1. When do I need to update my cosmetic registration with the FDA?
Any modification in formulation, packaging, labelling, or product details may require an update. Sobel helps determine if the change qualifies as an update or if a new registration is needed.
2. How long does the FDA take to analyse a registration change?
The FDA typically reviews documentation within 30 to 90 days. However, once the protocol is issued, your product can already be marketed during this period.
3. Is updating a cosmetic registration mandatory under MoCRA?
Yes. Keeping outdated registrations may result in non-compliance, which could lead to regulatory issues or penalties.
4. Do I need a new registration if only the product name changes?
Not always. Some updates, such as product name or packaging adjustments, may be processed as an update. Sobel analyses each case to confirm the correct path.
5. Can international companies use this service?
Yes. We support both U.S. and non-U.S. companies exporting cosmetics to the American market, guiding them through the FDA Direct Cosmetics system.
6. Which types of changes must be reported under MoCRA cosmetic registration?
Changes involving product formulation, labeling, packaging, manufacturer information, or responsible person details may require updates to cosmetic product listings. Reviewing these changes early helps companies determine whether an update or a new registration is required and maintain ongoing regulatory compliance.
7. Where can I find complete guidance on FDA cosmetic compliance under MoCRA?
Updating cosmetic registrations is only one part of the broader MoCRA regulatory framework, which also includes product listing, labeling compliance, safety substantiation, and facility registration requirements.
