Olivia Santoni has an extensive knowledge of the cosmetics industry globally and over 20 years of practical experience. She is a well known expert within the cosmetics industry and is passionate about how innovative and fast moving the sector is nowadays. 

She studied business law and healthcare product law before specialising in regulatory affairs. She started her regulatory career working as a medical device regulatory inspector at the French Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament et des Produits de Santé (ANSM). She then worked at the international department of the French cosmetics trade association (FEBEA) before moving to the UK and joining the UK Cosmetics Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA).

Over the years, Olivia managed a regulatory and international team to deliver support and advice to companies as well as advocate for the interest of the UK and EU industry. She has led the UK Association’s work on Brexit and international regulatory affairs and has been an active participant at Cosmetics Europe groups on both regulatory and international issues.

In 2019, Olivia founded Bloom Regulatory Ltd to provide pragmatic and expert regulatory and strategic support to cosmetics companies in a world where business opportunities are growing but legislations are increasing and getting more and more complex. Bloom Regulatory now employs 8 regulatory experts and is in constant development. The consultancy has been providing services to over 150 brands from multinational to start up and has been an active member.

Olivia joined the CCUK board of directors to share her entrepreneurial and international skills. She is thrilled to be part of this journey and is looking forward to helping and supporting CCUK and its members!
