FDA Has Stopped Accepting Submissions to the Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP)

Contrary to the expectation in the cosmetic regulatory space, the FDA has stopped accepting submissions to the voluntary cosmetic registration and listing program and will not be transferring this data to the program the Agency is establishing for the mandatory submission of facility registration and product listing under MoCRA. The agency made the announcement on Monday 27 March 2023 that the voluntary program was ending and that it is creating a new system to handle the large number of submissions that will result due to MoCRA.

EAS will continue to update our clients with information as it becomes available.
