Time’s Up! Cosmetic Facilities Must Comply With FDA’s New Registration Requirements by July 1 - Wiley Rein
FDA's new registration requirements for cosmetic facilities take effect July 1, 2024, under MoCRA. All facilities must register with FDA and list their products.
Aforeworn detected this change in the Cosmetics & Personal-Care (MoCRA) space on July 6, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard.
