Link would be how you would do it, except there is no clean way of deciding which part of the damage is what penetrates DR.

Different damage types get different injury modifiers once they pass through DR, and stacking two dissimilar types with the idea that they help get past DR creates a problem there. About the best you can do in that case is to buy ONE Innate attack with a base damage type, and then add in all the damage effects of the other type through enhancements.

So:
Innate Attack Cutting 1d (Corrosive +100%), getting you a generally x1.5x wounding modifier after DR, and the ability to burn of impacted DR at the usual 5 damage to 1 DR ratio, along with the the "blinds one eye on a major wound" benefit on a hit to the face. Conversely, it should have to deal with DR (corrosion only) where a normal cutting attack wouldnt.
