Hello, my background is not chemistry, I have chemistry base from college and loved it but studied foreign languages. I am a drug testing coordinator now and deal with lab and testing PH but not cosmetic. Recently I have enrolled into a program to become a natural cosmetic formulator. I am trying to fill the gaps I do not learn from the program and find other programs I can learn from. I have been formulating for more than 6 months now, pretty new and learning. Joined this forum in seeking help and advice on becoming a professional formulator. My dream is to create my own niacinamide product one day. I love niacinamide and was the first thing I ordered when I started formulating. I have formulated two lotions but can’t get what I am aiming at yet…hopefully I am at the right place!

Hello everyone, my name is C Mack and I don’t have a science background but actually a federal law enforcement type background.
While I have been doing extensive research regarding ingredients I kept coming across this site. Which has been perfect as I’ve been in the process of starting a men’s grooming/beard business for a while now. I enjoy making formulations and learning about cosmetics that I signed up for Chemists Corner Practical Cosmetic Formulating class.I look forward to my continued learning from you all. -

Hello Everyone,
My name is Ryan from U.S.A. I’ve been creating my own formulas since 2012. I started with cold process soap, then moved to lotions, shave soaps, pre-shaves, then aftershaves. I was directed to this forum while watching Perry’s videos. My formulating started by reading and learning all about the ingredients. My interests continue, so I can look forward to formulating different types of products.

Only just now I bother to creep this site and found this secret hiding place. I have ‘no life’ all of the sudden and I am doing this. LOL!
My name is Christopher and I am born and raised in Malaysia. My background is complicated, sophisticated, frustrating. Just another Asian in Asia, I think.To cut the long story short, Malaysia is not one of those countries which are many many years ahead of Malaysia.
If I were to explained it would be a thesis heavily about racism and religious extremism.
In what I am most interested? In context of this site? To learn! The science of skin and stuff that go on skin, of course! At the same time this is my first time learning that men can love to be beautiful too. I think and think again, why should I be startled anyway as there are way more male chefs than female chefs worldwide!
Sharing will come naturally. I am well aware that some people are tight-lipped no matter how expert they already are in a subject matter. In this case is tight-penned and tight-fingered. Stingy.
I can understand that some people think that they best not share if they are not well versed in a particular subject lest they misinform people. Misinformation is destructive, and this I fully agree.
My career and life…ugh. Not much considering where I am and the people I am with. Sounds like an excuse. I can only say so much, one has to convince oneself by being one of us, not as ‘white person’ but yellow skinned, tanned, etc.
Many Westerners either ignore the fact or ignorant that very many Asians actually worship white people. I never fail to have Westerners telling me Asians are soooooo polite, sooooo friendly, sooooo helpful, soooooo cultured. If they were black or non-white skinned they would see the true colours of Asians and then we will have level playing field.
Asians are obsessed with being white. They will do almost anything to have white skin. Whitening products are aplenty. Cancerous or not doesn’t matter as long as they can be white. K-Pop is famous not for their dance/singing but for their white and glossy skin. Korean fans were infuriated when their Korean idols real skin tone was revealed. Angry not with K-Pop lies, makeup, lighting, but infuriated by those people who reveal the truth. Whitewashing is real!

Hello! My name is Nika, and I’m a 10-year experienced Metallurgical Engineer in the Oil & Gas industry in Texas. My interest in formulating comes from the difficulties I’ve had finding products that work and won’t irritate/clog my very reactive skin. My focus right now is creating an oil-based cleanser that’s fragrance free, non-comedogenic, non-stripping/drying, removes makeup and sunscreen, washes away cleanly, and doesn’t leave a tight feeling behind on my skin - it’s a big ask, but hopefully not impossible! I’m not sure where this will take me yet; I know I have a lot to learn, so I plan to stay in the anhydrous world for a while and leave preservation science to the professionals. I look forward to being a part of this community!

Hi! My name is Andy and I have an associate’s degree in pharmaceutical chemistry (I think that would be the equivalent, as I live in Latin America and I’m not sure if there’s a similar training level in the United States). I’ve had a passion for makeup and skincare ever since I can remember and I would love to further my knowledge on the subject. So far I have only experimented with simple skin care formulas like face wash and lotion that I use on myself, to customize my skin care routine. Eventually I would love to create skin care or makeup products for other people as well, but right now I’m happy with making my own products. I absolutely love this forum! It’s helped me solve my beginner mistakes so many times and I’ve gained tons of knowledge from you guys. I haven’t found another forum with so many experienced professionals that are so generous with their time and wisdom! Truly a one of a kind treasure on the internet.(English is not my native language, so I apologize if something I say doesn’t make any sense)x

Hello all. I’m a full time carer and educator with a background in civil engineering. I’ve been making toiletries for a while but becoming more serious about it due to the plastic problem and needing to tailor products to our intolerances and allergies. I’m studying some online courses and hoping to find out how to become a good formulator. Mostly interested in anhydrous products and shampoos/conditioners.

Hello !
I’m Emily. For the past 20years I’ve been into private junior high school administration. I actually head the affairs of the school. My background is accounting.
My interest in cosmetic formulation developed as a result of several reactions I’ve had in using various creams and lotions. I registered for Formula Botanica early this year and School for Natural Skincare late last year, all based in the UK. As I love to broaden my knowledge and skills I registered with Chemist Corner as well hoping to learn more and most probably become a skincare entrepreneur.
I’m happy to be here !

Regards to everyone!

Hello,
my name is Tendo, originally a lawyer now transferring head on into skin and hair care. I live in Uganda (East Africa). I have taken two courses in organic skin care offered by an indie beauty company in the UK and I am looking for anything that would be more challenging in terms of learning.
My foray into cosmetics was driven first by my background, my dad used to make a lye-heavy soap when I was little that was a hit with all those looking to bleach themselves called of all things “Tendo soap”???? then later my children came along with sensitive skins and nothing on the market provided any relief. So 12 years ago I started teaching myself how to diy butters and slowly it has evolved into a thriving little company.I am looking forward to learning from you all and contributing what I have learnt along the way -

thin layer chromatography.In the absence of a “reference standard” quality, the normal
raw material cocamidopropyl-dimethylamine will be sufficient.Could you please help us in this matter or refer us to another source? I am clueless.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your time.
