Clean Beauty Cosmetic Chemists - KKT Innovation Labs

We are clean beauty cosmetic chemists

Founded by Krupa Koestline, our clean beauty cosmetic chemists understand the importance of innovation in today’s competitive and saturated beauty market. Savvy modern consumers demand effective products created with thoughtful innovations and safer formulations that are free of green-, clean-, and science-washing. It’s no longer about formulating products only with simple chemistry in mind. Rather, the effects active ingredients have on the entire body’s biology and health must be considered to be truly holistic.

Our chemists formulate clean beauty products rooted in science, free of ingredients and processes with questionable safety

Based on the latest research in cosmetic chemistry, environmental science, and skin and body biology, we refuse to take shortcuts in developing products. As a result, our products are designed to be safe for consumers and the planet.
