    Hello everyone,

    My name is Tony. I’ve been lurking on the CC forum for a few months while drawing up a one-man foundation makeup business, and am now ready to strike out into formulation. I’ve a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, and a desire for pigmented silicone emulsions, but no experience to speak of. Thanks to the forum-goers for sharing their knowledge, which has been invaluable so far; I hope one day to do the same.

    Hello Everyone,

    My name is Massimo. I’ve been following this forum and chemist corner for a while now and have just plucked up the courage to join. I have lived in the US for the past 20 years, working as an IT professional. I returned to my homeland of Australia a couple of years ago and accidentally found myself working on making a skin lotion (yeah, don’t ask!). In hind site it wasn’t really formulating, the boss had no idea what he was doing, even though he had a Chemistry degree (no offense to anyone). However, I enjoyed it so much that I decided to try and make the lotion for myself and created a formula for personal use. I don’t profess to be a formulator or cosmetic chemist, I just want to learning as much as I can and formulate the right way.

    Hello everyone,

    I’ve been a long time lurker of this forum and thought it was time I got involved.

    I currently work as a formulation chemist for a global FMCG company, with past experience as an analytical chemist.

    My work focuses on new materials - particularly preservative systems - in existing formulations and their effect on stability.

    I look forward to getting involved with you all :)

    I’m Susan, new to the fascinating world of creating cosmetics. I have a medical condition which could possibly be helped with a topical medication. When the compounding pharmacy couldn’t come up with a suitable product right away, I began reading and experimenting on my own.  That lead me to this forum.

    Thank You Perry! I was not a part of the previous forum but i’m glad to be a part of this one, my name is Josh. I’ve worked in the cosmetic industry about 7 years now. I have interest in starting my own few products and could use some specific help in some key information to develop them as i’m not as experienced as everyone else. I’d just like to say, thanks for giving us the time you have to teach us. It’s much appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon.

    Hello all!
    I am Kevin and I am from Australia (of French origins) :)
    I am a material scientist (polymer and polymer chemistry background). I have had to “formulate” a few things in the past in the lab to modify the wicking dynamics of products (but I am not an expert!). Currently I am in the hygiene sector and I am looking at surface chemistry / wicking behaviour of hygiene products. I am here to learn a bit more about formulation in general as I find there is a lot of overlap with what I do (material science / surface science). Great to be part of this community.

    Hello All!

    I’ve been passionate about cosmetic chemistry since I was a young chemistry student. I am working (as a researcher) in a midwestern university (I was born and raised in Italy) on totally unrelated stuff. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that my partner and I started making things at home. We started our journey with soapmaking until I re-discovered the cosmetic chemistry rabbit-hole, and consequently increased expenditures for ingredients. 
    As of now, we do try to keep it as simple as we can and make cleansers and moisturizers, both water-based and anhydrous, for our own personal use… 

    I am looking forward to learning a big deal from the forum (as I already have, in past lurking period).
