Creativity drives everything we do, turning ideas into meaningful impact. With opportunities across brands, markets, and divisions, your growth knows no boundaries.

Who We Are

Join us at L’Oréal, the world's #1 beauty company present in over 150 markets. For over a century, we have been transforming; fueled by data, tech, innovation, and science. Together, we tackle big challenges while making sure we stay committed to making the world a more inclusive and a better place for everyone & our planet.

At L’Oréal Research & Innovation we are pushing the boundaries of Science & Tech. We invest heavily in cutting-edge research, leveraging advanced technologies to understand skin, hair, and microbiome, while discovering new active ingredients and launching outperforming formulas. Our 3,500 L'Oréal R&I experts leverage Science & Technology to invent safe, trustable, sustainable & responsible beauty products and experiences that will change people’s lives.

Inside R&I, Open Development is where our chemists work closely with external manufacturers to develop and refine formulas that meet the innovative and edgy expectations of our consumers. We build strong, international collaborations to ensure that products move seamlessly from inception to launch for iconic brands like Urban Decay.

We are seeking a talented and innovative Senior Chemist I to join our Open Development department in El Segundo. In this role, you are responsible for the technical aspects of developing and homologating cosmetic products specifically for the Urban Decay and NYX brands. You will serve as the technical bridge between external partners and internal stakeholders, ensuring every formula reflects commitments to performance, stability, and disruptive beauty.

A Day in the Life: As a Senior Chemist I in the Makeup Open Development team, your primary responsibilities will include:

Vendor Collaboration & Launch Execution: Work closely with designated vendors to deliver high-performance formulations. You will initiate formula reviews, assure quality and conformity, implement risk mitigation plans, and monitor stability reports.
Technical Integrity & Compliance: Collaborate with vendors' formulation teams and internal Micro, Safety, and Regulatory experts to ensure formulations pass L’Oréal and industry standard tests. Review concepts, formulas, artwork, and documentation for technical accuracy.
Project Leadership: Under minimal supervision, manage multiple projects and timelines for the Urban Decay and NYX brands. You will provide status updates to management and ensure all R&I and Brand requirements are met.
Claims Orchestration: Work with cross-functional teams to objectify data and provide formulation support for claim validation. You will translate results from consumer perception, hydration, and wear studies into actionable business insights.
Strategic Scouting: Identify new raw materials and technologies from both internal labs and external vendors that are suitable for UD’s disruptive product pipeline.
Communication & Ambassadorship: Present technical R&I information to a variety of audiences, including Marketing and vendor partners. You will stay abreast of international regulations affecting product positioning and verbiage.
Process Improvement: Collaborate with the wider Open Development team to lead complex projects that maintain and improve departmental processes or support operational needs.
Mentorship: Provide critical mentorship and training to vendors and support groups to ensure excellence in product quality.

We Are Looking For: A creative problem-solver with a passion for makeup innovation, in addition to:

Education: A minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related science is required.
Experience:
3-5 years of progressive experience in the cosmetics industry with a focus on color cosmetics formulation.
Strong background in all makeup categories: lipstick, foundations, eye makeup, hot pours, emulsions, and suspensions.
Preference for a "hybrid" background combining formulation with Regulatory, Claims, or Product Development expertise.
Skills & Attributes:
Effective communicator (oral and written) able to engage with both technical experts and non-scientific stakeholders.
Proven ability to work under pressure within a matrixed global organization.
Creative problem-solver who can proactively identify and propose technical solutions.
The ability to be onsite, in the office as this is an essential function of the position (required)
Authorization to work in the United States on a full-time, permanent, ongoing basis without the need for legal sponsorship now or in the future (required)
