What does the FDA’s latest update on cosmetics regulation mean for beauty brands, manufacturers, and marketers? In this episode, we unpack how the FDA is expanding its oversight of the cosmetics industry through implementation of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), the most significant overhaul of federal cosmetics regulation in more than 80 years. From mandatory facility registration, product listing, adverse event reporting, and safety substantiation requirements to forthcoming rules on good manufacturing practices, fragrance allergens, PFAS scrutiny, and talc testing, the agency is gaining unprecedented visibility into the cosmetics marketplace. As FDA signals that compliance, transparency, and product safety will remain key priorities, companies should prepare for heightened regulatory, litigation, and reputational risks in an increasingly scrutinized industry.
