About

Cosmetic Formulation Chemist | Transforming chemistry into beauty through clean, high-performance skincare and cosmetics.

I am a cosmetic formulation chemist with over 5 years of hands-on experience developing innovative, high-performing, and clean beauty products across skincare, haircare, and color cosmetics.
My work blends scientific precision with creative formulation artistry, helping brands bring products to life that feel luxurious, perform beautifully, and meet modern clean-beauty standards.
I’ve developed a wide range of products; from mascaras and eyeliners to cleansers, toners, and hybrid skincare formulas; for both established beauty companies and emerging brands. My professional background includes formulating award-winning products at Markwins Beauty Brands, where my liquid bronzer formulation earned the 2025 Marie Claire Beauty Award for Best Complexion Product. That achievement reflected not just product performance but my ability to design scalable, stable systems that deliver results consumers can feel.
Currently, I provide formulation consulting and R&D support to clients worldwide, helping them:
• Create clean, compliant formulations that meet “Sephora Clean,” EU, and FDA standards.
• Develop stability-tested, market-ready formulas with elegant textures and long shelf life.
• Optimize existing products for better viscosity, feel, and performance.
• Source reliable raw material suppliers and identify safe preservative systems.
• Prepare manufacturing and regulatory documentation for seamless production handoff.

My approach is collaborative and detail-driven. I work closely with each client to understand their vision, brand philosophy, and budget goals before transforming their concept into a functional, ready-for-market product.

I’m passionate about creating cleaner, safer, and more sustainable formulations without compromising efficacy. Whether you’re launching your first product or refining a global line, I bring the chemistry, creativity, and compliance expertise to make your formulas stand out.

Let’s work together to transform your ideas into innovative, high-performing beauty products.
