Eleanor Vance

Health & Beauty Editor

Eleanor covers health and beauty products with a focus on what the underlying science actually supports. She holds a graduate degree in clinical nutrition and worked for several years in the cosmetics industry before moving into journalism, which gives her unusual insight into how marketing claims translate (or don't) into real-world results. Her reviews evaluate active ingredient concentrations, peer-reviewed evidence for claimed effects, and clinical trial design — separating products that work from those riding the wellness trend cycle.
