MoCRA Labeling Compliance Lawyer

Current Labeling Requirements

MoCRA requires cosmetic product labels to include contact information for consumers to report adverse events, and mandates professional-use designations for products intended solely for application by licensed professionals.

Pending Fragrance Allergen Disclosure

FDA has pending rulemaking that would require disclosure of certain fragrance allergens on cosmetic labels. Brands should monitor this rulemaking closely, since it will likely require formulation review and label updates once finalized.

PFAS Developments

FDA has examined PFAS presence in cosmetic products and published related findings. Future action in this area could affect labeling or formulation requirements, and companies should track developments to anticipate compliance obligations.

Auditing Current Labels

A practical first step for many brands is auditing current product labels against MoCRA's existing requirements, identifying gaps such as missing adverse event contact information or incorrect professional-use designations.

Preparing for Future Rulemaking

Because additional labeling rules are still being finalized, brands benefit from building a labeling review process that can incorporate new requirements efficiently rather than treating each rule change as a one-off project.

Coordinating Labeling With Broader Compliance

Labeling compliance connects closely with product listing and safety substantiation obligations, since accurate labels often depend on the same underlying product and ingredient information used elsewhere in a company's MoCRA compliance program.
