Dr Trupti N.
MD|Formulation Scientist|Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Product Development
I am a formulation scientist with an MD in Pharmaceutics, specializing in nutraceuticals, functional foods, cosmetics, herbal products, and regulatory affairs. Over the past several years, I have worked across research, product development, manufacturing, quality systems, and commercialization, helping startups and established companies transform ideas into market-ready products. As the Co-founder of Ashta Wellness Pvt. Ltd., I lead formulation development from concept through pilot manufacturing and scale-up. My work includes functional chocolates, beverages, dietary supplements, herbal formulations, cosmetic products, and innovative wellness products. I have hands-on experience in ingredient selection, prototype development, manufacturing process optimization, stability considerations, documentation, batch manufacturing records, SOP development, and technology transfer. I also work as a Project Scientist at AIIMS Nagpur, where I contribute to ICMR-funded clinical research involving product evaluation, clinical trial documentation, protocol development, regulatory compliance, scientific writing, and evidence generation. This combination of academic research and industrial product development allows me to bridge scientific rigor with commercial practicality. My expertise includes: • Nutraceutical and functional food formulation (FSSAI compliant) • Cosmetic formulation (EU Cosmetics Regulation, CPSR documentation support, PIF preparation, GMP, ingredient compliance) • Herbal and Ayurvedic product development • Prototype formulation and pilot-scale manufacturing • Regulatory documentation (FSSAI, EU, technical dossiers, specifications, SOPs) • Product claims substantiation and literature review • Quality systems, batch manufacturing records, validation documentation • Scientific and medical writing • Clinical trial documentation (ICH-GCP, protocols, CRFs, investigator documents) • Product commercialization strategy and technical consulting Recently, I have been supporting international clients with EU cosmetic regulatory compliance, including ingredient compliance reviews, Product Information File (PIF) preparation, Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) coordination, INCI verification, labeling compliance, Responsible Person documentation, and technical documentation for private-label cosmetic products manufactured outside the European Union. Clients appreciate that I don't simply formulate products—I develop commercially viable solutions with manufacturing feasibility, regulatory compliance, and long-term scalability in mind. Whether you need to launch a nutraceutical, develop a cosmetic formulation, create technical documentation, optimize manufacturing, or navigate regulatory requirements, I bring both scientific depth and practical industry experience to every project. If you're looking for a consultant who understands the complete product development journey—from concept and formulation to compliance and commercialization—I would be happy to discuss your project.
