My preference is to work on monthly retainer however I am open to short term project-based consulting opportunities as well as available for consultation by the hour.  In addition, I’m available for speaking engagements, and most recently presented on “The Natural Movement in Cosmetics” at the annual ICMAD meeting in June 2017. 

My experience is in virtually every ingredient category – emulsifiers, active ingredients, surfactants, emollients and preservatives.  My specific area of expertise is the Western United States, California specifically.  I thoroughly understand chemicals, and that includes all the natural ones as well. 

Are you a brand owner looking for the next big ingredient in the cosmetic industry?  Do you want to understand ingredients better? Perhaps you don’t understand what natural means and are in need of ideas of how to handle the ever-evolving regulatory landscape?  Or maybe you are a supplier that needs to help understanding the cosmetic industry better, or needs help fine tuning your product to the cosmetic industry?  These are just a few of the areas where Bill Ross may be able to help.**
