Hi All! I’m Antonio.
I’m a medicinal chemist who has worked for years in pharma companies doing synthetic chemistry and some extraction of botanicals.
Now I’m working on a few side projects that require some formulation work and I am realizing how little I know about this whole side of chemistry!!
I am working with a natural pet care company that is making shampoos, moisturizers etc for dogs. They are aiming for whole foods and organic certification so of course ingredient choices are limited making formulation challenging.
I am also working with a medical marijuana company that makes vape cartridges, beverages and all kinds of products. I mostly do the extractions on the plant material but I also help with the edible/smokable product formulations
Found this great forum from google searches and have been reading it and learning lots, hope to learn much more from all of you and to try to contribute whatever I can myself!
