Cosmetics Regulatory Services in the United States of America (USA)

Get MoCRA Compliance

Overview

The United States remains the largest market for Cosmetic products globally. With the introduction of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA), US FDA Cosmetic regulations are evolving rapidly. While traditional laws didn’t require pre-approval, under MoCRA compliance, the FDA can now review Cosmetic products and enforce recalls for non-compliance.

At Freyr, we help brands ensure smooth FDA registration for Cosmetics. Stay compliant with MoCRA and enter the U.S. market with confidence and clarity.

Understanding USA’s Cosmetic Regulatory Landscape

In the United States, FDA Cosmetic regulations have become more rigorous under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA). Products like antiperspirants, anti-dandruff and acne treatments, and mouthwashes marketed with Cosmetic therapeutic claims are now classified as drugs rather than Cosmetics, requiring stricter compliance and separate approvals.

Products that do not meet the updated standards may be subject to FDA Cosmetics registration review and recall. Since Post-Marketing Surveillance and Adverse Events are monitored stringently, thorough tracking and reporting of the products can be challenging, which may also increase the revenue burden.
