About the role

We are looking for an R&D Technician who wants to lead their own projects, work in a team where decisions are made based on technical knowledge, and see how their work becomes products that reach the market.

What you'll do

  • Develop and adjust cosmetic formulations in the lab, working with different types of products and textures (gels, emulsions, biphasic products, suspensions, and others).

  • Research raw materials and select ingredients based on your own criteria, according to the objectives of each project.

  • Carry out stability, compatibility, use, and efficacy tests to validate the quality and performance of the developed products.

  • Manufacture prototypes and samples for internal tests, trials, photoshoots, or the needs of the product innovation team.

  • Collaborate directly with the Product Innovation team in defining and evolving projects, not just in their execution.

  • Participate in the processes of transferring to manufacturing, ensuring the correct implementation of established formulas, methods, and parameters.

  • Ensure that developed products comply with the regulations and regulatory standards applicable in the target markets.

  • Prepare and maintain detailed technical documentation, with the level of rigor that allows any team member to reproduce the work.

What you'll get

  • Permanent full-time contract.

  • A stable project with real growth: here we formulate for our own brand, and the impact on the final product is direct.

  • A small but technically demanding R&D team, where the learning curve is fast and each person's judgment carries weight from day one.

  • All the facilities, resources, and tools you need to carry out your work.

  • Free private health insurance for the team, with discounts for family members.

How you'll work

  • On-site position at Freshly Lab, our lab in Reus, right next to our offices, with the possibility of one day of remote work once the role is consolidated.

About the company & team

At Freshly, we choose cosmetics that care, respect, and contribute to a better tomorrow. We bet on natural innovation and on creating experiences that help people look and feel better, staying true to our values and purpose.

We are driven by four values that inspire us in everything we do: Be Accountable, Be Bold, Be Humble, and Be Excellent. We believe in responsibility, courage, humility, and the drive to always do better.

Freshly is in a moment of strong growth, with a clear commitment to product innovation and the development of new formulations.

In this context, the Freshly Lab plays a key role: it is where the products that reach the market are designed, validated, and optimized, with increasingly demanding scientific standards.

If you want to see how we work, this report from the Diari de Tarragona gives a fairly accurate idea of who we are and what the lab is like: Cutting-edge dermocosmetics from Reus.

What will make you stand out?

  • Training in chemistry, pharmacy, biochemistry, or a related field, with a solid scientific foundation and a desire to grow in formulation.

  • Previous professional experience in formulation is not essential. We are looking for junior profiles with potential, curiosity, and a desire to learn, because we have an internal training plan so you can progressively develop the knowledge and experience needed to work autonomously in R&D.

  • Analytical skills and technical judgment to identify why something is not working and propose an alternative before escalating the problem.

  • Rigor in documentation, because in the lab, if it is not written down, it does not exist.

  • Interest in working directly with raw materials, emulsion systems, active ingredients, and texturizers. Experience in cosmetics is a plus, but profiles with a background in pharmaceutical or food formulation also fit well technically.

  • Collaborative mindset and ability to work in a team on projects involving both technical and business profiles.
