Background

The U.S. regulatory landscape for cosmetics is shaped by both federal and state-level oversight. With the enforcement of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulations Act of 2022 (MoCRA) and increasingly stringent state- specific regulations—particularly in California—understanding compliance requirements is more critical than ever. Meanwhile, OTC cosmetics, a category with significant market potential, are drawing growing attention due to their distinct classification and regulation under FDA drug rules.

To help stakeholders navigate these complex frameworks, ChemLinked invited Caroline Santayana, Business Development & Marketing Manager at REACH24H USA, to share expert insights on federal MoCRA requirements, key state legislation impacting cosmetics, and FDA compliance obligations for OTC cosmetics. This session will equip regulatory professionals and businesses with the knowledge needed to successfully access and compete in the U.S. cosmetics market.
