Formulation Chemist

Job Description

Job Title: 🔬 Toothpaste Alchemist / Formulation Chemist (Gen-Z Skincare Vibes, But for Teeth) Company: [Your Startup Name] – We’re redefining oral care for the TikTok generation. No boring mint, no corporate fluff. Just clinically legit, planet-friendly grins. Location: Hyderabad Level: Mid to Senior (2-7years cosmetic/personal care formulation) ⚡ Your Mission Turn wild ideas (think: "blue raspberry anti-plaque bomb" or "zero-waste glitter toothpaste") into real, shelf-ready formulas that make oral hygiene actually exciting. You’ll lead our R&D lab to create toothpaste that’s viral-worthy, dentist-approved, and earth-kind – from first sketch to factory scale. 🧪 What You’ll Do Cook up revolutionary formulas – Design toothpaste from scratch: vegan, sustainable, and packed with science (fluoride alternatives? novel actives? Let’s talk). Make mouths happy – Obsess over texture, flavor, and sensorial experience (goodbye, chalky grit; hello, smooth vibes). Crush compliance – Ensure every batch meets global regs (FDA, EU Cosmetics, ISO 22716) – no greenwashing, just real science. Geek out on testing – Run stability, compatibility, efficacy, and safety trials (lab coat + playlist required). Scale the magic – Take small-batch "eureka!" moments to mass production without losing the sparkle. Eco-hack packaging – Partner with designers to make tubes that don’t outlive sea turtles. Spot trends before they trend – Turn TikTok dental hacks into product features (yes, "viral-worthy" is KPI). 🎯 You’re Our Dream Hire If You… Hold a BS/MS in Chemistry, Cosmetic Science, or Material Science (or equivalent hands-on wizardry). Have 2+ years formulating cosmetics, toiletries, or oral care (toothpaste/paste experience = huge plus). Speak fluent colloid chemistry – emulsifiers, abrasives, humectants (glycerin isn’t just for viral skin care). Live sustainability – upcycled ingredients, waterless formats, plastic-free tech? Pitch us. Thrive in a startup lab – self-driven, prototype-obsessed, and allergic to red tape. Are Gen-Z fluent – You get why "mint" is basic and how to make "toothbrushing a self-care moment."
