Cosmetic & Chemical Expert Witness Consulting

Expert Witness Services

I provide expert witness consulting services for product liability, regulatory compliance, labeling, product defects, intellectual property disputes, and false advertising matters involving cosmetic and OTC personal care products in the United States. My work frequently involves class actions, false advertising claims, FDA compliance issues, contamination investigations, recalls, and disputes related to cosmetic and OTC product formulation, manufacturing, and labeling.

I have experience reviewing technical and regulatory documentation, preparing expert witness opinion reports, and providing deposition testimony for both plaintiff and defense-side counsel in state and federal litigation.

I am a senior executive in the cosmetics industry with over 15 years of experience in R&D and manufacturing. I hold a PhD in Organic Chemistry from Johns Hopkins University and currently serve as Vice President of R&D for a cosmetic contract manufacturer.

CPG Consulting Services

In addition to expert witness work, I provide consulting services to cosmetic, OTC, and ingredient companies across the full product lifecycle. My capabilities include R&D strategy, formulation development, prototype creation, ingredient evaluation, regulatory pathway assessment, and scale-up support from lab bench to commercial manufacturing.

I advise on claims substantiation, stability and safety testing strategy, supplier qualification, and quality systems, and I support technical marketing teams with accurate, defensible copy grounded in formulation science. My experience in contract manufacturing and executive R&D leadership allows me to bridge scientific, operational, regulatory, and commercial priorities for growing CPG brands and ingredient suppliers.
