Gloria is the team's pharmacologist and toxicologist — where others see a formulation, she understands how its ingredients behave in the body. That makes her invaluable for safety assessment, toxicological review and the evidence behind health and efficacy claims, and she leads much of our complementary medicines, food and cosmetic work. She holds a PhD in Toxicology and Pharmacology from UCLA, a Masters in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Harvard, and a BSc in Biochemistry from the University of Illinois.

John offers something few regulatory consultants can: seven years working inside Australia's industrial chemicals regulator (NICNAS, now AICIS), so he understands not only the rules but how the regulator evaluates a submission. A chartered chemist and toxicologist, he advises across cosmetics, listed medicines, medical devices and industrial chemicals including GHS classification, SDS drafting and risk assessment, and is a leading sunscreen specialist. He has delivered GMP refresher training in sunscreen manufacture, runs clients' twice-yearly internal audits, accompanies TGA auditors, and sits on the CS-042 committee behind the AS/NZS 2604 sunscreen standard.

Renée is our longest-serving director and offers a rare blend of scientific, legal and regulatory expertise. She holds a PhD (Medicine) and BSc (Hons) from UNSW, began her career as a Senior Scientist at the Garvan Institute, then qualified in Industrial Property and practised as a patent attorney in life sciences and biotech before leading R&D and regulatory affairs at a medical device start-up. That breadth lets her advise quickly and precisely across cosmetics, complementary and OTC medicines, medical devices and foods. She also sits on CHP Australia's manufacturing and complementary medicine committees.
