Flexible cosmetic compliance expertise, tailored to your brand’s needs.
Taobé provides cosmetic brands with ongoing regulatory compliance support through a dedicated, flexible monthly retainer, without the costs associated with a full-time hire. Our fractional regulatory support service gives you access to experienced cosmetic regulatory experts without the cost, commitment, or delay in hiring an internal regulatory specialist.
We act as an extension of your team, managing the regulatory activities required to keep your products compliant across the EU and UK. This includes manufacturer and supplier communication, documentation management, registration tracking, and coordination with the artwork designers and local partners involved in bringing a product to market.
Designed for growing beauty brands, our fractional regulatory support provides the expertise and structure needed to manage compliance challenges, support new product launches, and scale into new markets with confidence.
As beauty brands grow, regulatory requirements expand beyond individual projects. Product launches, formula changes, supplier documentation, labels, and market registrations all require ongoing attention.
Without a dedicated regulatory resource, this responsibility often falls across founders, product teams, or operations — creating delays, gaps, and unnecessary risk.
Taobé provides the regulatory structure needed to keep your portfolio compliant, organised, and moving forward.
A single point of contact, worldwide
How our fractional regulatory support helps brands grow
A growing French nail care brand reached a point where regulatory compliance could no longer be managed alongside product development and operations.
Following a regulatory inspection, the brand needed to rebuild its compliance foundation — including safety assessments, product documentation, and registrations.
Taobé created the required regulatory framework and brought every product into compliance. We then became the brand’s ongoing regulatory partner, managing manufacturer communication, documentation collection, CPNP notifications, and portfolio tracking.
The founders now have complete visibility over their compliance status without needing to manage the regulatory process themselves.
During its strategic relaunch, heritage beauty brand Borghese needed regulatory expertise to support multiple product developments while its internal team focused on brand growth.
Taobé integrated into the business as an extension of the team, managing communication with manufacturers, coordinating documentation, and maintaining visibility across product registrations.
With a dedicated regulatory partner managing the process, the Borghese team can focus on relaunching the brand while knowing their compliance requirements are being handled.
As La Bouche Rouge expanded internationally, managing regulatory requirements across multiple markets became increasingly complex.
Rather than coordinating multiple regulatory partners across different territories, the brand chose Taobé as a single point of contact for its global regulatory obligations.
Taobé coordinates EU, UK, and additional market requirements through its network of trusted regulatory partners, giving the brand one relationship, one account, and complete visibility across its regulatory landscape.
Fractional Regulatory Support is designed for brands that need experienced regulatory expertise to support growth, without building a full internal regulatory function.
It is particularly valuable when:
Starting from 5 hours per month and scoped to your products, markets, and regulatory requirements. Your support scales as your needs evolve, with preferential rates available from 8 hours per month. One monthly invoice, with complete visibility on your investment
You will have a dedicated Taobé regulatory expert who understands your products, manufacturers, and compliance history. They manage your regulatory activities end-to-end and coordinate additional Taobé expertise when required
Our proprietary compliance platform gives you real-time visibility across your products, documents, and outstanding actions. You always know the status of every registration in your portfolio
New launches, new markets, and changing regulatory requirements are managed through a flexible support model that adapts as your portfolio evolves
A full-time regulatory specialist is the right choice when compliance requires a permanent internal role.
For many growing beauty brands, regulatory needs fluctuate throughout the year — increasing around launches, formula updates, and market expansion. A retainer provides access to the regulatory expertise you need, scaled to your activity levels, without the fixed overhead of maintaining a full-time hire.
Compliance as a function. Not just a headcount.
If your brand requires ongoing cosmetic regulatory expertise without the commitment of a full-time hire, Taobé can provide the dedicated support and structure needed to manage your regulatory obligations.
Complete the contact form and a member of the Taobé team will come back to you to discuss your portfolio, requirements, and whether Fractional Regulatory Support is the right fit for your brand.
Yes. We communicate directly with your manufacturers and suppliers to obtain regulatory documentation, follow up on outstanding information, and support EU and UK compliance activities. You retain visibility and control while we manage the process.
Yes. We support cosmetic brands with international regulatory compliance beyond the EU and UK, coordinating registrations through our network of trusted local partners. You benefit from a single point of contact, one account, and full visibility across all markets.
Yes. If a product launch, formula update, or other regulatory project requires additional support, we discuss the requirements with you in advance and agree on the appropriate level of support before any additional work is undertaken.
The right question is not portfolio size — it is capacity and focus. If regulatory work is taking time your team does not have, requiring specialist knowledge your organisation does not hold, or falling outside the priorities of the people managing it, the retainer model may be the right fit. We assess your situation before recommending the appropriate level of support.
Yes. All Fractional Regulatory Support clients have full access to FastReg, our proprietary compliance platform, providing real-time visibility across every product, document, and registration step within your portfolio.
No. Fractional Regulatory Support covers the operational layer of compliance — manufacturer liaison, document collection, registration tracking, and coordination across markets. Technical assessment work such as Cosmetic Product Safety Reports, label and claims reviews, or formula compliance checks are separate, individually scoped services. Many clients combine both — we’ll always be clear about what falls under the retainer and what doesn’t.
From regulatory formula assessments and cosmetic safety reports to PIF creation, product notifications, and Responsible Person services, we support every stage of achieving EU and UK cosmetic compliance.
