Editor in Chief, The Beauty Briefing
Regina Bonham Bordeaux is Editor in Chief of The Beauty Briefing, an independent beauty publication focused on helping you make smarter beauty buying decisions.
She leads The Beauty Briefing’s editorial approach to product evaluation, Beauty News, ingredient analysis, comparisons, and evidence-based buying guidance. Her work centers on a simple question: What is actually worth knowing before you buy?
Rather than treating marketing claims, trending ingredients, or brand announcements as proof, Regina’s approach looks at the context behind them—including the complete formula, available evidence, finished-product testing, real-world use, value, and whether a product meaningfully earns a place in your routine.
Editorial approach
Regina oversees The Beauty Briefing’s editorial standards and evaluation methodology, which are designed to separate what a brand says from what the available evidence actually supports.
That means looking beyond individual hero ingredients and asking whether the finished product was tested, whether the evidence matches the formula and outcome being discussed, whether meaningful limitations are missing, and whether the product offers a practical advantage over simpler or less expensive alternatives.
The goal is not to make beauty more complicated. It is to make the decision easier.
What Regina covers
Regina’s work includes skincare science, cosmetic ingredients, beauty-product claims, emerging beauty technologies, product launches, regulatory developments, formula differences, hair and scalp care, and products marketed around skin longevity.
Her Beauty News coverage focuses on developments that could meaningfully affect what you buy, how you interpret a product claim, or how you compare products across brands and markets.
How The Beauty Briefing evaluates information
The Beauty Briefing prioritizes primary and authoritative sources whenever possible, including official product documentation, regulatory agencies, peer-reviewed research, clinical studies, ingredient documentation, and direct company disclosures.
Brand statements and press releases can establish what a company announced, but they are not treated as independent proof that a claim is true. When evidence is limited, preliminary, conflicting, or specific to an ingredient rather than a finished product, the coverage says so.

Editorial independence
The Beauty Briefing’s editorial conclusions are intended to serve the reader first. Coverage is not determined by whether a brand is popular, trending, expensive, inexpensive, or available through an affiliate retailer. Products and claims are evaluated on their own merits using the publication’s current editorial standards.
