Currently serving as an R&D Chemist at Cosway Company where I conduct formulation development and stability testing for innovative personal care products. My expertise includes evaluating raw materials, enhancing product performance, shade matching color cosmetics, and developing environmentally sustainable alternatives. I pride myself on my collaborative approach, working effectively with cross-functional teams including Marketing, Manufacturing, and Regulatory departments to bring new products from concept to market. Experienced in troubleshooting formulation challenges and optimizing costs while maintaining product integrity.
