Hello,
I am definitely the right person for this job! I'm a Ph.D. Organic Chemist (USC, 2002) and I spent six years on the research faculty at Ga Tech. I have >30 granted patents and published scholarly papers in top chemistry journals. I have lots of experience with cosmetics / personal care products / formulations. I'm very active in the cosmetic industry and have extensive experience sourcing all-natural, organic, responsible ingredients whenever possible.
I lead you through the entire process - defining properties and aesthetics that you'd like to see in the products, writing a formulation, finding you manufacturers if needed and acting as your representative with them if necessary, writing safety documents, helping you with regulations, and I can even prepare small test batches for you if necessary.
I'll send frequent updates, so you always know where we are in the project. I can also make small batches of a formulation, if you desire, if you ship all of the ingredients to me (I can recommend vendors if you need).
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
