As a cosmetic chemist who is pursuing her masters and working simultaneously….this video was so much similar to my schedule lol. Also receiving new samples is the best part….i always get excited over it….to try them in diff formulations.

I appreciated you explaining the ingredients in your skin care routine and loved seeing what you do at work! Honestly it could make high quality study content.

I would love to do a zoom 1 on 1 with how you started and what to do, I’m currently in the medical field and I was for a surgeon but I want to get into cosmetic chemistry!

I am looking for a video explaining cosmetic safety. It's really hard to find. Many brands are marketed as "safe brands". I'm wondering if all cosmetics are safe or if some are better than others.

[clarissep.]

hi! this may seem like a weird question but how’s your work culture? do you get to interact with other coworkers/people throughout the day or is it a pretty independent job?

[clary]

are the society of cosmetic chemist chapters available for the public? The hair information seem interesting. Also such a relaxing video.

[behappyforever]

It was an amazing video
I really love chemistry but I don't know much about it jobs and next year I gotta chose what I'm gonna study at university
I'll very grateful if you would introduce it to us

I will be making formulation for hyperpigmentation where i will be using, rice, tomato 🍅 and potato as active ingredient.
Using microspheres technology.
The dosage form will be in aerosol, stick. Mainly waterless stick.

How does it sound. Please tell. 🙏

I just found your channel and I love it! I'm also interested in becoming a cosmetic chemist, what school / program are you in? (you said University of Sensetti? master program; can't pick that up lol) Can you recommend some other programs?

[wendyhughes]

My daughter is currently in high school and is interested in becoming a Cosmetic Chemist. How would you recommend she find one to job shadow?

Hi! I have reached out to a couple makeup chemists, and haven't heard back, so my search continues lol. Im looking to create a liquid binder to help press my broken eyeshadows. The popular one at the moment is the Fixy spray... But it literally consists of two products. The ingredients are isopropyl alcohol and cyclomethicone. I don't want to ruin any shadows if possible so figured I'd come to you to ask your opinion! ❤️ Do you think using alcohol and cyclomethicone is a good option, or isopropyl Myristate? Or am I crazy and should use something else? Annnnd last question... Any idea on the ratio I should use? I plan on filling up at least a 2 ounce bottle with whatever mixture I decide to use. Any help would be amazing!! ❤️

i just graduated with a BS in chem can i ask how you got ur job? or how you got into it? like did you study cosmetics in any way? I want to go into the cosmetic chemistry industry too thank you!!

Hi! I am currently a QA chemistry working for a year but am considering going into Cosmetic Chemistry! I have my bachelors in just Chemistry. Most positions I see require experience in formulation or a background in cosmetics, do you think this is a major preference?- I was also looking at maybe doing my masters in cosmetic but wondering if that will make huge difference in moving up in the field?
