Job descriptionIdentify and recommend best-in-class raw materials, actives, and functional ingredients from reputable global suppliers. Build a preferred supplier matrix with contacts, lead times, and MOQs to support seamless scale-up. Suggest innovative ingredients with proven clinical data and consumer resonance (trend-forward but scientifically backed). Evaluate ingredient synergies to enhance efficacy, bioavailability, or texture. Develop texture prototypes tailored to brand sensorial goals (lightweight, rich, fast-absorbing, silicone-free slip, etc.). Lead sensory evaluation sessions internally to refine skin feel, spreadability, and absorption profile. Optimize formulas for stability, viscosity, and compatibility with selected packaging.

Provide inputs for pack compatibility testing and sensory interaction with applicators (pumps, droppers, etc.). Support Regulatory documentation for PIF, INCI, safety assessments, and claims validation. Collaborate with Clinical Testing partners to define testing protocols, expected outcomes, and performance benchmarks. Maintain comprehensive formulation records, batch sheets, and test reports. Deliver stability and compatibility reports at predefined checkpoints (1M, 3M, 6M, accelerated). Submit final formulation dossier including rationale, ingredient specs, safety data, supplier references, and recommended manufacturing SOPs. Provide formulation IP documentation highlighting novelty and distinctiveness for trademark / patent purposes. Stay updated on market trends, new actives, and formulation technologies across relevant categories. Recommend next-gen actives or formats (e.g., biomimetic peptides, fermented extracts, encapsulated systems). Identify sustainability improvements — waterless formats, biodegradable bases, or circular ingredient sourcing.

Technical Leadership : Provide scientific input and decision-making support on formulation strategy and raw material selection.
