Hi!
I'm currently a student who wants to work in the cosmetic chemistry field - more focused on product management and formulation in the R&D department. Would working as a medical assistant at a cosmetic medical spa be helpful in terms of experience? I'm trying to get as much experience and connections as I can get before continuing onto my masters.
Thank you so much! Have a great day!

Certainly if you are an esthetician that would be useful experience as a grounding for cosmetic chemistry & formulating. What are you currently studying?
Getting a job with a contract manufacturer would be even better to get some experience and then going on to a Masters degree in Cosmetic Chemistry.

Working as some kind of lab tech or qc position will help but is more standard route. Most places appreciate having an R&D person who can reliably interface with clients and help sell so a spa position might work to your advantage there.
Contract manufacturing stops for nothing, pandemic or not from my experience. Get on Linkedin if you aren't already and look for formulation chemist positions to find companies would be my suggestion.
