Brand overview
Founded by Formula Botanica graduate Chantal Navratil, Chem Baddie Cosmetics is built on the belief that high-quality cosmetics can be sustainable, inclusive, and accessible. The brand was created to help everyone embrace their inner “baddie”, while making more conscious choices for both people and planet.
Sustainability sits at the heart of Chem Baddie’s values. The brand prioritises minimal packaging that is recyclable and biodegradable wherever possible, reflecting a commitment to reducing environmental impact and encouraging a greener cosmetics industry. Alongside this, Chem Baddie is driven by a strong sense of purpose and equity, actively identifying gaps in the market and challenging traditional barriers within the industry.
Chem Baddie Cosmetics is proudly inclusive, creating products for all genders, races, ages, and budgets. As part of its commitment to supporting women in science, the brand donates 5% of all sales to the Association for Women in Science, reinforcing its mission to uplift and empower through both beauty and action.
Chantal credits Formula Botanica with giving her a deeper understanding of formulation. Through the Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation, she gained the knowledge to fully understand how and why products come together as they do, allowing her to formulate with intention, confidence, and clarity.
