TaikiUSA , a science-driven, innovative beauty tool and product supplier of cosmetic and skincare solutions, has hired Dr. Laura Frazier to join the team as chief scientist. Frazier is a veteran scientist with over 16 years of experience with electrospun polymer nanofibers. 
 
Dr. Frazier spent over 11 years as the director of SNS Nano Fiber Technology – pioneering uses of nanofibers for applications in wound care and beauty, in addition to other areas. She earned her PhD in chemistry from the University of Akron.  
 
At TaikiUSA, Dr. Frazier will work with the team to research solutions that incorporate the latest technology and scientific advancements for skin care application. Focused on sustainable alternatives, Taiki discovered a better option for waterless technology using nanofibers. 
 
TaikiUSA and Stellenbosch Nanofiber Company (SNC) from South Africa have formed a joint venture that focuses on the beauty expertise of Taiki and the exclusive technology of SNC. SNC is the inventor of the first production method of nanofibers and TaikiUSA helped fund the first commercial factory that focuses solely on the advancement of beauty products. This partnership led to the creation of Bōshi Beauty.
 
“Adding Dr Frazier to the organization will allow us to have a broader commitment to nanofiber and  overall sustainability,” says Jim Perry, president/CEO TaikiUSA. “She will be looking for new ideas and innovations for eco-friendly offerings,  expand the Waterless Bōshi Fiber product line and research new formulations and ingredients.”
