Description
About the Role We are hiring a sharp, research-driven Product R&D / Formulation Expert to innovate new products and improve existing ones for our client's DTC skincare and cosmetics brands. You'll be the engine behind what goes into products, researching ingredients, identifying what's working in the market, and coordinating with suppliers to bring stronger, better formulations to life. What You'll Do Conduct deep market and ingredient research across Amazon, Instagram, beauty communities, and viral/organic products to identify what's working and why. Determine which ingredients drive real results, and decide what to add, strengthen, reduce, or remove. Reformulate and iteratively improve existing products, and innovate entirely new ones. Coordinate directly with suppliers (including in China) via group chats to adjust formulations, add new ingredients, and drive execution, with strong, consistent follow-up. Build a systemized, structured approach to ingredient research and formulation decisions.
