What is MoCRA?

MoCRA, signed into law on December 29, 2022, brings the most significant changes to cosmetic regulation in over 80 years. It gives the FDA expanded authority to regulate the cosmetics industry, focusing on safety, labeling, and product registration. As the beauty and personal care industry continues to grow, MoCRA aims to strengthen consumer protection and ensure that cosmetics are safe for use.

One of the most notable components of MoCRA is its requirement for cosmetic manufacturers and distributors to register their facilities with the FDA, much like the regulations governing drug manufacturing. Additionally, it mandates that cosmetics be free from adulteration and ensures that the FDA has access to safety data for products sold in the market. MoCRA also introduces new provisions for adverse event reporting, product labeling, and the disclosure of ingredients in cosmetic formulations.
