Fragrance, Beauty & Personal Care Compensation Survey

We invite your participation in the 8th annual edition of the Fragrance, Beauty & Personal Care Compensation Survey. This survey was known last year as the Household & Personal Products Compensation Survey. 

This survey has been developed to capture compensation data (including Annual Base Pay, Bonus, Profit Sharing, Total Compensation and Targeted Bonus percentage) primarily for technical positions within the research and development divisions of the household and personal products industry.  Additionally, some sales positions within the fragrance and beauty industry are collected.

We’re confident that this data will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the competitive compensation within the marketplace.

To learn more about how to participate, contact us

RETURNED TO ORIGINAL NAME: Although last year we changed the name of this survey to Household & Personal Products, we decided the survey is best served using the original name from here on out.

RESULTS ACCESS:  All participants will now receive BOTH the Standard Report AND the Custom Report access capabilities. Your Custom access costs no more than the Standard Report access, and you can run unlimited Custom reports at no additional cost. See page 5 of the Input Instructions for complete details.
