I already own three businesses but am selling one and going in another direction. I stumbled upon an ingredient for skin care that has some amazing properties. I was moving in the direction of anti-aging/wrinkle reduction when I tested it on four adults who just happened to have those cystic type of blemishes. It was more of a "Why not?" thing. Several hours later, the blemishes were almost gone! Quite a shock to all of us.
I now think that I should make this the primary purpose of the product but I need a chemist’s help with a formula for reasons I can’t disclose. From my research, I don’t see where this ingredient has ever been tested or produced for either purpose but as we know, blemishes are a major concern for a lot of people. Just the thought of helping them is exciting!
So how do I find a chemist? And what about the confidentiality aspect? None of my other businesses are in this field at all so I don’t have those kinds of contacts.
Thank you for any help!

Okay well you know how when you go to a corporation they make you sign agreements? I used to work for Discover Card and they made us sign everything. That was their way of protecting themselves. That is what you have to do.
You can ask the chemist to sign a confidentiality agreement. Don’t make them but during the interview process, when you interview your chemists, ask them if they would be comfortable doing that.
Chances are you will get a good candidate who will sign it. Consult a lawyer about it first before you draw up the agreement. As for chemists, you could advertise on websites like monster.com or careerbuilder.com
