With more than 11 billion personal care products sold each year in the U.S., the FDA holds cosmetic companies to a strict code of regulations to assure both product safety and that the public is not misled about the safety and efficacy of the products they buy. Baker Donelson lawyers are well-versed in the requirements and we have helped guide our cosmetic company clients through the wide range of regulatory and legislative issues that can impact their industry and their products.
We have assisted cosmetics company clients, many of which source their ingredients outside the United States, in managing their quality assurance and traceability programs by conducting training sessions and conducting third party audits of their suppliers. We frequently develop labeling and packaging protocols to ensure cosmetic products are compliant with both FDA and CPSC requirements.
