Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA)
At Compliance Insight, Inc., we understand the critical importance of staying ahead in the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape of the cosmetics industry.

Background on MoCRA
For decades, the regulatory framework governing cosmetics in the U.S. remained relatively unchanged, lagging behind the innovations and advancements within the industry. Recognizing the need for an update to protect consumers and ensure product safety, the U.S. government introduced the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulations Act (MoCRA). This act is a comprehensive overhaul designed to align the cosmetics industry with contemporary standards of safety, testing, and accountability.
The Importance of MoCRA
MoCRA introduces a range of new requirements for cosmetic manufacturers and distributors, including but not limited to:
- Enhanced Product Safety Standards: MoCRA mandates stricter safety assessments and reporting for cosmetic products, ensuring that all items on the market have been rigorously evaluated for consumer safety.
- Mandatory Adverse Event Reporting: Companies are required to report adverse reactions to their products, providing the FDA with essential data to protect public health.
- Registration and Product Listing: MoCRA requires all cosmetic facilities and their product formulations to be registered with the FDA, promoting transparency and traceability within the industry.
