The recent passage of the Modernization of Cosmetic Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA Act) in the United States can be considered a revolutionary change that has shaken the entire cosmetics industry like never before. For the first time since the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) of 1938, the regulatory framework for cosmetics in the United States has been radically updated. What does this change mean? 👩🔬
⚙️ Under MoCRA, all cosmetic companies selling in the U.S. market will be required to register their manufacturing and processing facilities with the FDA and update their information every two years. This will undoubtedly enhance product traceability and transparency within the industry. 📈
💼 The bill also changes cosmetic product filings from voluntary to mandatory, which requires manufacturers, packagers, or distributors to submit detailed product information to the FDA. This change from voluntary to mandatory will undoubtedly lead to more stringent product safety regulations. 🏭
🛡️ The emphasis on product safety is one of the highlights of the MoCRA bill. The bill highlights the need for those responsible for cosmetics to keep proof of the safety of each product and ingredient, and the FDA has been given greater authority to review these supporting documents. This change may be stressful for some brands, but it is undoubtedly good news for consumers. 🌟
🔍 When dealing with adverse reactions, the MoCRA Act requires the person in charge of a cosmetic product to document all adverse reactions and report them to the FDA within 15 business days in the event of a serious adverse reaction.This rapid response mechanism is designed to protect consumers from potential harm. 📋
🏷️ The bill also specifically adds cosmetic labeling requirements - including fragrance allergen information and adverse reaction feedback contact information - a change that gives consumers the right to know more about their products. 📬
🛠️ For the first time, the FDA will also have the power to mandate recalls, which means greater risk for products that may be "adulterated" or "mislabeled. At the same time, the FDA is required to establish standardized testing methods for asbestos in talc-containing cosmetics, another layer of health protection. 🔬
🌊 For the use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the FDA will be conducting a comprehensive evaluation of their safety in cosmetics, while at the same time, the phenotypes in the MoCRA show a shift toward phasing out animal testing. 🐰
We will continue to monitor the progress of modernizing the U.S. cosmetics safety standards and regulatory system. 📜📚
