Carina Santos Hurtado

I am a PhD chemist specialized in cosmetic science and dermocosmetics, with a strong background in formulation, ingredient evaluation and scientific analysis.

I support cosmetic brands, laboratories and startups in the development and optimization of skincare products through an evidence-based approach. My work combines scientific rigor with practical market understanding.

My expertise includes:

• Cosmetic formulation strategy and active ingredient selection

• Ingredient analysis and safety evaluation

• Product performance assessment

• Regulatory and compliance advisory (EU cosmetic framework)

• Technical documentation and scientific support materials

• Optimization of existing formulas

• R&D guidance for innovative dermocosmetic concepts

I focus on delivering objective, science-driven solutions. I do not promote specific brands or trends — my work is independent and based on data, research and formulation logic.

Whether you are developing a new cosmetic line or improving an existing product portfolio, I can provide structured, strategic and technically sound support.
