Speaker Bio
Monika Klier has expertise at the intersection of cosmetic regulatory affairs, brand management, and product development, with a particular focus on supporting indie and emerging beauty brands. She specializes in translating complex regulatory requirements into practical, actionable guidance that can be applied directly to product development, brand strategy, and cosmetic claims communication.
Her work focuses on cosmetic claims substantiation, regulatory compliance, and market-ready product positioning, with a strong emphasis on how smaller and growing brands can successfully navigate evolving European and global regulatory frameworks. She is particularly interested in making regulatory expectations accessible and usable during early-stage product development, where formulation, compliance, and branding decisions are closely interconnected.
In addition to regulatory interpretation, Monika is focused on helping brands understand how to navigate changes in the cosmetic market more broadly, including shifting regulatory expectations, evolving consumer demands, and increasing scrutiny around sustainability and product claims. A key aspect of her work involves guiding brands on which stakeholders to engage throughout the product lifecycle, at different development stages, from regulatory experts and safety assessors to formulation partners, testing laboratories, and certification bodies.
She is particularly interested in how regulatory change influences innovation in the cosmetics industry and how indie brands can build resilient development and communication strategies. Her approach emphasizes practical decision-making, cross-functional collaboration, and early alignment between regulatory, product, and brand stakeholders.
She holds a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering and is accredited by the Institute of Personal Care Science, where she earned a Diploma in Brand Management, complementing her work at the intersection of cosmetic regulatory affairs and brand strategy.
As a member of the scientific committee, Monika contributes an applied, industry-focused perspective that connects regulatory requirements with real-world product development and market dynamics. She supports discussions on claims substantiation, compliance best practices, and the operational realities of building compliant and competitive cosmetic products in a rapidly evolving industry.
