FDA Cosmetic registration is as per the new “Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA)”. Cosmetic Facility Registration is compulsory for manufacturers and processors must register their facilities with FDA and renew their registration every two years. It also mandates for Cosmetic Listing. The responsible person must list each marketed cosmetic product with the FDA, including product ingredients, and provide any updates annually.

  1. Products that regularly come into contact with the mucous membrane of the eye under customary or usual conditions of use.
  2. Products that are intended for injection.
  3. Products that are intended for internal use.
  4. Products that are intended to alter appearance for more than 24 hours under customary or usual conditions of use, and where removal by the consumer is not part of such conditions of use.
