Hadley Co. provides copywriting services to brighten and tighten your beauty brand’s communications. Our work values creativity over cliché, fact over fantasy, and clarity over confusion.
Certified in Cosmetic Labels and Claims by the Institute of Personal Care Science.
Unlike beauty products, there’s no secret formula for beauty copywriting. If you’ve tried it, you know it requires comprehensive research, thoughtful consultation, and an understanding of the beauty business. So if you’re searching for a beauty copywriting service that blends sensorial details with common sense, you’ve made it to the right place. It’s exactly what Hadley Co. specialises in.
We support the cosmetics industry by creating on-brand copy for beauty businesses. Beauty copywriting is our specialty, however, we also lend our expertise to clients looking for consultation about beauty communication. We can help with anything word-related – from big-picture projects like developing compliant claims, down to finer details like what to capitalise. (Is it Vitamin C or vitamin C? We’ll guide you.)
Copywriting for beauty products requires thorough research, deliberate word choices, and a knack for understanding local and global beauty insights. So, differing from do-it-all agencies, generalist copywriters, or content marketers, Hadley Co. sticks to what it really knows and loves: beauty and copywriting.
First business? New to the industry? Starting a beauty venture? Launch confidently with brilliant copy.
What we’ve done: Preparing new brands for market entry with one-of-a-kind brand stories and copy concepts that define their perspective and become the foundation of a successful launch.

I’m Amy Hadley: a beauty copywriter with a love for the industry that covers everything from AHAs to zinc oxide. With nearly a decade of professional experience in writing and communication, I created Hadley Co. to offer copywriting services exclusively for beauty brands and businesses.
As someone contributing to the beauty industry, I encourage clients to use words cleverly, sincerely, and responsibly. It’s not about appearances. (Well, perhaps a little. We are talking about cosmetics, after all.) Call me optimistic, but I believe every beauty brand and business can better serve its consumers by being more thoughtful with its communication.
Now, for the résumé. I have a degree in Media, Culture, and Communication and I’m certified in Cosmetic Labels and Claims by IPCS. I’ve worked in print journalism, digital media, public relations, and eCommerce content roles with a focus on beauty. I understand how beauty copywriting relates to design, digital, media, and marketing, bringing a cross-functional approach to each project.
Hadley Co. clients include new beauty brands, established brands, and global cosmetics companies. More of a beauty insider? I can also support beauty service providers, manufacturers, material suppliers, and consultants. If you’re passionate about being in the beauty industry, I have a feeling we’ll enjoy working together.
We don’t like to toot our own horn, but we appreciate it when our clients kindly do!
