Leah Vairo (FilterBaby): Is Your Tap Water Aging Your Skin? Chlorine, Hard Water & NAD⁺ Depletion

What if the reason your skin barrier keeps breaking down has nothing to do with your products, and everything to do with the water coming out of your tap?

In this episode, Leah Vairo, Chief Brand Officer at FilterBaby, joins us to reveal how chlorine, hard water minerals, and hidden contaminants in your shower or sink accelerate oxidative stress, disrupt the microbiome, and drain your skin’s NAD⁺ reserves. We dive deep on how unfiltered water weakens keratinocyte activity, fuels irritation and redness, and speeds up visible aging. even if you’re using the best skincare.

You’ll discover why most shower filters don’t actually work, the lab data showing filtered water improves hydration and wound healing. Plus, Leah shares the exact filtration criteria that matter (and which ones are marketing hype), and why filtered water is the foundation for every serum and peptide you apply.

Leah Vairo is the Chief Brand Officer at FilterBaby, a company pioneering skin-first water filtration using advanced Japanese ultrafiltration membranes and activated carbon technology.
