Chemist
After graduation I started work for a cosmetics manufacturer.
At the beginning my role comprised of product & quality management, as well as production management, but was later broadened to include the function of Safety Assessor.
As Product and Production Manager I developed and supervised the manufacture of cosmetic products according to customer specifications, taking into consideration stability, safety and compliance to legal provisions and guidelines, including its certifications.
Besides the regulatory grading of consumer-oriented products and safety evaluations of cosmetic products, I was responsible for the clarification of borderline cases in the areas of food, medicine, medical products and biocides.
Since 2011 I have been working as a self-employed Safety Assessor and Consultant, supporting my customers in implementing the EU guidelines of the European Regulation on Cosmetic Products (such as the Product Information File (PIF) and notification of the CPNP) into practice, whilst also assisting with the communication with relevant authorities, suppliers and laboratories. Regular further education (such as IKW/DGK) keep me technically up-to-date.
I enjoy being creative, developing solutions following the regulatory framework without losing the direct contact to my customers.
Cosmetologist
Through my studies in Biology and Cosmetology (Faculty of Health Science) I have gained comprehensive knowledge in the fields of cosmetology, skin physiology, dermatology and general human biology.
I applied the theoretical knowledge acquired at university at a company for medical skin care as Product and Project Manager.
My tasks included the preparation of product concepts, development of claims according to legal frameworks (Regulatory Affairs), planning and compilation of market development concepts, consultation of private label customers regarding regulatory affairs, product placement, wording for product-specific components, consulting regarding product-specific end-user concerns, as well as preparation, coordination and supervision of market launches.
The planning, implementation and evaluation of application observations to prepare claims were as much part of my role as the formulation and presentation of publications for the general media and specialized journals.
I enjoy being part of the history of a product and working closely, outcome-oriented and competently with everyone involved.
