Position Summary

• Translate product concepts and marketing briefs into clear technical formulations requirements.
• Review and evaluate submitted bench samples, provide feedback, and iterate formulations in partnership with vendors to achieve desired product performance, texture, scent, and stability.
• Source and assess ingredients, actives, and raw materials in collaboration to meet efficacy, safety, sustainability, and clean beauty standards.
• Guide and monitor third-party testing including stability, compatibility, SPF, dermatological testing, and safety assessments.
• Ensure products meet global regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, TFDA, EU, Health Canada) and align with internal clean/ethical formulation guidelines.
• Maintain organized documentation of formulation revisions, ingredient lists, INCI data, COAs, and technical specifications.
• Work cross-functionally with Marketing, Design, and Supply Chain to ensure seamless transition from formulation to production and launch.
• Keep abreast of cosmetic industry trends, ingredient innovations, and consumer preferences to inform product development strategy.

Education and Experience

• Bachelors degree in Cosmetic Science, Chemistry, Biology, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in cosmetic or skincare formulation, ideally with a background in vendor or contract manufacturing collaboration.
• Deep understanding of skincare and cosmetic ingredients, formulation technologies, and product categories.
• Familiarity with international cosmetic regulations and quality standards.
• Or combination of equivalent experience, education, and training.

Market America offers competitive salary and generous benefits, including health, dental, vision, life, short and long-term disability insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, and an on-site health clinic.
