Areas of Expertise:

  • Creation of complete PIFs (Product Information Files)
  • Safety assessment (CPSR A & B, NOAEL, SED, MoS)
  • CPNP notification
  • EU labeling and compliance verification
  • Formulation and development of cosmetic ranges
  • Support for product launches (from idea to market)

Field Experience:

  • Performing facial treatments in a salon (skin analysis, personalized protocols)
  • Product testing under real conditions (treatment room and customer use)
  • Sales and advice in store (B2C and B2B)
  • Management of a point of sale and a complete cosmetics business
  • Training and mentoring interns (from high school to Master's level)

This dual expertise allows me to design and secure products that are compliant, effective, and adapted to market expectations.
