Day-to-Day Responsibilities of a Cosmetic Formulation Chemist
A formulation chemist can produce complex and challenging formulas. They're able to thoroughly create items approved by safety and health regulations. Here are some responsibilities they may encounter daily:
Formula Creation
Formulation chemists are responsible for creating the formula for your product. They usually start with consulting with you to learn more about your preferences and brand. After determining the type of product you want, our chemists can start selecting ingredients that are effective, safe, and compatible. They then start measuring and mixing the ingredients and add adjustments to achieve the proper performance, texture, scent, and color. We can also send you samples for you to try. We can adjust and tweak these formulations until you are happy with your product.
Testing
After creating your formulation, we run various tests on it. Our chemists are trained to evaluate effectiveness, stability, viscosity, and more. We can also use these tests to determine allergenic potential and other factors. With combined industry of development and manufacturing to brand design, each cosemtic product is high quality and a unique formula.
Documentation
In the cosmetic industry, documentation is often required to ensure regulatory compliance and quality control. It also makes it easier for manufacturers to reference the process and ingredients used to formulate your product. Our chemists can document the ingredient quantities, procedures, test results, and other information when formulating your product.
Regulatory Compliance
Regulations in the cosmetic industry can change regularly. They should comply with regional and international requirements to begin selling your products. Before finalizing your formulation, our chemists can conduct safety assessments and assist you with labeling compliance.
Communication
Another daily task for our formulation chemists is communicating with our clients and other team members. Our chemists may contact you to discuss changes to your formulation, testing results, and other general updates. They may also communicate with other team members about your formulation, product design, and branding. Communication keeps employee personnel aligned on project timelines and goals.
