A Product Formulation Technician is a professional who assists in developing and testing new products, particularly in industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. They work under the supervision of scientists or formulation chemists to mix ingredients, follow precise recipes, and conduct quality control tests.
