Dr. Rita Rizzi – RF Cosmetics’ Founder 

Gratified by the numerous successes and feedback obtained, Rita decided to create her own collection with her own brand. In 2016 Nuage de Beauté was born, which was launched on the occasion of Cosmoprof, presented in the pavilion reserved for halal cosmetics.

Three years later, Rita followed a similar path to develop a makeup line product, the Hijabeau halal makeup line. A perfect union between naturalness and technology, safety and performance. It introduced a new way of understanding makeup: inclusion as the main element and the foundation as a specific one needed by Muslim women who wear garments, using an exclusive biodegradable polymer which provides transfer-proof properties.

Rita continues her activity as a cosmetic formulator with her team of researchers who design, develop, test and create new products. She actively writes for cosmetics magazines mainly about three topics: ethics, sustainability and inclusion
