Hello,
My name is Christer, a Swedish guy studying food science and nutrition at Uppsala University. I have been making hyaluronic acid gels for a couple of years now, for myself and friends only. I find interest in improving formulation and learning more about skin actives, and also the relationship between healthy diet and healthy skin.
Looking forward to many interesting conversations here!
Sincerely,
Christer. -
Hi everyone.
My name is Teejay and I’m from Nigeria. I discovered this forum a few months ago when I became interested in manufacturing hair shampoos.
I don’t have much knowledge about cosmetics and formulation. I’m interested in learning how I can improve my formulation and also sharing with you my experience in the last few months.

Hello everyone!! My name is Sharmon. Thank you for accepting me into the group. I’m in the process of starting my business. I’m also in school for my AS in Chemistry. My business is body butter and I want a formulation that will provide benefits and is all natural. I am here because I need help on how to figure out the amounts of each ingredient to add that will create a well balanced product with “visible” results.

Hi Everyone! Thought I would do a quick post as I have just joined the forum (long time lurker). I’m from Australia and have a passion for skincare. I have done some correspondence study in natural formulation and have been working away at formulating some products for the past year. I am hoping to launch a small skincare line next year. This is such a great place, full of so many knowledgable individuals! Thank you for letting me join the chemist corner community!

Hello! I’m
Italian and I have a degree in Biologic Sciences; I work in plant genetics.I have an hobby: formulating and producing cosmetics for myself and for
some friends. I never sell anything, but I’m always concerned about my
products, because we (I mean “we hobbyist” not professionals)
rarely have access to Technical Data Sheets and we have to rely on the
information we can find in the web, which is often questionable. For example, in
this period I’ve a load of doubts
concerning the best use of the preservatives I employ. When looking around for
something with solid scientific bases I often find this site……so here I am.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge! -

Hi I’m Caroline from the UK,
I started formulating natural skincare products about 2 years ago. I don’t come from a science background, actually I came to formulating rather by chance - a felt wrapped soap of all things.
I’ve been following the recent 30 day to become…podcasts, which I’m enjoying - thanks for sharing your knowledge Perry. I think Chemists Corner is a superb resource and hopefully this will help me become a better formulator, I’m glad I stumbled across it. -
Thanks! Welcome to the forum!

Hello Everyone,
My name is Denise and I am a medical missionary. This is a fantastic forum-thanks for dedicating yourself to this Perry & for accepting me to be a part of this.
I am an intrepid DIY enthusiast (cp & hp soap making, remodeling, woodworking, etc) with the mind set that if they can do it, so can I. For a few years now, I have been making my own personal care products for my own personal use, and I am absolutely obsessed with making my own hair care products! However, I feel there are things that I can learn to enhance the products.
As a missionary, I love to help people that are in need. Doing the best I can to help someone else brings joy to me. Another hobby I have is sewing & making crafts for children.
My goal with this forum is to learn and hopefully this will help to resolve some concerns I have about the products I am currently making. I have learnt so much from reading thus far on this forum & I look forward to the continued enriching experience I will have.

Welcome to the group! We have chemists from around the world. I think there are a couple from Oz.
@Shree_18 - you’ll find talk about “natural” products here but the opinions will be supported by science which is not the case in many other forums that touch on the subject.

Hi everyone!
My name is Emily Anne, new to the cosmetic formulation world. My background is in CO2 reduction using inorganic/organometallic catalysts I synthesized and tested. I learned quickly that a PhD was not the route for me and after receiving my MS in Chemistry (Dec 2017), I am ready to break into the cosmetic industry! I am deep into Perry’s formulating course and hope perusing this forum will help me gain a working knowledge of the field as I look for a entry-level formulation position
