I’m developing a professional-grade hair treatment/serum focused on visible strengthening and breakage reduction. I already have a clear market position and brand story; what I need now is an experienced cosmetic chemist or cosmetologist who can translate that vision into a safe, stable and scalable formula. Here’s what I’m after: • A science-backed leave-in or rinse-out serum formula specifically targeting hair-shaft reinforcement (strengthening is non-negotiable; moisture and detangling can be supporting claims only if they help performance). • Full ingredient listing with INCI names, recommended percentages, preservation system and pH guidelines. • Small-batch lab method the manufacturer can replicate, including heating/cooling phases, shear requirements and any critical control points. • Brief stability and compatibility roadmap so we know how to test viscosity, color and fragrance drift over time. I’ll supply brand positioning, texture preferences and any excluded ingredients the moment we start. You’ll advise on actives—whether plant peptides, amino acids, ceramides, or bond-building molecules—and help me balance efficacy with cost. If you’ve taken a haircare product from concept to pilot before, especially a strengthening serum, I’d love to see a short portfolio note or INCI deck you authored. Looking forward to collaborating and getting this formula bench-ready soon.

Dear Sir/Madam I am a chemist from Zimbabwe and holds B.Sc. Chemistry and Biochemistry as well as M.Sc. Chemistry. I would like to be part of your project in hair care. I have experience manufacturing personal care products and I have formulations for hair shampoo. Lactic acid helps relax and smooth down the cuticles of the hair, helping seal in moisture while making hair more manageable and less frizzy. Lemon has citric acid which lowers pH to about 2 and 3. Aloe vera, panthenol, and vegetable glycerine are humectants as well as lubricants and pH balancing agents. They also improve hair texture. BTMS-25 (Behentrimonium methosulfate and Cetearyl alcohol) is an emulsifier that is naturally obtained from grapeseed oil. Wheat protein fills up porous strands and gives it more structure and moisture retention properties. Plant extracts can be used for hair conditioning and they include chamomile, cucumber, onion and green tea. Potassium sorbate is used as a preservative and the surfactant is usually coco-glucoside. Yours faithfully Brian Chiunye

I specialize in developing safe, stable, and scalable haircare formulas with a focus on performance. I can create a science-backed leave-in or rinse-out serum targeting hair-strengthening and breakage reduction, selecting effective actives like amino acids, ceramides, or bond-building molecules while balancing cost and stability. You’ll receive a complete INCI list with recommended percentages, preservation system, pH guidelines, small-batch lab method, and a brief stability roadmap for viscosity, color, and fragrance. My goal is to deliver a bench-ready formula your manufacturer can replicate confidently.
