About Us | The Scientific Method Applied to History
Kosmētikos Agora is a cosmetics brand founded by two pharmacists graduated from Paris-Sud University, with over 18 years of combined experience in the international cosmetics industry (Natura & Co, L'Oréal) and in pharmacy practice.
Our mission: to decode ancestral beauty rituals (from Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome to the present day) through the lens of modern science, and to reformulate everything proven to be scientific, safe, and effective. Each Kosmētikos Agora formula is the result of millennia of expertise and modern scientific rigor; without compromise, without myths.

View my LinkedIn profilePharmacist graduated from the Complutense University of Madrid.
I completed my studies with a Master's degree in cosmetics from Paris-Sud University. My experience is based on eight years spent within international groups such as Natura & Co and L'Oréal, as well as solid experience in pharmacy over the counter.
At the crossroads of pharmacy and beauty, I have developed an expert and human approach to skincare. Convinced that well-being and self-esteem go hand in hand, I consider cosmetics a powerful ally in revealing what is most authentic in each of us.
I invite you to explore a world where science, history, and innovation come together to better care for you. Every day is an opportunity to flourish and shine.

ERIKA YAYA POVEDA
View my LinkedIn profilePharmacist graduated from the Colombia National University.
I completed my education with a master's degree in cosmetics from Paris-Sud University. With ten years of experience working with manufacturers and raw materials companies, I have also had the pleasure of sharing my knowledge of cosmetology and biology with undergraduate students.
Passionate about cosmetic science and dermatology, I consider this discipline not just a job, but a true calling. Good products don't just act on the surface: they boost self-confidence, reveal our inner beauty, and contribute to our overall well-being.
Believing in the power of quality cosmetics is making an informed choice: that of taking care of oneself with high standards, accuracy and kindness.
TRANSPARENCY
We believe that trust is built on clarity. Every ingredient, every choice, and every step is explained honestly. We offer complete transparency so you can make informed decisions and chart your own course.
ADVENTURE
Born from Anemoia, our brand explores forgotten traditions and ancestral wisdom. Each creation becomes a bridge to this knowledge, preserved in a digital archive, our little Library of Alexandria, which nourishes our future formulas and celebrates a living heritage.
HARMONY
We strive for harmony between effectiveness, gentleness, and sustainability. Made in France with natural ingredients, our products respect the planet. We honor our historical heritage and learn its lesson: the future can only be built on respect for the past.
