"Ever felt a burning passion within, only to be told by friends and family, who’ve never walked your path, that it’s just a fleeting dream? 🌟 I've been there. As a young dreamer, I yearned to be a makeup artist, but life had other plans. To align with my family’s expectations, I pursued a Master’s in Chemistry, analyzing vitamin C in juices for Dole Foods by day, while living my makeup artist dreams in a department store by night. 🎓💄 But you know what? Just being a food chemist wasn’t enough for my soul. So, I took a daring leap, leaving a well-paying job to chase my true calling in the beauty world. It was no easy journey—knocking on doors, and facing rejections, until finally, I landed my first gig as a cosmetic chemist. 🚪❤️ This is more than my story; it’s a call to you. Don’t let your passion flicker out. If your heart beats for the #beauty world, I’m here to guide you. Start with a small, yet significant step: a consulting call with me. Let’s unlock the doors to your dreams together. 🗝️✨ Your passion deserves to be pursued. And I promise, our 5-star rated conversation will be the first step towards a future you’ve always dreamed of. DMs are open - let’s make magic happen! ✨💌 #FollowYourDreams #BeautyCareer" #cosmeticchemist #Indiebeautybrand #beautybrandfounder #beautyinnovator

Trainee perfumer: I like how Evernyl smells. What is its right percentage in formulation? A: Don't worry, there are no fixed right percentages. Q: Mmm, is 2% Evernyl the right %? A: I don't know (it depends), Baccarat Rouge contains 10%+ Evernyl, and it's a best-seller. Q: Does that mean that Evernyl's right percentage is 10%? A: For sure, no! The right % depends on your formula goals and your nose. If adding material X at 1% gave you the effect you need (so it's the right %), and if adding it at 50% gave you the effect you need (this will be the right %). So don't overthink percentages. Let your nose decide. I'm with "the Average Percentage" (especially for trainee perfumers). 0.5-2% Habanolide 0.2-1% Cardamom oil Can suit many types of formulas. But 7% Diacetyl 4% Acetoin Will be awful, whatever your goal is. The only thing you want to understand is: the impact of materials. Birch Tar Oil, Acetoin & Diacetyl (high-impact materials): "You don't need a lot to get their effects (even if you want their smell to be dominant in the formula)." But Iso E Super, Galaxolide & Benzyl Salicylate (low-impact materials): "You can dose them in high levels without ruining the formula direction." Again, the right % depends on your formula goals and your nose. So forget about the right percentage, and if you are a beginner, focus on the average percentage, which you can learn through reading formulas developed by other experienced perfumers (you can find them here: https://lnkd.in/dPka9dZt). And don't forget: practice makes perfect, not reading or listening only. Creating a unique fragrance often means breaking the rules for using the known average percentage for a dominant material in the formula (or multiple materials). But how can you achieve this before understanding the fundamentals and knowing the average percentages first? So, if you are a beginner, don't focus on being creative. You won't be, but focus on understanding the basics, which will make you creative more quickly. 👇✨ Get more tips like these in my free newsletter. Write 'PA' in the comments, and I will add you. 👇

I am in Perfumery Industry working as a technical perfumer for last 22 years and before that for 10 years was helping my father in his workshops and taking couple of lectures. Now regularly teaching perfumery and cosmetic application of fragrances, therapeutic applications of natural oils, talking to youngsters. At my last lecture, I was told student's feedback, madam told one can start business, once you know your product well, are sure of the quality and have real good marketing skills to use right descriptions. Was contemplating about this lecture and last few. I had suggested them to get base of products made from a good supplier, go for non skin contact products like shampoo, hand wash. If you are a group, buy together. 93 to 95 % is base, up to 1% is fragrance and remaining is your skill to do value addition to your product. Do good packing, use your product to gift your friends initially or conduct a few expts as project and you can expand the concept further. Youngsters, still students, found this concept very interesting and I felt happy about it. All reactions: 46 Kapil Ranade, Norma D McDonald and 44 others

How to Choose Perfume Properly

The Day I Became an Amateur Chemist! So, I recently had a meeting with our chemist to discuss the ingredients in our soon-to-launch skincare product. Let me tell you, it felt like I was back in school learning a new language! 😅 Our chemist was throwing around names like "niacinamide," "hyaluronic acid," and "peptides," and I was just there, nodding like, "Yes, of course, I've heard of...whatever you just said." Imagine trying to keep up with terms like "niacinamide" and "hyaluronic acid" when the most complicated thing I usually deal with is deciding between a latte or a cappuccino. But as challenging as it was, it was also incredibly exciting! It’s crucial for us as sellers to truly understand our products, not just to make a profit, Understanding the ingredients isn't just about knowing what goes into the bottle; it's about being able to educate our customers and ensure we're providing safe, effective products. In Malaysia, the skincare market is a bit of a minefield. People often go for products that promise quick results, but those can sometimes contain harmful ingredients. We have a big responsibility to change this narrative and promote safe skincare practices. So, here's to learning new things, embracing challenges, and making sure we offer nothing but the best. #SkincareJourney #NewIndustryAdventures #LearningAndGrowing #ProductKnowledge #CustomerEducation
