1. What is an SOP for cosmetics?

A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is a written document that explains, step by step, how a specific task or process must be performed. In cosmetics manufacturing, SOPs ensure consistency, safety, and regulatory compliance with GMP and FDA expectations.

2. Why are SOPs important under MoCRA and FDA rules?

MoCRA reinforces the need for documented processes in cosmetic manufacturing. SOPs are often reviewed during FDA inspections and internal audits, serving as proof that your facility follows structured and compliant practices.

3. How many SOPs does my company need?

The number depends on your operations. Some companies require only a few procedures, while others need a full set covering production, quality control, hygiene, storage, and training. Sobel helps identify which SOPs are necessary for your facility.

4. Can we write SOPs internally?

Yes, but many companies struggle to balance daily operations with regulatory expectations. By working with Sobel, you ensure your SOPs are not only practical but also fully compliant with current U.S. requirements. Let Sobel handle your SOPs so you can focus on what matters most.
