Gordana Gorinšek, mag. ing. fitomedicine

I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Zagreb, earning the title of a graduate engineer of agronomy, majoring in Plant Protection and Master of Engineering Phytomedicine. After formal education, I completed a training program at the Aroma Academy Institution in Zagreb and earned a family aromatherapist and aromaamaser title.

At the Aroma Academy, a year later, I taught Botany and Microbiology courses, and I continue my teaching passion at the Galbanum Adult Education Institution in Zagreb, where I am the leader of the Aromatic and Medicinal Plant Grower and Processor program. My task is to bring to the students the legality of agricultural production, with an emphasis on organic production and processing of aromatic and medicinal herbs. At the same College, I am a regular lecturer in Botany courses in the Phytotherapist and Phytoaromatherapist curricula. For the purpose of improving teachers' knowledge and competences, I successfully completed the curriculum "Pedagogical-psychological education" at the Faculty of Teacher Education, University of Zagreb.

For four years I was involved in the production of cosmetics under the brand Aromatic corner. The experience and knowledge gained today is an essential help and foundation in the development of Good Manufacturing Practice (ISO 22716) for clients.

Realizing how important product quality and safety are, I went into further education to do just that. I successfully completed the training "Safety Assessment of Cosmetics in the EU" at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and obtained an international certification for the cosmetic safety assessor in the EU market. Behind me is a long line of cosmetic product safety assessments by domestic and foreign cosmetics companies, and cosmetic safety is the focal point of my professional work.
