    I am a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical formulations with expertise in dietary supplement formulation. I specialize in all custom, high-end research-based supplements, including herbals, organic, CBD, women and children health, nootropics, sports nutrition, probiotic, energy blends, and new custom formulations for all applications. A scientifically validated customized formula is a key to success in dietary supplement formulation. Putting together important ingredients needs an in-depth understanding of their working on the human body and appropriate dosages to be included in the formulation. I can modify an existing formula and offer expert guidance on ingredients to be included or deleted to get desired effects. I offer expert guidance to develop and formulate dietary supplement products whether they are already in the market or are still in the idea stage in your mind, whether it is a line extension or is a completely new line. I help you develop and formulate a scientifically-backed dietary supplement product at any stage of development. I have good contacts with several US dietary supplement manufacturers and can help you with selecting suitable manufacturers for your product. I have more than 4590 hours of experience in Upwork and successfully completed more than 170 projects. Most of the projects were dietary supplement formulation and Medico-market Research. I have hands-on experience in PubMed research, Clinical and pre-clinical trials, Scientific medical and pharmaceutical journals, data extraction from scientific and academic documents, and all types of citations like MLA, APA, IEEE, Vancouver, etc. Projects successfully completed in Upwork includes: 1. Custom Dietary Supplement Formulation: (Organic/Ayurvedic/Natural/Nutritional/Sports/Herbal/Probiotic and prebiotic custom dietary supplement formulations): I can help you successfully create a dietary supplement formula from IDEA to MARKET. I develop step by step a scientifically validated formula with suitable ingredients and their quantities, finding manufacturers, asking for the quotations, negotiation, labeling requirements, and placing the order for manufacturing 2. Claims validation/substantiation of dietary supplements with scientific studies to help in filing for FDA and to claim benefits scientifically to the customers 3. Medical/Pharma research: I have full access to most of the academic journals Also, I represented USA companies in India, visited suppliers, and their manufacturing sites on the client's behalf, and gave a detailed report to assist them in decision making. I would welcome the opportunity to provide you with an exceptional service that will fit your budget and exceed your expectations. I put clients first and aspire to deliver consistently high quality, cost-effective services. I look forward to working with you. Truly Yours Dr. Vijayanand Pujari

    Hi! I am a professional food scientist/timber farmer able to help with product development and quality projects. I've worked in both quality and R&D in various food industry settings, from the largest winery in the world to a small start-up spice company. I love all parts of R&D, from benchtop product formulation to ramping up the recipe for large-scale production. Supplement gummies, spice blends, wine and other alcohol beverages and spirits, candy, baked goods, sausages and cheeses are some of the products I have had a lot of experience developing. I also take food quality and food regulations seriously and can help your company prepare for the many stages of FSMA compliance. I'm not someone who needs a lot of direction - once we discuss the project, I will come back with questions, and once those are answered you can expect the project to be delivered quickly.

    Hi, Akmal is a cosmetic formulator working as a cosmetic chemist for 5 years. He can do ingredient research, sourcing of ingredients, formulation of ingredients, and finally, can run a test batch (optional) for your cosmetic product including skincare, haircare, and makeup while complying with required guidelines such as Vegan, Natural, Sephora clean, and Credo clean. You would get your fully prepared personal care product at a one-stop shop according to your need such as organic or synthetic products. If you want something innovative, just give him a try! What can you get? ✅Cosmetic Ingredient Research: He would select the ingredients from scientific studies to make sure the efficiency of the cosmetic product. He would cross the safety of the ingredients from different sources such as EWG and Drug bank to make sure the safety of the cosmetic product. ✅Cosmetic Ingredient Sourcing: You will get the most authentic and economical suppliers who don’t have large minimum orders. If any selected ingredient is hard to be sourced, you will get an alternative ingredient or formulation method to synthesize in the lab. ✅Cosmetic Ingredient Formulation: You would get the function of each ingredient along with effective concentration, so you may understand your product. You would get a scalable format of cosmetic formulation, so you may produce batch size according to your choice. You would get the manufacturing guideline and required equipment, so you may know what would be needed. They would also provide you with final product properties such as texture, pH and shelf life, so you may know what would it look like. ✅Test Batch: You can tell him to run a test batch for your personal care product. Their lab is in the USA.

    Do you have an idea for a new cosmetic or personal care product that is natural, vegan, organic, green, or botanical, and do you need help formulating it so that it meets the highest quality requirements and has the best possible economic effectiveness? You've come to the perfect person to get your United States NOP, NATRUE, COSMOS, or ACO certification, among other certifications. I am a research and development cosmetic chemist and cosmetic product formulator who specialises in Natural/Vegan/Organic/Green products. I am a member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC), the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). 💫Qualification Cosmetic Science, Chemical Engineering, and Science Laboratory Technology are my academic specialties. 💫Formulation of Cosmetics If you have an idea, I am able to design a prototype for the product line in accordance with the specifications and goals that you have provided. The approach entails the creation of the formula as well as its optimization, the selection of the raw materials, process architecture, and the manufacturing method. I will develop natural, vegan, organic, and eco-friendly products for skincare, oral care, and hair care, in addition to a broad variety of essential cosmetic and personal care products. New product innovations rely on the most effective anti-aging and skin whitening ingredients now available on the market, many of which aren't widely used. As a researcher, I employ these rare compounds in my new product developments. To help clients with the patenting process, I've sent 15 of them to patent lawyers after we were successful in getting patents for some of our unique biotechnological formulations in the green, organic, natural, and vegan cosmetic and cosmeceutical markets. Since I have my own laboratory, I am able to successfully develop cosmetic products that are in compliance with all of the regulations set by the EU, the TGA, and the FDA. I have more than ten years of expertise in the development of new products, notably in the field of cosmetics, as well as in the formulation of new products and the procedures involved in chemical manufacture. My expertise in quality assurance and quality control extends to a broad variety of areas, including chemical analytics. 💫Product Development/Management In addition to being a formulator and a cosmetic chemist, I am also prepared to work as a thorough product manager and developer to put the concept of a cosmetic line into reality. My high-level duties as a product manager include taking care of the following, among other things: ✔ The picking and choosing of the products that will become part of the cosmetic brand. ✔ Getting in touch with manufacturing companies in order to have the products manufactured by them. ✔ Finding dropshipping companies to use for exporting the products. ✔ Execute the branding and packaging. The scope of my work spans through: ✔ Research and Development (R&D)/Formulation ✔ Regulatory Compliance ✔ Quality Assurance (QA)/Stability Testing ✔ Packaging ✔ Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) ✔ Contract Manufacturing ✔ Good Manufacturing Practices (ISO 22716) Everything I do revolves around your requirements and preferences. As for me, I'll keep at it until you're completely satisfied, too. Please feel free to make an offer if you think I can help you with your project.
