It’s not common for a search firm to be retained to identify Personal Care Research Professionals with only 1-3 years of related experience, but that is the target our client wants! Your past R&D work could be in skincare, cosmetics, hair care, or OTC and could involve formulation, regulatory, scale up, or testing. They have found this approach to hiring reduces employee turnover. In fact, this new role of Personal Care Research & Development Scientist was created because of a recent promotion due to very strong sales growth! This could be the work family you have been seeking!

Long known for their superior quality botanical extracts and natural ingredients sold to the Personal Care/Cosmetics industry, this company prides itself on sustainably-sources products.

Do you have an open-minded approach to your work, employ solid scientific principles when solving problems, and have a desire to be part of something special in the industry? This could be the right fit for you! If you prefer a generalist’s day with lots of interaction with overlapping company departments, multiple projects, and autonomy in your work, we want to talk to you!
