Bozchemist  I agree that conflicts should be resolved privately and numerous attempts were made to do this all to no avail. This was not a disagreement over formulas, samples, ingredients, cost, timelines  etc. this was fraud.  This individual was paid in full and delivered no samples or formulas. He took the money and disappeared.  

While I appreciate your offer to evaluate a product brief, after this experience I’m now only working with people I know personally or are recommended by trustworthy sources. 

I won’t post further on this but having the information out there so other people can avoid this fraud is a measure of justice.

I contacted certain individuals privately about his person and my experience many months ago.  And frankly I’m distressed that there are people who continue to try to dismiss, minimize or explain away these allegations.

Hi

I can assure you as far as my case is concerned nothing is exaggerated or false and I would welcome an opportunity to meet this person in a court of law if he were ever to accuse me of libel or slander. I have the NDA, contract, emails, and cashed check  to verify my story.  I also contacted two professional organization to see if he was a member as he claimed to be.  They both confirmed he was not a member or associated with them.  I have those emails as well.  And of course I have no formulas.  Every effort was made to find an appropriate resolution short of legal action. As I live in another state and the sum of money is less than 5K a lawsuit and recovering a judgement would likely be in vain.  It is very difficult to find a resolution when the individual does not return phone calls and emails. This individual on preys on small scale formulators and skin care entrepreneurs and uses sites like this to legitimize themselves.  My intention in posting this is save other people from being defrauded like I was.

I’m almost certain I was defrauded by the same “cosmetic chemist”.

Picture of him in a lab coat, impressive fabricated credentials, posts regularly on numerous

skin care formulating groups, blogs etc.  Takes your money and delivers no formulas and

does not respond to countless emails and phone calls.  He preys on small scale formulators and skincare entrepreneurs. I would welcome an opportunity to speak with anyone who has been a victim of this fraud
