SUCCESS
Anh Kim Phan
MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE
(FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY), 2001
PHOTO BY DAVID ZENTZ PHOTOGRAPHY
Founder and scientist at AKP Organic Skincare Labs, Anh
Kim Phan travelled from Vietnam to complete a Master of
Applied Science in Food Science and Technology at Western
Sydney University. ‘It was an eye-opener for me to realise
that you don’t simply accept textbooks are absolutely true
and don’t need to be afraid to express your independent
ideas.’ Anh says.
Anh’s instinct for scientific innovation has been awakened.
For her thesis she developed a simple technique to measure
the oxygen permeability of packaging material – a risk to a
product’s shelf life. This triggered an idea to put sensor cells
on expensive pharmaceutical and skincare packages which
are sensitive to light and heat, helping to ensure they are
stored properly. Now patented, Anh was invited to present
her ideas at the 11th World Conference of Food Science &
Technology in Seoul, South Korea.
When she landed a research and development role with
consumer goods giant Unilever Australasia, Anh realised her
newfound passion for free thinking sat uncomfortably within
the confines of a large corporation. In the meantime, she had
been through a lot in her personal life.
During this time, Anh moved to Los Angeles with her
husband and became a qualified cosmetologist with a
practice in downtown LA. All the while she drew upon her
science education and researched natural remedies for her
ailments.
From this, AKP Protocol Organic Skincare and Health Food
Company was born. Following USDA organic certification
requirements, AKP produces natural products free from
preservatives, paraben and petrochemicals.
‘It is like food for the skin,’ Anh says. ‘It nourishes skin’s
microbiota.’ Along with supplements and a change in diet,
Anh credits her rejection of harsh chemicals for a complete
turnaround in her health. Through sharing her story via
social media and word-of-mouth, Anh has established a
dedicated following of customers. She plans to start selling
her products to the broader market this year. ‘My main
goal is to educate people on how to lead a natural, healthy
lifestyle,’ she says.
