Meet the Team

Cosmetics Europe legal department ensures the overall legal compliance of the activities of Cosmetics Europe.

In addition, it provides legal analysis for the topics on which the association actively engages (EU regulated areas), and is part of the advocacy teams working on specific topics.

Finally, the legal department provides legal support to all ingredients defence consortia managed by Cosmetics Europe.

The Public Affairs & Communications department provides specialist integrated public affairs knowledge and expertise in full partnership with the CE team and our members. Our goal is to make a positive impact for the cosmetics and personal care industry in the EU external political, policy, legislative and stakeholder environment, and to contribute to the achievement of building trustworthiness and enhancing reputation.

Communication has a key role in ensuring integrated strategic communications with our stakeholders to achieve Cosmetics Europe’s mission. In order to do this, our team proactively manages relationships and works towards providing effective integrated and targeted communications across various contexts, channels and media.

The Resources and Services department provides specialist knowledge and expertise in the fields of Finances, IT and Office Management. Our goal is to offer the optimal professional support to the overall CE team and to the Cosmetics Europe Membership.

The Cosmetics Europe Science & Research (S&R) department manages the Alternative Animal Testing (AAT) research programmes undertaken jointly by CE members.

In addition, the S&R department manages the industry’s position and activities on existing and emerging health and environment concerns related to products or ingredients.

The Technical Regulatory department operates at the interface between the EU legal texts and their implementation into practice by the industry. Whilst the main focus is on the EU Cosmetics Regulation (1223/2009), other laws that impact our industry operations are also covered.

The scientific and technical input of Cosmetics Europe is a key contribution in the European regulatory process.
Increasingly, Cosmetics Europe technical regulatory staff also represents the interests of its members throughout the world through the promotion of global regulatory compatibility and the removal of technical trade barriers.
