How come you ended up working in cosmetic science? Could it have been by accident - like the pharmacist who had a frustrated sister who couldn't attract the attention of the guy she wanted to make an impression on? She asked her brother to make something that would draw the guy's attention to her eyes.He set to work and sure enough,about a year later,she was married.The pharmacist who knew both the inner and outer beauty of his sister must have thought:"If this is what I can do for my sister Maybel with Vaseline,I can do the same for a lot of other women too".And so the Maybelline brand (a fusion of the sister's name and the main ingredient at the time) was born.What made the pharmacist successful was the creative ability to select the right ingredients to get the job done correctly as well as seeing the applicability of his technical success beyond the eyes of his sister.In other words,chemical knowledge plus commercial acumen combined with the drive to make things a success.
