This is to make sure that you are comfortable with sharing your dreams and confidential info with me as well as to make sure that what you need is within my areas of expertise and services.
Hi, I’m Conny.
As an expert in formulation science, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), and marketing strategies for the beauty industry, I’ve helped countless entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life. My hands-on experience with product development and my passion for innovative solutions ensure that my clients receive actionable and insightful advice tailored to their unique needs.
I have been active in the cosmetic industry for 29 years and aside from being President of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, (twice 2009 & 2015), I lecture on the Cosmetic Science course and have published 2 books on Cosmetic formulating.
Some of you may remember me as The Cosmetics Chef ☺️, where I had numerous online courses teaching how to make your own products and turn it into a business.
I served on the Technical Committee for the CTFA (Cosmetics, Toiletries and Fragrance Association in South Africa). I have spoken at numerous global conferences, mainly about natural and organic cosmetics. I am also a co-author of a patent.
