Cosmetic Chemist Needed for Nail care product

Cosmetic Chemist Needed for Natural Nail Polishing Paste We're a problem-solving cosmetics brand looking for an experienced cosmetic chemist or nail-care formulator to develop a **one-step natural nail polishing and waxing paste**. The concept is inspired by the traditional P.Shine Japanese manicure, which creates smooth, pearl-like shine on bare nails through polishing and waxing rather than nail polish. We want to simplify this into one easy-to-use product that customers can gently buff into their nails using a soft chamois or similar buffer. The finished product should: * Create a noticeable, natural pearl-like shine * Smooth the appearance of minor ridges and surface irregularities * Leave nails feeling conditioned and lightly protected * Produce a dry, non-greasy finish * Wear away gradually without chipping * Require no polish remover * Minimise abrasion and removal of nail material * Be suitable for weekly use, including on mature, brittle nails The result should look like naturally healthy, freshly manicured nails—not clear nail polish. Scope and Deliverables The selected formulator will be expected to: * Produce a formula suitable for commercial manufacturing * Support UK and US cosmetic compliance * Help develop and sample the product * Provide the final formula with percentages and complete INCI * Provide a manufacturing method and raw-material specifications Ideal Experience Relevant experience includes: * Nail-care formulation * Anhydrous balms or wax-based cosmetics * Nail buffing creams or natural manicure products * Cosmetic-grade polishing materials * UK or US cosmetic compliance * Formula scale-up and manufacturing Please start your proposal with **“Natural Nail Paste”** so we know you have read the complete post.
