A skincare innovator with broad experience as an educator, esthetician, nutritionist, and formulator, she has worked with doctors, nurses and lab chemists to research and develop breakthrough clean beauty products that lead the industry forward. She combines her commitment to wellness and organic living with expertise in clinical skincare and nutritional science to provide resources and guidance for people worldwide.
