FDA Cosmetic Registration
FDA Cosmetic Registration is compulsory for manufacturers and processors must register their facility with FDA and renew their registration every two years. It also mandates for Cosmetic Listing. The responsible person must list each marketed cosmetic product with the FDA, including product ingredients, and provide any updates annually.
The MoCRA provides exemptions for certain small businesses from adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), registration, and product listing requirements. However, these exemptions do not apply to manufacturers or facilities that produce specific types of cosmetic products. These include:
- Products that regularly come into contact with the mucous membrane of the eye under customary or usual conditions of use.
- Products that are intended for injection.
- Products that are intended for internal use.
- Products that are intended to alter appearance for more than 24 hours under customary or usual conditions of use, and where removal by the consumer is not part of such conditions of use.
Additionally, exemptions may exist for certain products and facilities that are subject to requirements for drugs and devices
