About the Wellness Shop

We're a fast-growing beauty & personal care brand looking for a Senior Manufacturing Chemist who has been there at every stage — from lab bench to factory floor . If you've formulated, tested, scaled, and commercially launched products across skincare, haircare, and hair removal categories, and know regulatory certifications inside out, we want to talk.

What you'll do

- Lead end-to-end product development — ideation, formulation, lab trials, stability testing, and scale-up to commercial manufacturing
- Own the complete product lifecycle across skincare, haircare, and hair removal categories from concept to shelf
- Manage and supervise factory operations — liaise with contract manufacturers, oversee production batches, and ensure quality consistency at scale
- Drive formulation troubleshooting during scale-up and resolve manufacturing issues on the floor
- Own all product certifications — dermatologically tested, ISO, GMP, cruelty-free, organic certifications, and any applicable regulatory filings
- Set up and manage testing protocols — stability, compatibility, efficacy, safety, and challenge testing
- Evaluate and qualify raw material vendors and contract manufacturing partners
- Build and maintain detailed formulation documentation — BMRs, SOPs, COA reviews, and tech packs
- Work closely with the product, marketing,



and sourcing teams to translate briefs into viable, manufacturable formulations
- Stay current on ingredient innovations, global beauty trends, and evolving regulatory requirements (BIS, EU, FDA, etc.)

What we're looking for

- 10+ years of experience in personal care / cosmetic formulation — skincare, haircare, and hair removal experience is mandatory
- Proven end-to-end track record: from raw material selection and lab development through to commercial-scale manufacturing
- Hands-on factory floor experience — you've supervised production batches, not just passed briefs to manufacturers
- Deep expertise in stability testing, efficacy testing, safety assessments, and HRIPT / dermat testing protocols
- Strong knowledge of certifications — GMP, ISO 22716, BIS, cruelty-free, dermatologically tested, natural/organic claims
- Solid understanding of Indian and international cosmetic regulations (BIS, EU Cosmetics Regulation, US FDA)
- Experience working with CMOs / contract manufacturers and managing the full tech transfer process
- B.Sc / M.Sc in Cosmetic Science, Chemistry, or Pharmacy — additional certifications in cosmetic formulation preferred

Nice to have

- Experience with clean beauty, natural, or Ayurvedic formulations
- Exposure to D2C beauty brand workplace and speed-to-market timelines
- Knowledge of international export compliance for beauty products
- Familiarity with COSMOS, ECOCERT, or other international organic certifications
