Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

​Hello, ​We are an emerging clean-beauty haircare brand, and we are looking to hire an experienced cosmetic chemist to finalize the technical formula for our flagship Hair Growth/Scalp Serum. We have already built the master ingredient concept and need a professional to turn it into a production-ready formula. ​Project Scope: ​NDA Required: You must sign an ironclad Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement before any ingredient details, specific active ratios, or brand concepts are disclosed. ​ Formula Review & Optimization: Review our current ingredient concept (which includes specific trademarked clinical growth actives, peptides, a time-released component, and a weightless, silicone-free base designed for all hair types) to verify compatibility, proper clean preservation, and correct pH balance. ​ Manufacturing Batch Sheet: Create a professional laboratory manufacturing sheet breaking down the formula by weight percentages (totaling 100%) and step-by-step compounding phases (Phase A, Phase B, etc.) so it can be handed directly to a small-batch contract manufacturer. ​ Aesthetic & Stability Check: Ensure the natural blue hue of the formula remains stable, absorbs completely clear upon application, and will not cause staining to skin or fabrics. ​Budget & Timeline: ​Budget: $300 (Fixed Price Milestone) ​Timeline: Looking to complete the finalized compounding sheet within 1–2 weeks. ​Please reply with your specific experience in custom haircare formulation, clean beauty, or scalp treatments. Thank you, and we look forward to reviewing your proposal!
