What does a cosmetic chemist do?

A cosmetic chemist formulates and develops skincare, haircare, makeup, and color products. They select and blend ingredients, ensure stability and safety, run stability testing, and comply with FDA and regional regulations. They work with emulsifiers, preservatives, actives, and packaging to create shelf-stable, effective products ready for manufacturing.
