Introduction to Skincare Localization
“Fast and precise still aren’t sufficient.
This is what 20 years in the field of professional translation services taught me for the beauty industry. Your localization partner should think like a regulatory affairs professional.
What do we need in the field of beauty product translation projects? To understand CPNP workflows, claim substantiation hierarchies, and market-specific requirements before the first word is translated. Regulatory beauty product localization requires deep domain knowledge.
And what is regulatory strategy? Knowing which ingredients trigger REACH notifications for product descriptions. Adapting efficacy claims across markets. Making a PIF audit ready.” – Viveta Gene, PhD
