Christal S. Burgess is an aspiring chemist and independent student majoring in cosmetic science and business administration. She specializes in skincare, hair care, micro-manufacturing, stock/portfolio formulating, and independent project development by having her own skincare company called VONNA skin and a personal laboratory bench to conduct research. 

Christal sees the ability to do her independent work and studies as a privilege and honor. She seeks to be a change agent by starting a society that focuses on bringing together black scientists and students in cosmetic science and standing up for alternative education and academic inclusivity so those with unique educational backgrounds can be seen as respected and reliable colleagues in the cosmetic chemistry field. 

“I thank God for the ability to be in cosmetic science and for the gift to make products that are safe and effective. I pray that He will allow me to do more for the future of this industry.” - Christal Burgess |  Entrepreneur & Business Owner of VONNA Skin
