Following her education in formulation, Kristina was an apprentice to renowned Parisian skin expert Joelle Ciocco, and then later established her own treatment practice in New York, which led to developing relationships with acupuncturists and doctors along with various consulting projects with skincare brands.

In 2015 Kristina partnered with the esteemed skincare brand Marie Veronique, based in Berkeley, CA. They launched their first collaboration in 2018, a line of award-winning biomimetic topicals designed to help nature achieve optimum health by supplying the building blocks required for proper maintenance at all levels of the skin. The line has been recognized in Vogue, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Harper’s Bazaar, and many others.
