Chanel Person is a cosmetic chemist, entrepreneur, and the founder of The Formulation Bar, an experiential beauty lab where science meets creativity.

Her professional background in cosmetic science and analytical chemistry allows her to blend technical expertise with creative beauty experiences that educate and inspire.
