About Priscilla Taylor

Priscilla Taylor joined Prospector in May, 2013 as an expert in personal care and cosmetics. In this role, she provides invaluable insight by consulting on all matters related to the industry. Her significant contributions to site optimizations and ingredient classifications enhance user experience on ULProspector.com.

Priscilla’s expertise was developed during her 21 years as a product development professional. She began her career in the 90’s at Helene-Curtis Industries in Chicago, where she discovered her passion for putting a product together from concept to completion. When Helene-Curtis was purchased by industry giant Unilever in 1996, Priscilla was promoted to Senior Product Development Manager. She had the privilege of working with global teams to develop and launch products both domestically and worldwide for many popular brands, including Dove and Suave.

Concurrent to her work at Prospector, Priscilla is a Product Development Chemist with Bria Research Labs. She is actively involved in formulating for a diverse array of clients. While she mostly formulates personal care and cosmetics products, she has also had the opportunity to work on projects for the household, industrial and institutional cleaners industry.

Priscilla was born and raised in Trinidad, West Indies, but she considers Chicago her adopted hometown. She lives there with her daughter, Jessica, and her Dachshund, Peanut, who assist her with her favorite pastime: cheering on Chicago’s famed sports teams.
