Cosmetic Chemist & Skincare Formulator

Self-Employed • Self-employed

Mar 2024 - Present • 2 yrs 6 mos

I’ve been working as a cosmetic chemist, helping individuals and small brands develop their own skincare and cosmetic products from scratch. Most of my work involves creating custom formulations for products like creams, serums, body care, and haircare. I enjoy taking a client’s idea and turning it into something real, whether that means building a formula from the ground up or improving an existing one. Over time, I’ve worked with different types of formulations from simple, natural skincare to more targeted products focused on things like hydration, acne, or anti-aging. I also help with ingredient selection and make sure formulas are practical to produce and consistent in quality. I’ve also done some reverse engineering work, where I analyze existing products and recreate or improve them based on performance and ingredients. I like to keep my approach practical and straightforward, focusing on creating formulas that not only look good on paper but actually work in real use.
