It's time to talk about the FDA and the new guidelines for cosmetic products. I will put out other episodes later for FDA labeling guidelines and product claims, but I need to share the hot potato topic which is the new cosmetic act that's about to slap us all in the face. It's called the Modernization of Cosmetic Regulation Act (MoCRA).

I'll break today's discussion into 5 notable topics to consider from the new MoCRA regulations, and this includes facility and product registration, GMP and product safety testing, adverse event reporting and recalls, labeling and product claims, and we'll discuss who may be exempt from certain parts of MoCRA.

If you're like me, you'll probably take a few deep breaths listening to the news in this episode. But don't worry, you're not alone, and I am working on something big that will help you with this transition so you can focus on your business and not the regulatory chaos that's about to come.

Please subscribe to this Making it to Market podcast to keep current on MoCRA and the new project I'm working on that will help your business make lemonade out of these FDA lemons.
