Cosmetic Chemist

Do you love makeup or skincare products? Every product that you put on your skin has been carefully tested and created by a team of cosmetic chemists. A cosmetic chemist must use chemistry and their understanding of molecular bonds to make products that are safe to use, do what they say they do, look good, and smell good. Cosmetic chemists work in research labs or in development departments, often for big-time brands. There are different types of cosmetic chemists. Some work in quality control and make sure that the products are up to the standard of the government. Others create new colors or new formulas to be sold to consumers. Cosmetic chemists can formulate anything from shampoo to face masks.
