CleanFormulation is a small, independent, evidence-focused research project. This page transparently lists every person involved in selecting topics, researching ingredients, reviewing content, and ensuring that all published material remains factual, non-medical, ethical, and consumer-safe.
CleanFormulation does not use ghost contributors or anonymous reviewers. Every person listed on this page actively participates in research, writing, editorial review, or quality verification for the project. As the CleanFormulation ingredient database expands, additional formulation scientists and subject-matter specialists may contribute to research and writing. All contributors are transparently listed here along with their role in the editorial process.
Rifat Jalal is the Founder & Independent Ingredient Researcher of CleanFormulation. She holds a BSc in Science with chemistry as a core subject and has practical experience with soaps, detergents, cleansing products, creams, and cosmetic ingredients. She defines research standards, evaluates evidence, reviews all high-impact content, and ensures that published material remains non-medical, neutral, and grounded in verifiable sources.
Dr Misbah Shahid is a chemistry researcher who contributes technical research writing and scientific interpretation for CleanFormulation. She holds a PhD in Chemistry from Sharda University, where her doctoral research examined transition-metal complexes, molecular interaction mechanisms, and structure–activity relationships within chemical systems. Her work supports the accurate explanation of ingredient chemistry and formulation behavior within cleansing product analysis.
Ahmad is responsible for identifying and selecting ingredients, products, and topics suitable for research. He reviews proposed content for duplication, policy violations, aggressive or misleading framing, and ensures that no treatment advice, medical claims, or unsafe recommendations enter the publication process. His role acts as a critical safeguard between research intent and responsible publication.
Tanisha contributes research writing in areas aligned with her strengths and assigned domains. She assists in drafting structured explanations, compiling sources, and presenting complex information clearly. All her work is reviewed and verified before publication to ensure accuracy, neutrality, and consistency with CleanFormulation’s evidence-first standards.
CleanFormulation does not accept payment from brands for editorial content and does not sell or promote products. Any potential conflicts relevant to a specific page are disclosed directly on that page.
Editorial decisions are made internally by the listed team members only. No undisclosed contributors participate in content creation or review.
CleanFormulation may collaborate with formulation scientists, chemistry researchers, and subject-matter specialists as the ingredient database expands. Contributors are credited as authors for the material they write, while final editorial review remains under the CleanFormulation research framework.
