Beauty and cosmetics on Amazon

U.S. cosmetics are regulated by FDA; MoCRA added registration, listing, adverse event and safety substantiation obligations. Labs commonly provide microbiology, preservative efficacy, stability and heavy metals testing.

Note

Products making drug claims (e.g. sunscreen, acne) are OTC drugs with different requirements.
