I plan to do a diploma from the SCS in Cosmetic Science to start me off. If you have any advice or information I’d be very grateful. Thank you!

The Beauty Brains respond:

Heather, how wonderful that you want to enter cosmetic science. This industry, and science based industries in general, need more women. I have always found it amusing/appalling to hear non-make-up wearing, bald men men in our industry blab on about exactly what women want. Ha!

I satisfy this wanting to make a difference by being a product tester for several different company's here on the internet. These sites connect consumers with brands of their interests and send qualifying members free product(s) to try! The brands benefit from.

We often get asked this and similar questions about becoming a cosmetic scientist on the Beauty Brains so we’ll provide a general answer here. Hopefully, some of this information helps you.

Key Moves to Become a Cosmetic Scientist

1. Get a science degree. Unless you have a relative who started the company, you will need a college degree in science since most cosmetic firms require it. Preferred ones include degrees in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering. However, plenty of scientists in our industry have Biology, Microbiology, and even Physics degrees. The specific college or Uni that you attend is less important than which degree you received.

2. Consider getting an advanced degree. True, a 4-year college degree is all you need, but you can improve your chances of breaking into cosmetics by getting an advanced degree. Your involvement with the SCS is a great start in the UK. In the United States, there are only a few advanced degrees offered. These include places like the University of Cincinnati, St. John’s University, Rutgers University, University of Southern California, etc. Check the college’s Pharmacy departments for more information. You can contact the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) for a complete list. In addition to getting something good for putting on your resume, you’ll get invaluable experience making cosmetic products & meet some great people.

3. Find the companies where you’d like to work. This industry has thousands of companies that employ cosmetic chemists. Where do you find them? If you like, internet searches work, but you can also search trade magazines like Happi or GCI. In GCI, your search can be done by region of the US or world. Of course, you can also look at what company makes a product you like and Google their contact information to inquire about jobs.

4. Figure out what job you want. Speaking of jobs, many different different ones exist in the cosmetic industry for scientists. If you actually want to make formulas, you’ll want a formulating job. People who enjoyed experiments in Organic Chemistry might like these jobs. If you were more interested in Analytical Chemistry than you’ll want to find a job in an analytical lab. You can also find jobs in microbiology, perfumery, and quality control. For chemical engineers, your job search can lead you to process engineering which requires you to figure out how you might scale 1kg batches up to 10,000 kg tanks. Finally, if all else fails you can get a sales job. Raw material suppliers always look for people with technical backgrounds who can sell product. Personally, I think formulating jobs rule!

5. Find a temporary assignment. If it is too difficult to break directly into the industry, you might try finding a job through a temp agency. These companies can place you at big cosmetic companies like P&G or Unilever for a short or longer term assignment. Many people get hired on permanently at companies after starting as a temp.

6. Network with other cosmetic chemists. If you really want to step ahead of the other cosmetic science job seekers, strike up relationships with other scientists that already work on cosmetics. The most popular US association is the SCC and in the UK it is the SCS. For other countries you can contact the IFSCC to find out your local organization. The SCC has chapters throughout the US and you can often visit a monthly meeting for free. There you can meet the most famous cosmetic chemist. If you prefer computers, look on LinkedIn, Facebook or MySpace for chemists who list their affiliation. You can even join our Beauty Brains Forum and get connected with other cosmetic chemists.

Cosmetic science is a rewarding career which enables you to create and use almost any cosmetic or personal care product you want. Better living through chemistry. I love it!

I love product testing!

Not only do you get free stuff, but you also get to voice your opinion and actually help shape the future of the product you are testing.

I have talked about product testing items for free for a few big companies before, mainly Nike and Under Armour.

But I have been getting emails from a few of our readers who are interested in becoming a product tester for the tech giant, Apple.

Getting a free Apple watch just for testing it sounds great!

But are there actually Apple product testing jobs available?

Yes, there are!

I did some digging and found out Apple normally has two different product testing opportunities:

  1. Apple hardware product testing
  2. Apple software product testing

1. Apple Hardware Product Testing

Apple hardware includes the physical products many of us love and spend a lot of our hard-earned money on.

Things like:

  • Apple watch
  • iPhone
  • iPad
  • etc.

So can you get an Apple product, say an Apple iPhone, for free as a tester?

Yes, you can!

But…

That YOU is normally an Apple employee, or (according to a thread on Apple forum) people living within the Cupertino area (Apple’s headquarters).

So, if you don’t belong to any of these two groups, it seems like you are out of luck when it comes to testing any physical Apple devices, at least for now.

2. Apple Software Product Testing (Apple Seed)

The good news is that Apple’s software testing program is open to all.

The program is known as the Apple Seed.

Obviously, we are talking about software, so you won’t be getting any physical product.

You will be testing pre-release software products on your devices, like the software used in your iPhone.

Requirements

There are a few requirements for joining the Apple Seed program.

How To Become Software Tester

Here are the requirements according to the company:

Earn $5 Over & Over!Install the free SavvyConnect app on your phone, tablet & desktop and earn $5 per device each month! It can not get any easier than that!

Complete a profile

In order to select the right people to become testers, the company needs some background info about you, your interests, and your computing environment. So you’ll have to complete your profile.

Customer Seed and Confidentiality Agreement

Since pre-release software is considered Apple confidential property, as a participant you have to view and acknowledge the agreement in order to be considered.

Be selected

Based on your profile info and “the needs of the product engineering team” they will select participants. The company doesn’t guarantee that everyone who applies will be accepted.

Provide Apple with your feedback

Once you are in, you will have to provide feedback on every single product you are given to test. You’ll be asked to “complete engineering questionnaires, fill out bug reports, enhancement requests, and participate in online discussion.”

The application for Apple Product Testing

The application process is actually very easy and quick.

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Step 1: Visit https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/welcome and sign up to join the Apple Seed program.
  • Step 2: Sign up with your AppleID.
  • Step 3: Wait to hear back from the company.

Keep in mind that signing up doesn’t mean you are in. This only gets you into the door where you MIGHT be considered for the actual testing. If they want you, they will send you an invitation.

Apple Seed invitation

While researching for this post, I noticed a lot of people were asking whether or not they can do anything to increase their chances of being invited to the program.

I did some research, but it seems like there isn’t much you can do. It’s not clear how the company chooses who to invite.

That said, based on the comments and reviews I read on Apple’s official form, you MIGHT increase your chances of being invited by being an active and helpful member of the forum itself.

Beyond that, there isn’t much you can do to get invited.

Apple Beta Software Program

Now, the company has another program known as the Apple Beta Software Program.

According to the company:

“Help make the next releases of iOS, macOS, and tvOS our best yet. As a member of the Apple Beta Software Program, you can take part in shaping Apple software by test-driving pre-release versions and letting us know what you think.”

Other product testing opportunities

If you are not selected, don’t worry about it. There are plenty of other companies that let you test products and keep ’em for free.

Here are a few to get you started:

  • Become a shoe product tester (7 companies)
  • Get free makeup as a beauty product tester (22 companies)

I would love to hear your thoughts.
