Selling Cosmetics in the US: Top 5 Things You Need to Know<\/h2>\n

1. Cosmetics are not FDA-approved but are FDA-regulated, what does it mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n

US FDA regulates cosmetics under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA), the two most important cosmetic laws in the US.<\/p>\n

“The law does not require cosmetic products and ingredients, other than color additives, to have FDA approval before they go on the market, but there are laws and regulations that apply to cosmetics on the market in interstate commerce.[4]<\/a>“<\/span><\/p>\n

Although MoCRA does not modify the current lists of regulated substances, which include around ten restricted or banned substances and a positive list of dyes, the FDA is anticipated to introduce new proposed regulations related to fragrances allergens, the use of PFAS, and testing methods for detecting asbestos in talc-based cosmetics.<\/p>\n

MoCRA pre-empts state law requirements differing from, or in addition to, those relating to registration and product listing, good manufacturing practice, recordkeeping, recalls adverse event reporting, and safety substantiation. Some state laws (such as California’s Prop 65) are pre-empted.<\/p>\n

2. Is it a cosmetic, a drug, or both? (Or is it soap?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Whether a product is a cosmetic or a drug under the law is determined by a product’s intended use,” according to US FDA[5]<\/a>. For example, soaps are not classified as cosmetics under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act); Consumer Product Safety Commission regulates them. Sunscreens are classified as drugs.<\/p>\n

How can a product be both a cosmetic and a drug? Some products meet the definitions of both cosmetics and drugs. This may happen when a product has two intended uses. For example, shampoo is a cosmetic because it is intended to cleanse the hair. An antidandruff treatment is a drug because its intended use is to treat dandruff. Consequently, an antidandruff shampoo is both a cosmetic and a drug.<\/p>\n
