About the Opportunity
A fast-scaling innovation-driven consumer healthcare and personal care R&D; company in India, we pioneer next-generation oral care formulations that merge clinical efficacy, sensory appeal, and sustainable chemistry. We’re building toothpaste and oral hygiene products that outperform global benchmarks—in whitening, cavity protection, sensitivity relief, and microbiome balance—with science-backed formulations that delight end-users and win in competitive retail markets.

Role & Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end formulation development for new toothpaste products—from concept ideation to lab-scale prototyping, stability testing, and scale-up readiness.
- Design and validate formulations using active ingredients (fluoride, hydroxyapatite, enzymes, etc.) and functional excipients to meet performance, safety, and regulatory targets.
- Optimize sensory attributes (flavor, texture, foam, aftertaste) while ensuring clinical efficacy in abrasion, remineralization, and enamel protection.
- Collaborate with analytical, regulatory,



and manufacturing teams to translate lab prototypes into compliant, manufacturable, and shelf-secure commercial products.
- Stay ahead of global trends: microbiome-friendly actives, natural surfactants, biodegradable polymers, and AI-assisted predictive formulation modeling.
- Prepare technical dossiers, safety assessments, and patent documentation for new formulations.

Skills & Qualifications
- Must-Have
- PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Cosmetic Science, Chemistry, or Material Science
- Experience in oral care product R&D;—specifically toothpaste, mouthwash, or gel-based dentifrices
- Proficiency in formulation design using rheology modifiers, abrasives, surfactants, and enamel active agents
- Hands-on with stability testing protocols (ICH, USP, ISO), accelerated aging, and challenge testing
- Knowledge of global regulatory standards (FDA, EU, BIS, CDSCO) for oral care products
- Experience with sensory evaluation panels and c
