On this week’s episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Milan Scott to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Milan, aka The Cosmescientist, is a Master of Science in Cosmetic Chemistry and the CEO of Keseana Cosmetic Labs, a cosmetic research and development laboratory based in the DC/MD/VA area (DMV).
With a vibrant online presence as “The Cosmescientist,” Milan educates her followers on the intersection of science and beauty, covering topics like new product developments, formulation science, cosmetic testing, and marketing. Her personal brand is grounded in three core values: mentorship, service, and advocacy. Milan is passionate about showing her audience that science is sexy, playing on the fact that she develops beauty products for a living, while inspiring beauty lovers, especially people of color, to take an interest in STEM.
To further her passion, Milan has established the Keseana STEM Scholarship, an annual grant for graduating high school seniors pursuing higher education in STEM. She is a member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, a 2022 30 under 30 Changemaker Award Recipient, and has been featured in various publications, including The Sun and New Beauty Magazine.
During our chat we talked about her changing career paths to become a cosmetic chemist, what it’s like developing products that are in Target and Sephora, the difference between high-end and drugstore products, the process of developing a product and budget requirements, balancing motherhood and so much more.

Over 25 years of experience in the beauty and wellness industry led Erika (EJE) to have worked with a range of everyday women, and executives, celebrities and models. After seeing chemical damage, stressed and over processed hair, to thinning hair and hair loss, EJE noticed clients were losing self-confidence. She found that women's wellness in general was lacking due to work demands, schedules and raising families. These challenges resulted in the consumption of more fast and processed foods, prescription medications and little to no exercise. EJE has a system to help women, even a few men achieve overall wellness, a balanced lifestyle. The EJE Lifestyle Blueprint. Curated in 2010, The EJE Lifestyle Blueprint, is a uniquely planned approach through applied techniques of compiled research and formulations, using natural ingredients to improve and cure the damaging effects of unhealthy hair, skin and body. Each plan is customized to the individual needs of each client and is tracked in a HAIRPORT, a fancy version of a passport to keep up with your hair and wellness journey! During our chat Erika shared how she supports her clients who have been diagnosed with cancer, her opinion on cosmetic licensing for wig stylists, how to have hard conversations with your clients, what it’s like going from salon to salon suite, old school practices in a modern world and so much more.
