  • Provide guidance on cosmetic claims, ensuring proper wording on product labels and websites, and deliver training to relevant teams.
  • Regularly review company websites to ensure content aligns with country‑specific regulatory standards.
  • Ensure the availability and accuracy of all product information for SKUs, including PIFs, Certificates of Analysis, RM Data and Test Reports.
  • Assist with market entry and expansion efforts by compiling registration dossiers and maintaining relationships with a network of agents.
  • Track and collaborate with Customer Services to investigate and escalate consumer complaints as necessary.
  • Liaise with external bodies, including regulatory authorities, certification bodies and third‑party consultants, to facilitate compliance and product approvals.
  • Proactively identify potential regulatory/compliance issues and work with senior team members to reduce or eradicate their impact.
  • Keep up to date with evolving regulations and standards in key territories and communicate changes to relevant teams.
  • Maintain a comprehensive suite of applicable regulations and guidance.

What skills and experience do I need for this role?

  • Honours degree in Cosmetic Science or a relevant life science such as chemistry, biochemistry or biology.
  • Strong understanding of regulatory frameworks for cosmetics, including labelling, advertising and retail standards for skincare, haircare, body care and colour cosmetics.

  • Excellent attention to detail, communication and time‑management skills.
  • Proficiency in IT tools such as email, Excel and Word.
