Sonia Park
President
Hi! I am a senior studying biological sciences and chemistry. Since middle school, I was always interested in skincare. I was originally on a pre-med track into dermatology, but I discovered cosmetic chemistry! In the future, I aspire to become a cosmetic chemist/formulation chemist. My favorite product is Krave Beauty's Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser! I'm a homebody, so I love movie nights at home and cooking yummy food :)

Hello! I'm Felicia :) I’m a 4th year human biology major who also used to be on the pre-med route. Now I’m focusing on exploring and expanding my own interests! These past couple years, I've been really into skincare, and I’m using the “how it works” as my gateway into exploring cosmetic chemistry! My current favorite product is the Neogen Dermalogy Day-Light Protection Airy Sunscreen. Outside of that, I love to eat, travel, play games with friends, and hang out with cats :)
