Yacine
Product Development, Cosmeceutical
Yacine is the scientific brain behind our Cosmeceutical portfolio. As the grandson of a herbalist, he was brought up with a deep respect for all things phyto and understands the medicinal and cosmeceutical value of plants and natural active ingredients.
Trained as a chemical engineer (Organic Synthesis – Analyst – Colloidal Systems), Yacine has 20 years of experience in product development, where he applies the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and math to the creation of innovative botanical formulas and delivery systems.
He has collaborated with brands such as Clarins and L’Oréal and has contributed to the creation and certification of several cosmetic factories in France and around the world. This includes the filing of 2 patents and the completion of more than 30 cosmetic clinical trials. In summary, Yacine is our in-house genius, like Nikola Tesla – but less electricity and more phyto innovation, and maybe not as mad!
