Kelly Goris is a Regulatory Toxicologist and Safety Assessor at The Regulatory Company (TRC). She is performing product safety evaluations, ingredient reviews and interpretation of regulatory changes. Kelly also oversees work carried out in PRIMS, the company’s software used by TRC and brands for accurate and efficient compliance management.
Her background includes a Master in Toxicology and Environmental Health, as well as several professional courses with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Her regulatory experience is complemented by earlier roles as founder and formulator of a cosmetic start-up, and research into human health impacts of chemical exposures. Collectively, this background equips her with a comprehensive perspective on cosmetic safety - spanning human health, environmental considerations, and regulatory compliance.
With years of hands-on experience as a regulatory expert and cosmetic safety assessor, she has reviewed a wide range of product categories, including skincare, haircare and more specialised formulations such as oxidative and non-oxidative hair dyes. She combines scientific rigour with practical regulatory expertise to help brands clearly understand and fulfil their compliance and safety obligations before entering the EU, UK, USA or Canadian markets.
Kelly is also a member of the ERPA - the European Responsible Person Association. Through this role she supports ERPA’s expert contributions to, for example, the Working Group on Cosmetic Products of the European Commission.
