Scale Your Beauty Brand with Corporate Grade Compliance

Bridge the gap between creative formulation and corporate quality standards. I provide the technical guidance and quality infrastructure you need to launch and scale safely in the EU market.

Why Work With Me?

I offer a unique "middle ground" expertise. With 10 years of Corporate Quality Assurance at industry leaders like Zalando and Oceansapart as well as renowned chemical laboratories, I bring professional-grade rigor to small-scale production.

As a founder of my own natural soap brand, I understand the practical hurdles of indie manufacturing. I combine technical chemical knowledge with corporate QA logic to ensure your brand isn’t just beautiful (your part), but that it’s unshakeable, compliant, and ready for official audits.
