Regulatory & Legal
Compliance Hub
Selling a cosmetic in the United States means three separate rulebooks: the FDA decides what your product and label must be, MoCRA decides what you must register and record, and the FTC decides what you are allowed to say. Each guide below translates one of them into steps you can actually work through.
Federal registration
US Cosmetics Law Guide (MoCRA)
Facility registration, product listing, the Responsible Person, safety records and adverse event reporting — plus a screener that tells you whether the small business exemption applies to you.
Open guide →Label law
FDA Cosmetic Labeling Guide
What belongs on the front panel versus the information panel, the net quantity dual declaration with a built-in converter, minimum type sizes and required warnings.
Open guide →Marketing law
FTC Advertising & Claim Safety
The cosmetic-versus-drug claim matrix, "Made in USA" rules, influencer disclosure standards and review integrity requirements.
Open guide →Where this connects in the app
- Ingredient Label Generator (INCI) — builds the ingredient declaration in legal descending order with the sub-1% block handled.
- Batch Records — the production and lot documentation your safety file needs.
- Allergen Search — the fragrance allergens that need naming on the label.
- Preservation Guide — preservative choices that hold up under safety substantiation.
Educational reference, not legal advice. Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm current requirements with the FDA and FTC, and have a qualified safety assessor or attorney review your product before commercial release.
