Wendy Ouriel – Research & Publications

Wendy Ouriel is a researcher specializing in dermal biology, botanical chemistry, and cosmetic formulation science. Her work focuses on the stability behavior of antioxidant compounds, peptide transport limitations in topical delivery systems, and the preservation of biologically active botanical extracts under real-world environmental exposure.

Her research examines how oxidative stress, environmental aggressors, and formulation architecture influence skin barrier physiology and long-term dermal health. Through laboratory experimentation and observational formulation studies, her work explores the interaction between compound stability, solvent environments, lipid carrier systems, and dermal bioavailability.

Ouriel is the founder of OUMERE, a laboratory-driven cosmetic research initiative dedicated to developing biologically informed dermal formulations. OUMERE functions as an applied research platform where experimental observations are translated into formulation systems designed to preserve compound activity and maintain functional stability throughout extended dermal exposure.

Her scientific work is documented through the OUMERE Laboratory Journal, an archival research notebook recording formulation trials, ingredient behavior analysis, and observational laboratory findings related to cosmetic chemistry and dermal science.
