The Regulatory Company Announces Strategic Partnership with Applied Risk and Toxicology

Published On: November 10, 2026

The Regulatory Company (TRC) has entered into a strategic partnership with Applied Risk and Toxicology to support the growth of TRC’s services and its cosmetics regulatory and safety software, PRIMS, in the United States and Canada.

The Regulatory Company (TRC) has entered into a strategic partnership with Applied Risk and Toxicology, LLC (ART) to expand its regulatory and safety services and strengthen the presence of its cosmetics compliance software, PRIMS, in the United States and Canada.

The partnership builds on discussions between Lauren Brown of ART and the TRC team early this year, reflecting a shared approach to cosmetics regulatory compliance and product safety.

TRC provides regulatory and safety expertise to cosmetics and personal care companies, recognizing that regulatory compliance and product safety, while closely connected, do not necessarily mean the same thing. Its PRIMS software brings these two areas together, supporting everything from individual product label reviews and margin of safety calculations to automated, real-time monitoring of current and anticipated regulatory compliance across entire product portfolios.

Through this partnership, ART contributes US-based toxicological expertise to an increasingly complex and evolving regulatory environment. With the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), expanding state-level regulatory requirements and the growing shift toward new approach methods (NAMs) in safety assessment, cosmetics companies face a greater need for expertise that connects scientific understanding with regulatory compliance.

“I was immediately impressed by TRC’s commitment to supporting clients in both compliance and safety,” said Lauren Brown, Founder of ART. “Companies need partners who can connect the science with the regulatory picture, and I’m really looking forward to doing that with TRC.”
