Hello, I currently work as a technologist for a fragrance house, and my manager is giving me a chance to formulate personal care products for our lab. The problem is that sometimes, formulating takes a backseat to my primary job, and before I know it, a month has passed. I graduated w/ a MS in Cosmetic Science, but I still need to expand my knowledge on the chemistry on the raw materials. Anyone have any advice? Should I continue this “trial” track on formulating at work, or find a chemist position somewhere else? A lot of places are looking for more experienced formulators, and it can be pretty hard to find a place willing to take a chance on an entry level formulator.
Thanks!!!
