What is MoCRA and what does it mean for your cosmetics compliance?

 

The FDA’s Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) introduces new obligations for companies selling cosmetics in the U.S. — from formula compliance and safety substantiation to stricter FDA cosmetic labeling requirements.

For many businesses, adapting to MoCRA raises key questions:

Under MoCRA, companies must maintain safety substantiation for each cosmetic product, including toxicological risk assessments, ingredient information, manufacturing records, and labeling that complies with FDA requirements. Depending on the product, additional reports or facility registration may also apply.

Formula compliance requires a full review of ingredients against FDA restrictions, MoCRA updates, and international standards where relevant. This includes verifying concentrations, permitted uses, and possible allergens or restricted substances. Our consultants analyse formulations to identify risks before submission.

Labels must accurately reflect product identity, function, ingredients, warnings, and responsible person details. The FDA also requires the net quantity in U.S. customary units, the name and full address of the brand owner or importer, and contact information for reporting adverse events. Ingredient lists must appear under the heading “Ingredients:” in descending order of predominance, and labels must state if the product contains fragrances or flavors.

Specialized cosmetics compliance consultants, like Sobel, help brands interpret MoCRA obligations, prepare documentation, and act as U.S. agents when needed. With expert guidance, companies can manage compliance efficiently and reduce the risk of regulatory setbacks.

With Sobel’s cosmetics compliance consultants, you gain clarity and expert guidance. We help you prepare documentation to bring your products to the U.S. market with confidence.
