⚠️ COMING SOON!

With the implementation of the MoCRA (Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act), U.S. cosmetic regulations are evolving to strengthen product safety.
One of the most significant upcoming changes is the mandatory labeling of allergenic ingredients, a major topic of discussion across the industry.

The FDA was expected to publish an official list of cosmetic allergens by June 2024, but it has not yet been released.

This hasn’t stopped brands from preparing in advance by:

Identifying potential allergens in their formulas (following EU practices)
Providing voluntary transparency to consumers
Adjusting their regulatory strategies ahead of this upcoming requirement
