The Chemist

With a palate for aesthetics and an education in biological sciences, I began my skin care manufacturing journey as a formulation specialist at a personal care product production facility in Southern California. Through the years, I’ve been involved with the formulation and manufacturing of numerous skin care private labels, and in 2018, I established my own GMP-equivalent skin care laboratory in Hong Kong to advance my team’s endeavors in skin care R & D.

As I became tired of the rhetoric of standardized beauty and the one-size-fits-all approach that the industry has traditionally capitalized on, I decided to take a plunge into entrepreneurship and create Skin Need – Your Private Formula, hoping to reclaim the narrative and drive skin care development to a customer-need approach, celebrating diversity while honoring an individual’s skin type, doing so through humanizing skin care and considering its impact on people and our planet.
