Required Testing
The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) of 2022 significantly increased FDA oversight of the cosmetics industry. This legislation mandates facility registration, product listing, robust adverse event reporting, and empowers the FDA to ban unsafe ingredients. While most companies must comply, there's an exemption for very small businesses. Foreign manufacturers require a U.S. Agent. To ensure compliance and demonstrate product safety, proactive testing is essential. Our lab can help you meet these new requirements with comprehensive testing services tailored to your specific product needs. Proactive testing can help you avoid potential delays and costly setbacks due to future regulatory changes.
