  • Average cost of a Freelance Professional Formulating Chemist?

    Posted by QuestforCoconut on November 20, 2020 at 1:22 am
    Hey guys,
    I know there’s a ton of variables like experience/amount of hours, but is there an average amount that one would expect to pay a Freelance Professional Formulating Chemist for completing development on a unique product (e.g. a liquid handsoap formula)?
    Thanks!

    That depends on what you are having them do.
    Some will charge you $500 for a formula but that won’t include testing, scale up, etc.
