AfriU Refinery

Skin as it should be — the health-without-hype podcast that takes an unfiltered look at skincare and the science behind it. It cuts through the jargon, dispels the myths, and unpacks what works, what doesn't, and why.

A six-part series featuring the final recorded conversations of Esse's founder, Trevor Steyn. Trevor was a chemist who spent his career studying the skin as a living ecosystem. In this series, recorded before he passed away, he sat to talk through the science he loved most: the microbiome, the barrier, and the quiet logic of healthy skin.

I am devastated by the news of Trevor's passing, my heart and world having come to a standstill the moment I received the news. He opened my eyes to the power of conscious living, and I am forever changed because of it.

Trevor's influence has shaped me into the person I am today, and I will be eternally grateful for the awareness and growth he inspired. His legacy will live on through me and countless others he's touched.

The news of his passing is surreal, and my world feels like it's stopped turning. I will deeply miss the man who had such a profound impact on my life, but I know his influence will continue to inspire me and many others.
