Katie Chester

Head of Ecology

Smink Laboratories

Having graduated with a master’s degree in Biochemistry from the University of Oxford Katie entered the cosmetic industry, initially working in sales. During this time, she developed an interest in the lifecycle of beauty products and their impact on the environment. Quickly realising that safeguarding the future of the planet goes well beyond sustainability, Katie became increasingly engaged with the Neo-Ecology megatrend, combining economic considerations with ecological awareness, and understanding the crucial role green technologies will play in providing solutions.
