Formulation Scientist – Skincare (D2C Brand)

Location : Remote / Bangalore / Mumbai / Delhi (India)

Type : Full-time / Contract

About the Role

We're building a new-age D2C skincare brand rooted in real science, clean ingredients, and everyday efficacy. We’re looking for a hands-on Formulation Scientist to lead the development of high-performance skincare products—think moisturizers, sunscreens, cleansers, and anti-aging night creams—tailored for Indian skin and climate.

You’ll own everything from early formulation to lab-to-market scale-up—and play a strategic role in setting up a reliable supplier and manufacturing ecosystem.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and optimize formulations for face cleansers, creams, sunscreens, and treatment serums
• Research and evaluate actives (Vitamin C, Retinol, Niacinamide, etc.) for efficacy, stability, and skin safety
• Conduct and document stability, compatibility, and preservative efficacy studies
• Identify and qualify ingredient suppliers—natural, active, and clinically backed
• Build partnerships with 3rd-party manufacturers and raw material suppliers to ensure quality, compliance, and scale readiness
• Collaborate with regulatory, packaging, and branding teams to ensure claims are compliant and consumer-ready
• Liaise with external labs for dermatological, microbial, and SPF testing
• Prepare full formula documentation and support tech transfer to contract manufacturers
