The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) sets strict labeling requirements for cosmetic products to ensure consumer safety and to ensure that products are labeled correctly and transparently. These regulations affect all cosmetic products sold on the U.S. market and include specific guidelines regarding ingredients, warnings and product identification. Manufacturers must ensure that their labels clearly and prominently display all required information to avoid confusion or misleading claims.
Key label elements
Key label elements include the name of the product, a statement of product identity, a list of ingredients in descending order by weight, and the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor. In addition, certain warnings and precautions must be provided, especially if the product has the potential to cause allergic reactions or requires special conditions of use. These requirements are designed to ensure that consumers are adequately informed and can use the products safely. Compliance with these guidelines is mandatory for all manufacturers and importers of cosmetic products and is strictly monitored by the FDA. FDA Cosmetic Labeling Requirments
