Hello!
Diving into cosmetic science after my PhD, I found that small cosmetic companies often have difficulties in accessing scientific articles and expertise. Even the selection of raw materials can be difficult, as the data supporting them may not be as scientific as it first appears.
With Coherent Beauty, I help you make better, scientifically sound choices. Please feel free to contact me!
