Enacted on December 29, 2022, the Modernization of the Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) is the first major overhaul of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for cosmetics regulation since its passage in 1938, modernizing the country’s cosmetic regulatory framework to meet current needs. This milestone legislation, driven by a primary objective to fortify product safety assurances from cosmetic manufacturers, introduces a set of new obligations for the cosmetics industry and extends the enforcement authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over cosmetics in the region.
