Portrait of Dr. Maren Cho

Maren Cho, Ph.D.

Director of formulation · polymers · 18 years formulation R&D

Nine years directing stability labs for prestige color houses before Velvet Layer. I literally sign off on slip curves and refill seals. Guests who nerd out with me leave with spreadsheets, not just swatches.

Still squeezes tubes on the bench Thursdays so I never lose thread on viscosity drift.

Licensed MUA turned retail architect. Built capsule walls for four flagships across two continents. My job here is choreography: where someone stands when they describe oxidation to us, how we mirror lighting from their bathroom.

Slides into guest DMs personally if a refill arrives colder than expected. Call it obsessive hospitality.
