FDA Compliance - Techlink
 

Cosmetic Safety

Presently, the FDA cannot require companies to register their cosmetics establishments with the agency, although they encourage companies to do so voluntarily.

However, the FDA does intensively monitor the safety of products on a post-market basis. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to ensure correct labeling, safety of ingredients and use of GRAS colorants.

Environmentalist groups are trying to change these regulations by suggesting registration of products and ingredients, and the use of meaningful and proven labeling.

Mandatory California Cosmetics Registration

The State of California has signed an act into Law independent of the FDA.

The California Cosmetic Safety Act was signed into law in 2005.  For all cosmetic products sold in California, the act requires the manufacturer, packer, and/or distributor named on the product label to provide to the California Safe Cosmetics Program in the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) a list of all cosmetic products that contain any ingredients known or suspected to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
