Navigating U.S. Cosmetic Labelling Requirements - Ensuring Compliance and Consumer Safety

Having proper and accurate labelling information on cosmetic products is of high importance for brands to ensure consumer safety.

In the U.S., cosmetic labelling is regulated by the U.S. Food & Drud Administration (FDA) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and the Fair Packaging and Labelling Act (FPLA), making it essential for businesses selling beauty products to comply with regulatory requirements. However, with a wide range of products covering the term "cosmetic," it can be challenging to determine which regulations apply to your products.
