-Stability testing of personal care products-Prototyping of products using existing and alternative Raw Material that will be subject for stability testing-Develop new formulations for different personal care products (especially oral care, baby care and feminine wash)-Formulate product prototypes and evaluate their physico-chemical properties, efficacy and stability-Improve current formulations of products when needed (Reformulation to Cost Saving Projects)-Prepare and provide sample for panel test and quality assurance test-Establish product specification based on stability data-Support scale up from laboratory prototype to commercial manufacture -Internal Quality Auditor-Laboratory Management-Validation of scale up products both dry and liquid cosmetics

• Stability testing of Finished product using alternative raw materials, change in packaging, near to expire raw material, problematic product during compounding and raw material stuck in customs to reflect the Shelf life in Master list• Stability testing of prototype samples using near to expire raw materials subject for deviation• Preservative Challenge Test of new product development and existing Finished Good• One of the panelist in sensory evaluation of Finished Good, Finished Ingredient and prototype samples• Representative on irritation test of problematic product during compounding• Special projects:◦ Handles Skin Analyzer for new claims.◦ Conducts Irritation Test of Finished Goods.• Yearly disposal of FG's and prototype sample's and PCT samples in retention area (need to consolidate)• Competent in qualifying natural raw material that will be used in production by means of checking and reviewing the COA, MSDS, Certificate of Naturalness, RSPO certificate, INCI name, EINECS number and etc..• Helps sourcing respondents for products that needs to do usage test

Analytical testing (Instrumentation, Titration, and physical testing of Raw Ingredients).Knowledge on Instrumentation: Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, UV-Visible Spectroscopy (using USP and APAM's methodologyWith background in LIMSSegragation of reagents for disposalTitration: Rancity Testing (Acid Value, Peroxide value, Hydroxyl Value, Iodine Value, Saponification Value and other types of Assay titration methods)Physical Testing: (Appearance, Color, and Odor)Fragrances: (Specific Gravity, Color Refractive index, Odor and Appearance)Responsible in monitoring of regulated chemicals such as PDEA and PNP regulated.Knowledgable in LIMS
