I am looking for a job opportunity to continue learning and practicing formulation. I have had nearly a year of experience in a cosmetics lab making daily lab batches and have been working as a product development manager for over 2 years after that. I also graduated with a chemistry (sub-option: biochemistry) to become a cosmetic chemist, so I am very familiar with the lab environment. I would love to learn under a formulator/cosmetic chemist and advance myself!
