What I'm looking for

I seek an R&D role in luxury cosmetics where I can advance skincare formulation, contribute to product innovation, and work in an international, collaborative team.

I am a chemical engineer with hands-on R&D experience in skincare formulation across laboratory and project-support roles, focused on luxury cosmetics and international markets.

I have contributed to formula creation and reformulation, co-created a patented microemulsion, performed sensory and instrumental texture analysis on hundreds of formulas, and supported marketing and product strategy through scientific storytelling.

I am organized, creative, and detail-oriented, fluent in French, English, and Russian, open to worldwide relocation and eager to join an international luxury cosmetics R&D team.
