Samantha C.

I’m a cosmetic formulator and certified herbalist with over 8 years of hands-on experience developing skincare formulations from concept through lab-ready development. My background bridges traditional herbal knowledge with modern cosmetic chemistry, allowing me to create products that are both thoughtfully sourced and evidence-driven. I specialize in formulating cleansers, toners, water- and oil-based serums, moisturizers, balms, and ointments, with a strong focus on ingredient functionality, skin compatibility, and long-term stability. I operate from my own R&D lab, where I develop and refine formulas, prepare small-batch samples, and conduct in-house testing to support stability, performance, and manufacturing scale-up. My work often sits at the intersection of formulation science and production, helping brands develop formulas that are realistic to manufacture, compliant with industry standards, and aligned with performance and budget goals. Services I Offer: Custom Skincare Formulation Ingredient & System-Level Consulting Formula Review, Troubleshooting & Optimization Stability, Preservation & Compatibility Guidance Manufacturing & Scale-Up Support
