Understanding MoCRA: A New Era for the Cosmetic Industry in the USA
In a significant move for the cosmetics industry, the United States has introduced the Modernisation of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), aiming to bring substantial changes to how cosmetic products are regulated. This comprehensive legislation represents the most significant update to cosmetic regulations in the USA since the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938. Here, we explore the key aspects of MoCRA and what it means for the industry, particularly for brands and consumers alike.
What is MoCRA?
MoCRA, or the Modernisation of Cosmetics Regulation Act, is designed to enhance the safety and efficacy of cosmetic products in the USA. This legislation mandates stricter regulatory oversight, ensuring that cosmetic products meet rigorous safety standards before reaching the market. Key provisions of MoCRA include:
- Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP): MoCRA requires adherence to current Good Manufacturing Practices, ensuring products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards.
- Adverse Event Reporting: Companies must report serious adverse events to the FDA within 15 business days, ensuring swift action and consumer protection.
- Safety Substantiation: Companies must substantiate the safety of their products and ingredients, providing scientific evidence to back their claims.
- Mandatory Facility Registration: Cosmetic manufacturing facilities must register with the FDA and comply with inspection requirements, ensuring transparency and accountability.
- Labelling Requirements: Enhanced labelling requirements will provide consumers with clearer information about product ingredients and potential allergens.
Impact on the Cosmetics Industry
The introduction of MoCRA marks a new era of transparency and accountability in the cosmetics industry. For brands, this means a significant shift towards more stringent compliance and regulatory standards. Here’s how MoCRA is reshaping the industry:
- Enhanced Consumer Trust: With stricter safety regulations and transparency, consumers can trust that the products they use are safe and meet high-quality standards.
- Innovation and Research: Brands are encouraged to invest in research and development to substantiate the safety and efficacy of their products, leading to innovative solutions and improved product formulations.
- Global Standards Alignment: MoCRA brings US regulations closer to international standards, facilitating smoother market entry for global brands and ensuring consistency in product quality worldwide.

At Cosmetic Adhesives Manufacturer, we have always prioritised the safety of our products. Our lash adhesives undergo extensive testing to ensure they meet all safety standards, including those set by MoCRA. This rigorous process includes evaluating the potential for irritation, allergic reactions, and overall safety for use near the eyes.
