The FDA regulates cosmetics; however, the FDA’s legal authority over cosmetics is different from other products regulated, such as drugs, biologics, and medical devices. Under FDA’s Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), cosmetics must not be “adulterated” or “misbranded.” For example, they must be safe for consumers when used as directed in their labelling or under customary conditions of use, and they must be properly labelled and not mislead consumers. Companies and individuals who market cosmetics have a legal responsibility for the safety and labelling of their products.
In addition to these requirements, the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) imposes new requirements on companies that manufacture and distribute cosmetics in the U.S.
Mandatory FDA registration of cosmetics facilities
Adherence to FDA Good Manufacturing Practices
Record-keeping (including safety substantiation)
Declaration of fragrance allergens.
MoCRA also gives the FDA new records access and mandatory recall authority.
