Husband and wife team, Paul and Karen Sinclair Drake, have more than 25 years' experience in the international healthcare sector with a keen focus on philanthropy. British born Karen is a bona fide cosmetic scientist and author, creating physician dispensed topical products based on green science and functional medicine principles. Before her illustrious career in cosmetics, Karen started her journey studying Innovation Design Engineering and Contemporary Design at the same art school as iconic British fashion designer, Dame Zandra Rhodes. However, it was the world of cosmetics where she found her calling and she went on to achieve her membership with the prestigious Society of Cosmetic Scientists and the Institute of Functional Medicine where she became inspired by complementary and alternative medicine. Karen took this identical concept to skin care where she spent the next two decades in research and development working to multiple ethical, sustainable, green science principles.
She recently received a patent for the first successful natural acne treatment using prebiotics. Not only this, Karen has also recently published her book, SKINISMS, the first in-depth study on the subject of her one true love - the skin microbiome. She is also regularly featured in both Industry and beauty publications in the US and UK.
