Support the development of innovative skincare products from concept through commercialization.
Prepare compounding laboratory batches by accurately following existing formulations.
Prepare stock solutions, ingredient premixes, and laboratory materials for development projects.
Assist with compounding laboratory batches and evaluating finished products for texture, viscosity, fragrance, appearance, and overall performance.
Work with Compounding to optimize product processing.
Assist with modifying existing formulations to create new product concepts.
Validate and qualify alternate raw material suppliers.
Research and source innovative raw materials and build relationships with ingredient suppliers to stay informed on emerging technologies and innovations.
Assist the internal buyer in purchasing raw materials.
Support raw material qualification and maintain associated documentation.
Perform or coordinate microbiological testing and maintain testing records.
Cross-train in stability testing, maintain stability programs, and evaluate ongoing stability samples.
Create final product specifications and ensure formulation changes are accurately documented in internal systems.
Support and participate in quality investigations, including root cause analysis, formulation troubleshooting, and corrective action implementation, as needed.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Cosmetic Science, Biology, or a related scientific discipline.
1–3 years of laboratory experience preferred (internships or university research considered).
Passion for skincare and cosmetic formulation.
Strong attention to detail and excellent laboratory practices.
Comfortable following detailed procedures while also thinking critically about results.
Excellent organizational and documentation skills.
Ability to prioritize multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Experience working with laboratory equipment preferred.
Familiarity with cosmetic ingredients or formulation is a plus but not required.
Must live within commuting distance of South Portland, Maine or be willing to relocate.

This role is intentionally designed as a career development position.

You'll receive hands-on mentoring in cosmetic formulation, raw material functionality, stability evaluation, manufacturing scale-up, ingredient sourcing, and product troubleshooting.
