Ithos Global FAQ
About Ithos Global & Our Services
What exactly does Ithos Global do?
Ithos Global provides regulatory compliance solutions for the cosmetic, personal care, and over-the-counter supplement industries. We combine our expert consulting services with our advanced software, the Ithos Information Network (IIN), to help brands get their products to market faster while ensuring compliance.
What is the Ithos Information Network (IIN)?
The Ithos Information Network (IIN) is our proprietary software platform that manages the full new product development process, from early R&D through global product notification and registration. It centralizes formulations, ingredient documentation, and regulatory requirements in one system, screening raw materials against global regulations while turning compliance documents into structured, reportable data.
Are you a software company or a consulting firm?
We are both! We believe the best results come from combining powerful technology with human expertise. Our IIN software provides the data and tools, while our team of regulatory experts offers the strategic guidance and support to navigate complex compliance issues.
Technical & Regulatory Questions
How do you keep up with constantly changing regulations around the world?
This is the core of our business. Our dedicated team of regulatory experts reviews and updates regulations on a quarterly basis, ensuring the rules within the Ithos Information Network (IIN) reflect the most current requirements. We then deliver quarterly, portfolio-specific reports that show exactly how those changes impact each client’s products, helping teams assess risk, prioritize actions, and stay ahead of compliance obligations.
We want to launch our cosmetic line in the EU. Can you help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Helping brands enter new markets like the European Union is one of our key specialties. We can assess your formulations for EU compliance, identify data gaps, and help you compile the necessary Product Information File (PIF) and other required documentation.
Does your system screen for specific retailer requirements, like those for Clean Beauty?
Yes. Beyond government regulations, our system can be configured to screen product formulations against various retailer-specific standards and restricted substance lists (RSLS), such as those for “Clean at Sephora” or “Conscious Beauty at Ulta.”
Does your platform integrate with other systems, like a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)?
Yes, the Ithos Information Network is designed to integrate with other business systems, including PLMs and ERPs. This creates a seamless flow of data and ensures that your regulatory information is always connected to your product development lifecycle.
