The Good Face Project, the beauty industry’s leading AI formulation and regulatory technology, adds regulatory services offering to enhance its capabilities as a technology-first, full-service regulatory compliance partner.

As regulatory compliance continues to increase in complexity, the regulatory function has become a significant bottleneck for new product development. Good Face’s Technology provides beauty and personal care teams with instant compliance screening across global regulations, retail policies, and consumer standards by automating the collection of real-time regulatory data and mapping it across 170K+ ingredients and their synonyms in a matter of seconds, an undertaking that is otherwise tedious and time consuming due to changing regulations.

As a technology-first company, the addition of regulatory services is a natural extension to serve the industry’s growing need for regulatory support. Good Face’s technology eliminates the arduous time consuming work that has historically fallen on regulatory professionals, but policy interpretation, guidance and action hinges on the context of the regulating body’s requirements, enforcement power and precedent, thus requiring a subject matter expert.

“Many of our customers have in-house regulatory teams who are empowered and enabled with our technology, yet the need for additional support became clear with the passing of MoCRA. As a company that aims to partner with its clients, bringing on a regulatory services team was an obvious choice.” – Iva Teixeira, founder of the Good Face Project.

Good Face tapped industry veteran and technology advocate, Tarek Nasser, to helm Good Face’s regulatory services department. A compliance strategist with over 10 years of experience with FDA-regulated industries including personal care, Tarek has worked in both domestic and global markets and holds expertise in Cosmetic, OTC, and Medical Device Categories. Tarek holds a BA in Political Science from Baldwin Wallace University and an MA in Public Policy from American University.

“Even the industry players with the most conservative and preemptive approach to compliance are profiting from supplemental investments in regulatory consulting because these requirements aren’t black and white—they’re spirited and intentional. The best regulatory policy is one that can automate the burdensome data gathering and analysis while using human expertise to interpret applicable policy. This is the qualitative and quantitative approach—marrying technology with a highly nuanced and contextual regulatory policy—that will enable brands to succeed in any market around the world.” – Tarek Nasser
