Safety is the most critical consideration when caring for yourself and your family. Product safety is a top priority for cosmetics and personal care products companies, and everything they do is grounded in the best science available.
In the U.S., the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) regulates cosmetics and personal care products under the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), the Fair Packaging & Labeling Act (FPLA) and the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) of 2022. MoCRA adds significant new authorities to the FD&C Act, advancing product safety and innovation for the science-driven beauty and personal care industry, further reinforcing consumer confidence.
