Within MoCRA is a long-awaited update to the US’ cosmetics laws, amending Chapter VI of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) enacted on 29th December 2022.
Under MoCRA there will be new requirements for ‘responsible persons’ and for facilities manufacturing cosmetics and personal care.
All existing facilities, domestic and foreign, which manufacture or process a cosmetic product for distribution in the US must register with the FDA no later than one year after the enactment of MoCRA, which was on 29 December 2022.
Following the deadline, new businesses will have 60 days after beginning manufacturing to register with the FDA.
