Quarterly webinar series for cosmetic technologists and R&D teams
In the cosmetics industry, regulatory changes are no longer occasional incidents. They have become part of everyday reality.
New restrictions. New interpretations of legislation. Updated requirements. Increasing pressure for safety and transparency.
And in the middle of all this – product development projects with tight timelines and raw material dossiers that “should be sufficient”.
Yet more and more often, they are not.
Not because technologists make mistakes.
But because they operate at the intersection of rapidly evolving regulations, raw material documentation of varying quality, and growing demands from retail chains.
Why was the Technologist’s Compass created?
From our practical experience, many issues in product implementation do not stem from a lack of technological expertise, but from the absence of an operational approach to documentation and regulatory risk.
Reformulations due to a suddenly restricted ingredient.
Questions from the safety assessor about missing data.
A raw material dossier that “was supposed to be complete.”
Inquiries from retail chains about blacklists or specific compliance requirements that are difficult to interpret clearly.
Many technologists still perceive documentation as the sole responsibility of the regulatory department. In practice, however, decisions made at the formulation stage determine the future safety, stability, and compliance of the finished product.
The Technologist’s Compass was created to structure this area and provide R&D teams with practical tools to work confidently in a changing regulatory environment.
What is the Technologist’s Compass?
It is a quarterly series of three webinars designed as a coherent development program for technologists and R&D teams.
This is not a simple regulatory update.
It is a practical framework for rethinking:
-
raw material documentation as a tool for demonstrating legal compliance,
-
assessing dossier completeness before starting formulation work,
-
making regulatory decisions in light of changes (including allergens and CMR substances),
-
risk analysis in product development and reformulation processes,
-
effective collaboration between R&D, safety assessors, and regulatory teams.
Program structure
Three sessions guide participants step by step through key areas:
-
Assessing document completeness and working with raw material documentation
-
Decision-making under regulatory uncertainty
-
CMR substances, allergens, and legal risk in product implementation
The program is designed not only to explain requirements, but above all to give participants greater control over the development process and reduce the risk of costly corrections at later stages.
Who is it for?
The webinars are dedicated to:
-
cosmetic technologists,
-
R&D teams,
-
professionals responsible for formulation and reformulation,
-
specialists cooperating with regulatory departments and safety assessors.
If you want to design products with greater predictability instead of constantly reacting to new regulatory concerns, this program is for you.
First session date: March 17, 2026

We cannot stop regulatory changes.
But we can stop the chaos in how we respond to them.
