USA MoCRA Responsible Person Support

Regulatory support for cosmetic brands entering the US market

Under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA), cosmetic brands selling products in the United States must comply with applicable regulatory obligations concerning product safety, labelling, product listing, adverse event reporting and recordkeeping.

CE.way provides ongoing regulatory support to cosmetic brands and their designated Responsible Persons, helping them understand and manage applicable MoCRA requirements.

USA MoCRA Responsible Person support
Definition

What is a Responsible Person under MoCRA?

Cosmetic product label review

Under MoCRA, the Responsible Person is the manufacturer, packer or distributor whose name appears on the cosmetic product label.

The Responsible Person has several important regulatory obligations, including:

  • Ensuring adequate substantiation of cosmetic product safety
  • Submitting and maintaining FDA cosmetic product listings, unless exempt
  • Receiving and reporting serious adverse events to the FDA
  • Maintaining required records and providing information to the FDA when legally required
  • Ensuring compliance with applicable cosmetic labelling requirements

Certain requirements and exemptions depend on the product and business concerned.

Two different roles

Responsible Person support vs. US Agent services

The MoCRA Responsible Person and a US Agent are different roles.

Responsible Person

The Responsible Person is identified by the manufacturer, packer or distributor named on the cosmetic label.

US Agent

A US Agent may serve as a US-based contact for foreign cosmetic manufacturing facilities in connection with FDA facility registration requirements.

CE.way can provide support with both areas, depending on the client's requirements.

They were instrumental in helping us understand the new laws and streamline the entire process. I would highly recommend their services."
