Replay: João Trabucho in Keuringsdienst van Waarde
Can you use cat litter as a facial mask? Sedimentologist and UYA-member dr. João Trabucho Alexandre lets us know in the Keuringsdienst van Waarde-episode of January 10th.
In Keuringsdienst van Waarde a team of reporters investigates whether manufacturers are honest about what they put in their food and cosmetics. This episode's topic was clay masks: What kind of clay is actually being used? This turns out to be bentonite, a clay that also appears in construction materials and cat litter. How much does the bentonie in clay masks differ from this? To answer this question, Keuringsdienst van Waarde visited João Trabucho's laboratory at Utrecht University. His results are revealed in the full episode.
