About
The Science Behind the Smile
I'm Jamie Saphow — a flavor scientist who spent over a decade at Colgate-Palmolive developing flavors for global oral care brands, then built ADM's entire oral care flavor business from the ground up, including a dedicated formulation lab.
I've created flavors that passed consumer testing in Australia, reformulated Colgate's global mouthwash line for alcohol-free stability, managed regulatory compliance across four continents, and led cost optimizations that saved over a million dollars a year.
Now I consult independently, helping startups, private label companies, and established brands navigate the complex intersection of flavor science, formulation chemistry, and consumer experience in oral care.
Let's Work Together
Whether you're launching a new oral care brand, troubleshooting a formulation challenge, or looking for expert insight on the competitive landscape — I'd love to hear from you.
