusion that chemicals in everyday cosmetics could be a primary cause. These ingredients altered the skin’s natural ecosystem, and even so-called ‘natural’ cosmetics contained these dangerous additives. Determined to clean up the industry, Nick invented, JooMo, the world's first ever 100% natural and preservative free face wash. JooMo's cutting edge skin bacteria technology restores the skin’s natural biodiversity, enabling the skin to heal itself. Ahead of his time, Nick has been researching the little-studied subject of the Skin Microbiome since 2011, with JooMo aiming high as the 'first company to move the science of the gut to the skin'. His aim is to revolutionise the industry into an honest, research-driven and health-giving one, and says currently, it is 'a skin-damaging, dishonestly labelled one not backed up by science'.
Russell Jones
Dr. Jones has a background in research and the field application of pesticides and plant regulators, and has conducted human health and ecotoxicity risk asssessments on conventional chemicals and biopesticides for over 25 years. He worked in the private sector for six years as a biologist conducting human health risk assessments under US EPA contracts, then joined the Office of Pesticide Programs of US EPA in 1997. Dr. Jones currently is the Senior Scientist in the Risk Assessment Branch of the Biopesticides & Pollution Prevention Division. He supervises science review and risk assessment processes for Biochemical pesticides within the Branch and supervises reviews of product chemistry, human health, ecotoxicity, and product performance. Dr. Jones is the current Chair of the Biochemical Classification Committee and is the lead scientist on the development regulatory guidance on Plant Biostimulants. He earned B. A., Biology at Mansfield University, Mansfield, Pennsylvania, an M. S., in Crop Science (minor: Soil Science) at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, and a Ph.D., Agronomy and Plant Physiology at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas. He also served as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plant Physiology at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.
