What the United States requires before sale
- Market entry
- No pre-market approval — MoCRA requires facility registration (renewed every two years) and product listing (updated annually) through FDA's Cosmetics Direct portal, enforced since 2024-07-01; color additives need FDA approval and sunscreens/anti-dandruff products are OTC drugs.
- Responsible person
- A 'responsible person' is the manufacturer, packer or distributor whose name appears on the label; a U.S. address is not mandated, but foreign facilities must name a U.S. agent and the responsible person must handle adverse-event reporting.
- Labeling
- English labelling per 21 CFR 701 and the FPLA (identity, net contents, ingredients in descending order, warnings, responsible person name/address); MoCRA adds a domestic address/phone or e-mail for adverse-event contact and professional-use statements; fragrance-allergen disclosure starts only once FDA's pending rule is final.
