Dear Mr. Lim,
I am excited to apply for the Formulary Chemist role at Unilever Singapore. As a chemical engineer with 5 years of experience in R&D formulation for consumer goods, I am eager to contribute my expertise in developing sustainable, high-performance products to support Unilever's mission of creating a more sustainable future.
At Singapore-based company Sinochem, I led the development of a new hair care formula that achieved a 30% improvement in performance metrics compared to market-leading benchmarks. My team's collaborative approach to cross-functional prototyping reduced time-to-market by 20% while maintaining full compliance with Singapore's Health Sciences Authority (HSA) regulations. In a prior role at OCBC Bank's corporate sustainability division, I optimized three personal care formulations to reduce environmental impact by 15% through solvent recovery systems and biodegradable excipients.
Unilever's commitment to innovation through sustainable chemistry deeply aligns with my career focus on eco-friendly formulation science. My recent work on a plant-based hand sanitizer formulation for DBS Bank's CSR initiative demonstrated the ability to balance commercial requirements with environmental stewardship - a value system I believe is central to Unilever's 'Living Well' brand philosophy. I am particularly drawn to the opportunity to apply Singapore's chemical innovation ecosystem to real-world consumer challenges.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my technical background in physical chemistry, combined with my track record of delivering cost-effective formulations with 20%+ margin improvements, aligns with Unilever's product development goals. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to potentially contributing to Unilever's legacy of scientific excellence.
Sincerely,
Tan Wei Liang
