Free to join, the online event ‘Understanding MoCRA: Navigating US Cosmetic Regulations for UK SMEs’ will be taking place on Monday 7 October 2024 at 12:00pm (BST).
A one-stop guide to navigating the cosmetic compliance in the US, the hour-long session is perfect for cosmetic brand owners, manufacturers and exporters, or anyone that is interested in launching a cosmetic brand in the US. It aims to equip attendees with the knowledge to avoid costly mistakes when launching their brand on US soil.
During the webinar, Alex Fotheringham, Operations Director at MSL Solution Providers, will take a close look at MoCRA (The Modernization of Cosmetic Regulations Act of 2022) and examine specific requirements for cosmetics depending on product volumes and product types. At the end of the session, attendees will:
- understand what legislation applies to their cosmetic products and how to design a road map to compliance.
- understand where facility registrations apply and how the requirement for a US agent works.
- gain an understanding of the packaging requirements for US compliance.
Alex Fotheringham, Operations Director at MSL Solution Providers, comments, ‘MoCRA is the first major update to the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) authority over cosmetic products since 1938. This landmark legislation has transformed the industry with the new rules that are now in force. Compliance is crucial for maintaining access to a market valued at a massive USD 62.97 billion in 2023, with projections indicating a compound annual growth of 6.1% from 2024 to 20301. Join me on 7 October for an in-depth exploration of this legislative framework, equipping you with the knowledge to thrive in this booming market.’
