  1. So while my experience isn’t in cosmetic formulation, I have previously worked in R&D formulation for a biotech company and I just finished a MS (in person) geared towards those wanting to enter the pharmaceutical industry and I’m about to start my PhD in Pharmacology. Normally I’d say just go for the masters where you already have been accepted but in your case I would stick with the 2nd BS in Chemistry UNLESS the online program has a program in which you can do an internship/ they can help secure you one in which case that might be the best option. For R&D positions they are really looking for the hands on experience so internships or research experience outside of your lab classes will be key. But in my experience the online only programs are mostly geared for people already working in the industry and looking to move out of tech roles and into higher positions or already have a science background and are looking for a switch in industries. I would say in your case do the 2nd bachelors and try to get some research experience in a chemistry lab. I disagree with the comment above to do a PharmD. While you can get R&D positions with a PharmD that’s pretty limited to pharmaceutical R&D rather than cosmetics, and especially so if you want to go into formulation work over clinical work. Plus it’s a lot of school and a lot of money and almost every person I know in formulation science whether it be on the pharma side or cosmetics side has some sort of chemistry background so it really wouldn’t give you any advantage.
  2. @CancerBiology I’ll be attending Columbia for my PhD in Pharmacology in the fall ?
