DVINITI Sustainable Beauty Workshops and Training

“When it comes to chemicals, I’m an industry professional, so avoiding hazardous products on store shelves is a no brainer for me. That’s not enough anymore. Now I’m on a mission to raise chemical awareness and literacy so you can make informed, health-conscious decisions about the products you bring into your home.”

-M. Robinson Garcia

 

 

What are The Sustainable Beauty Workshops?

The Sustainable Beauty Workshops improve chemical literacy of students, empowering them to make informed, health-conscious decisions about the household/retail products they use on a daily basis.

To immerse participants in four to eight weeks of formulation training using natural, plant-based ingredients.

To simulate the process of designing personal care formulas from concept to creation and ultimately develop personal branding, marketing, and entrepreneurial skills.

Solution

The workshops are led by cosmetic chemist, Marquita Robinson Garcia - owner of DVINITI Skin Care, and focus on using scientific processes to substantiate the effectiveness of natural cosmetics and remedies. Her dedicated team offers accessible cosmetic chemistry training through the Sustainable Beauty Workshops, providing students with hands-on experience in creating personal care goods they can use.

Scope of the Lab 2 Launch Program

Sustainability goes beyond green packaging and minimizing waste - it's about choosing quality ingredients that we use every day. The workshops cover content directly from the guide, ‘The Sustainable Beauty’, where Robinson-Garcia invites you on a journey of self-discovery, helping you to interpret cosmetic ingredients like a pro.


The DVINITI skin care philosophy is rooted in teaching individuals how to care for their skin to feel beautiful and live well in their bodies. We encourage students to relate their internal chemistry to their environment, helping to connect the dots of what they learn in the classroom with real world applications. Our workshops cultivate a fun environment for creativity, exploration, critical thinking, and problem solving - lifelong skills that enhance our academic and professional future! The three tiers of the program are: Inform - Empower - Create


  • Inform: Training on how to interpret ingredient listings of retail products and substitute for natural ingredients.
  • Empower: Intro to analytical equipment used to analyze skin for self assessment and consulting clients.
  • Create: Introduction on how to launch a product; personal and retail branding. Create a custom box of skin care products.

A cosmetic chemist and Philly native, Marquita Robinson-Garcia surprised her coworkers and family when she left her managerial role with Dow-DuPont, a global raw material supplier, in 2017. Having spent over a decade climbing the ladder in the chemicals industry - with a focus on beauty care, she was at the peak of her career, servicing brands like Chanel, NARS and bareMinerals. By 2019 she opened the doors to her own studio lab, DVINITI skin care, with a transformative approach to retail beauty— all ingredients would be 100% natural, all products would be 100% customizable, and the objective would focus 100% on enhancing consumer education and experience to personalize skin care. 

Purpose: Why do we provide cosmetic chemistry workshops?

“At DVINITI, we are pioneering the future of sustainable beauty and cosmetics through the DVINITI skin care mission to INFORM - EMPOWER - CREATE. Our philosophy is rooted in teaching individuals how to care for their skin to feel beautiful and live well in their bodies. We encourage students to relate their internal chemistry to their environment, helping to connect the dots of what they learn in the classroom to real world experiences and applications. Our workshops cultivate a safe environment for innovative and creative thought processes that encourage critical thinking skills and problem solving - lifelong skills that enhance our academic and professional future! ” says Robinson-Garcia. 

The workshops will cover content directly from her guide, The Sustainable Beauty, where she invites you on a journey of self-discovery, helping you to interpret cosmetic ingredients like a pro. “I have enjoyed much success in the beauty industry, thanks to my chemistry background and training.
