Developing alcoholic products is a science — and a rare skill. With active ingredients like alcohol, the chemistry becomes complex. At KitChem, we combine deep expertise in chemistry, food science, and formulation to create beverages that perform, taste, and comply with regulatory requirements.

Carolina Vazquez Mitchell is one of the few chemists with hands-on experience in both food science and active-ingredient formulation — making her a true unicorn in the product development world.

With over a decade of experience and hundreds of products created for startups and Fortune 500 brands, KitChem helps you bring sophisticated alcohol products to life with confidence.
