Cosmetic Regulations, Labeling and Safety Virtual Seminar
How to Ensure Your Products Comply with the US Requirements
Instructors EAS Independent Advisor for Colors and Cosmetics, John Bailey, Ph.D. & EAS Independent Consultant, Catherine Bailey
Cosmetic products are expected to only exert superficial, not physiological, effects on the human body, meaning they can make no claims that imply treatment of medical conditions or that affect structure or function. Raw materials used as ingredients in cosmetics are also, by law, considered cosmetics. Though there are no formal Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations for their production, industry standards and practice are applied, and the largely self-regulated industry maintains a good safety track record.
The competition, however, is fierce as new technologies, ingredients and formulations are continually developed to satisfy increasingly demanding consumer expectations. This can exert pressure on manufacturers to stretch the boundaries and greatly increase the risk of FDA enforcement action.
What are legally acceptable formats for the package? How about ingredients, including color additives? What kinds of claims can be made for cosmetics products and how should their labeling and packaging be designed accordingly? How can GMPs be instilled when little prescriptive guidance is available?
