Discover the evolving landscape of the U.S. cosmetic market under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA), a pivotal shift in FDA’s oversight since 1938. MoCRA represents a significant advancement in ensuring the safety of the daily-used cosmetic products, such as makeup, moisturizers, and haircare items. On average, American consumers utilize between 6 to 12 cosmetic products daily, highlighting the need for stringent regulatory measures 1.
MoCRA introduces comprehensive regulations, including mandatory facility registration, product listing, and adverse event reporting, to enhance product safety. Additionally, it sets forth Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for cosmetic facilities and standardized testing methods for specific ingredients, ensuring a higher safety standard for consumers 12.
Moreover, with MoCRA, the FDA gains new powers, like accessing safety records and enforcing mandatory recalls if a product poses serious health risks, thereby reinforcing consumer protection 12. This act also clarifies responsibilities, defining a “responsible person” as the entity whose name appears on the product label, further ensuring accountability in the cosmetic industry 2.
For companies, navigating this regulatory landscape becomes crucial for market access and consumer trust. MoCRA not only ensures products’ safety and compliance but also guides manufacturers through the intricacies of legal requirements.
In essence, MoCRA marks a new era for the U.S. cosmetic market, fostering a safer, more regulated environment for both consumers and companies, and the FDA plays a central role in this transformation, safeguarding public health while supporting industry innovation.
