Vamayra Global is a future-focused consumer products company building next-generation Indian brands across wellness, lifestyle, and everyday essentials.
For Yadom Life (Yadom Life - Open. Inhale. Reset.), our personal care brand, we are looking for a senior cosmetic chemist to own the technical side of our product development on a retainer basis, until we build an in-house team.
About the role -
Yadom Life is launching Reset, a body care range spanning magnesium recovery, de-tan and bacne care. Three SKUs are currently in development, with manufacturing handled through a contract manufacturer.
You will be the person who decides whether what comes out of the factory is good enough to carry our name.
This is a adaptable engagement. Most of the work can be done remotely, with occasional visits to our Noida office and to the manufacturing site as required.
Responsibilities
- Review and challenge formulations received from our contract manufacturer before approval
- Guide formulation direction for new products, including active selection, pH strategy and stability considerations
- Design and run the testing programme covering stability, microbiology, assay and patch testing
- Brief and manage external labs and CROs, and interpret results
- Confirm ingredient limits under the Cosmetics Rules 2020 and approve the INCI list ahead of label printing
- Approve marketing claims against available substantiation
- Review batch COAs and act as signatory for batch release
Requirements
- B.Pharm, M.Sc Chemistry, or Cosmetic Technology.
- 5+ years in personal care formulation
- Experience at a contract manufacturer, or with a brand that outsources manufacturing, is a strong advantage
- Track record of taking products from brief to shelf, not bench trials alone
- Working knowledge of surfactant systems, AHA/BHA actives, syndet bars and rinse-off formats
- Familiarity with Indian cosmetic regulation and BIS requirements
- Able to explain technical decisions in plain language to a founder, and hold a position with the factory
Engagement - Retainer, 12-month term, renewable. Fee based on experience. Non-exclusive, though we ask for no concurrent engagement with a competing body care brand.
Suits an independent consultant, or a senior formulator with capacity outside their primary role.
