Hi everyone!
My name is Adelina
I come from a completely different field (finance), but I have a passion for cosmetics. In order for me to understand better this filed I’m trying to learn everything from the scratch (starting with chemistry 101) and I want to thank Perry for this website because it helped me a lot so far!I want to thank all member and contributors from this forum, for their great work! I wish I could give back something, to show you my appreciation, but for now, my knowledge is limited, however I hope one day I will be able to help you guys as well!Have a great day!

Hi people,
I’m Mel from New Zealand. I’m currently doing a “special topic” research assignment on cosmetic chemistry for my second year of a Diploma of Beauty and Body Therapy. I think I chose myself a difficult topic here (as usual), as I feel like, so far, I have only just scratched the surface of a rather large and perfectly scented beast in stealth mode!
I have recently discovered the joys (and trials) of formulating my own products (mainly creams at this point), and hope to incorporate them into my salon/spa when I do eventually open it. Preferably I would like to be focused on products for sensitive/reactive skin using botanicals and naturally derived ingredients. I have a feeling I have once again made things difficult for myself!
I apologise in advance if I ask silly, basic, or odd questions. I don’t mean them to be, I just truly want to know more. About everything. That’s why I decided to go back to school as an adult student.
I look forward to sharing with and getting to know you all!
Mel

Bonjour Perry and Chemists!
I’m from Vancouver, BC and I’ve had an online business for over 2 years now. I am going to start featuring a handmade cosmetics collection that will be vegan and cruelty free. I’m aiming to increase the revenue of my business in order to pay for tuition (which is crazy expensive.) Glad to be a part of this forum! Everyone seems so helpful!

Hello Perry, Thank you for the acceptance to this website and forum.
Hello to all @chemistscornerMy Name is Luke Janyszko and I am the owner of a company called Lucid Colour. (& Mafia Pigments)I have been manufacturing and synthesizing colourants for 11 years for many different industries and product types. As I am the only pure colour manufacturer in Australia the requests for colourants for the cosmetics field is has been very strong here for us. Our company has mainly focused in other colour industries and not so much for the cosmetic industries unfortunately. We have manufactured D&C colourants but mainly for the nail polish side of things. We need to be more in touch with the cosmetics world as we are just boring Lab nerds (electrical/chemical engineers/colourant specialists) and we really could learn a lot from all in the cosmetic world.As a libran i believe in fairness, so I am happy to share knowledge and info as much for the info as I can be given or take for myself.Thanks again,Luke. -

Hello everyone.
My name is Roberto Lupini. I work as a development chemist in a factory in Cape Town, South Africa. I started out doing colourmatching in Europe for an Italian textile company. Thereafter I switched over to cosmetics and toiletries. South Africa has a very rich vegetation and Cape Town where I stay is one of the six Floristic regions ie the Cape Floral Kingdom. I am starting to research the use of our indigenous plant material for skin care etc. Drop me a line if there’s anything else you would like to know. Have a great day. Roberto.

Hello, everyone.
My name is Yulia, I am from ON, Canada. I have a MSc in Biology, so there is some lab work experienceI have spent some years working in retail sales of top cosmetic brands, moved slowly to a professional skin care (that cosmeticians use), and ended up with formulating my own skin care products.I am a newbie in the latter with only several months experience, so I apologize in advance for my questions that may sound weird for you. Looking forward to get new ideas, and thank you for approving my request to join this forum!Thanks,Yulia -

Hi everyone!
My name is Azmar. I am from Pahang, Malaysia. I am a MSc student in Pharmaceutical Science. My research involves natural product extraction and natural product formulation. I am using ingredients that are mostly plant-source for my formulation. I am hoping to find formulators or researchers that have similar study or experience using natural ingredients.
Thank you Perry for approving my request to join this forum. I joined your webinar on stability test and it was awesome!
Looking forward for new idea and experience from all of you.
Regards,
Azmar Ahmad -

Hello Everyone!
I am Tamás from Hungary. I am in the cosmetic packaging business for 8 years. In this year I made my own company which deals with contract filling and packaging services. My goal is to offer our services internationally. Next to the packaging service I also would like to make my own cosmetic brand thus I would like to learn more about the cosmetic chemist profession.
I can help everyone who is looking for contract filling service in Europe and feel free to ask me if you would like to learn more about cosmetic packaging. I am a tube expert and if you are not sure which tube is the best for your product or which printing technology etc. I would be more than happy to answer your questions. -

Hi Everyone,
So happy I found this forum. Like many of us, I have been a consumer of skincare my whole life and I am now interested in venturing to the other side. At this moment, my main objective is to learn and offer whatever advice I may possibly have. Eventually I would like to work with organic based skincare products.

Hello everyone, I’m Nancy and I live in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. I work for a small handmade bath and body shop and am eager to source as many of the ingredients we use more locally instead of having everything shipped. Trying to be more sustainable and conscious of the impact all the way down the line. Anybody else working in Mexico?! Looking forward to learning!
