Doğukan writes the ingredient and formulation research published on this site. The focus is narrow on purpose: what a botanical actually contains, what the published literature does and does not establish, and how that translates into a cosmetic formula.
Minerva108 Cosmetics is a vegan cosmetics manufacturer based in Istanbul, Türkiye. Working on the manufacturing side means the questions that shape these articles come from real production decisions: which extract, standardised to what, sourced from where, and what can honestly be claimed about it.
How this content is written
Every claim of substance carries a numbered citation with a DOI. Findings from research are reported as findings, never attributed to a product. Where the evidence is thin, the article says so — an ingredient described accurately is more useful than one described generously.
Articles covering health-adjacent topics are reviewed by a qualified professional before publication, and carry that reviewer's name.
Nothing published here is medical advice. For decisions about your health, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
