Head of Customer Experience

Formulate is building the technology platform redefining how personal care products are designed, manufactured, and delivered. We believe the era of mass-produced, one-size-fits-all skin and hair care is coming to an end.

We are leading the shift toward a new chemist-to-consumer model - where expert formulation, intelligent software, and advanced manufacturing come together to create products tailored to real people. By connecting formulation science directly to the end user, we are changing not only how products are made, but how they are discovered, customized, and purchased.

We're building the platform powering a new movement - one that replaces mass production with precision creation.
