We are looking for an experienced, practical Cosmetic Laboratory & Regulatory Technologist to work across formulation, testing, manufacturing support and product compliance. This is not a desk-only regulatory role. You will make and assess batches, run tests and panels, support production, maintain technical and compliance records, and speak directly with private-label clients about their products and regulatory requirements.

Refine, troubleshoot and evaluate formulas, ingredients, processing methods and batch characteristics using structured technical records.
Assess appearance, odour, colour, pH, viscosity, density, homogeneity, application and other relevant product characteristics.
Testing, Evaluation & Product Panels (20%)Plan and run stability, compatibility, performance, and product evaluation programmes, recording results clearly and consistently.
Organise and assess structured professional or consumer product panels, capturing useful feedback and translating findings into technical actions.
Coordinate microbiological, challenge, analytical and specialist external testing where required.
Manufacturing, Scale-Up & Troubleshooting (15%)Support scale-up from laboratory and pilot batches into reliable commercial production.
Investigate batch variation, technical complaints and unexpected results using evidence and structured records.
Work with production and quality teams to ensure formulas, methods and specifications are practical and consistently followed.
Regulatory & Product Compliance (20%)Maintain day-to-day compliance across our own-brand, private-label and OEM cosmetic portfolios in the UK and EU.
Review INCI, labels, artwork, claims, warnings, product files and relevant notification information.
Coordinate information with safety assessors, Responsible Persons, laboratories, and suppliers, and track actions through to completion.
Private-Label Client Technical Support (10%)Speak directly with private-label and OEM clients about formulas, testing, artwork, claims and compliance requirements.
Explain technical and regulatory requirements clearly so clients know what is needed to keep projects moving.
Support customer handovers and product changes with clear records of technical decisions and approvals.
Quality Systems & GMP (10%)Support cosmetic GMP, change control, deviations, CAPA, complaints, audits and retained-sample controls.
Maintain disciplined technical document control and ensure current approved information is used.
Help investigate recurring technical or quality issues and follow through on corrective actions to closure.
Technical Records & Continuous Improvement (10%)Maintain formulas, specifications, manufacturing instructions, batch records, test reports, product files and trackers.
Use test results and manufacturing feedback to improve formulas, processes and controls.
