Regulatory Affairs Manager at Bedoukian Research

“I love the smell of vanilla because I find it calming and it reminds me of many delicious things.”

I have been with Bedoukian Research, Inc. for over 15 years in the regulatory affairs department. I enjoy what I do and am glad to give back to the industry as co-chair of the OSHE committee. One of my favorite quotes is by Walter Hagen: “You’re only here for a short visit. Don’t hurry, don’t worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.”

Co-Chair: Eileen Hedrick

Director of Regulatory Affairs at Symrise North America

“I love the smell of lilacs and hyacinths because the fragrance in my lilac and hyacinth room spray always makes me think of spring and new beginnings. I start spraying my home in January because as soon as the holidays are over, I’m done with winter and can’t wait for spring!”

As Director of Regulatory Affairs at Symrise, I am responsible for regional compliance to federal, state, and local regulations in the Scent and Care Division, encompassing fragrances and cosmetic ingredients. Through the years, I’ve lived through many changes and challenges in the regulatory arena as it relates to fragrances and cosmetics —from minimal requirements in the beginning to, up to our eyeballs, today. However, I’ve been in the fragrance industry for almost 34 years and am so thankful for the many, many industry friends I’ve made along the way— because of you, it’s a pleasure to come to work every day!
