Is the new US law to ensure the safety of cosmetics products distributed in the United States. It entails significant expansion of the FDA authority to regulate cosmetics that consumers use every day. With the passing of MoCRA, FDA requires biennial registration renewal between October 1 and December 31 of every odd-numbered year.
MoCRA impacts manufactures and processors selling cosmetic products in the US. It includes new and redefined requirements for cosmetics products, manufacturing facilities and distributors. The regulation also sets certain responsibilities for the “Responsible Person” whose name appears on the label of the cosmetic product.
Under MoCRA, it becomes mandatory to have a Responsible Person designated for each cosmetic product placed on the US market. The Responsible Person can be the manufacturer, packager, or distributor, and their name, domestic address and domestic phone must be labeled on the packaging.
Every foreign manufacture must designate a “responsible person who will be in charge to list each marketed cosmetic product with FDA, including product ingredients, and provide any updates annually.
