MIAMI, FL – May 9, 2026 – FDA Registration Assistance, a U.S.-based FDA compliance consulting firm serving clients in more than 135 countries, is helping cosmetic brands navigate the growing complexity of compliance under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA).

As cosmetic regulations in the United States continue evolving, many domestic and international beauty brands are seeking guidance on FDA cosmetic facility registration, cosmetic product listings, ingredient compliance, labeling requirements, and overall MoCRA obligations before entering or expanding within the U.S. market.

FDA Registration Assistance says the company has seen a significant increase in inquiries from skincare brands, perfume companies, personal care manufacturers, and cosmetic exporters looking for support understanding the new FDA cosmetic requirements introduced under MoCRA.

“Many cosmetic companies are still unsure about what MoCRA requires and whether their products or facilities must be registered with the FDA,” said a spokesperson for FDA Registration Assistance. “Our goal is to simplify the process and help brands understand exactly what steps they need to take to remain compliant while continuing to grow in the U.S. market.”

MoCRA introduced major regulatory changes for the cosmetic industry, including mandatory cosmetic facility registration requirements and cosmetic product listing obligations for many businesses manufacturing or processing cosmetic products sold in the United States. The law also expanded the FDA’s authority regarding adverse event reporting, safety substantiation, recordkeeping, and cosmetic labeling compliance.

According to FDA Registration Assistance, many cosmetic brands mistakenly believe that compliance only involves filing a simple registration online. However, the company says MoCRA compliance often requires businesses to review product ingredients, manufacturing information, labeling practices, facility ownership details, and product marketing claims before completing submissions.

FDA Registration Assistance provides support for MoCRA Cosmetic Facility Registration, cosmetic product listings, FDA label reviews, ingredient compliance guidance, U.S. Agent services for foreign cosmetic facilities, and ongoing compliance support for cosmetic companies entering the U.S. market.

The company works with a wide range of cosmetic businesses including skincare brands, perfume manufacturers, body care companies, haircare brands, beauty startups, private label cosmetic companies, and international cosmetic exporters. FDA Registration Assistance says many of these businesses are first-time importers unfamiliar with FDA terminology and regulatory expectations.

The company also notes that cosmetic labels have become an increasingly important area of concern under MoCRA. Labels containing improper claims, missing information, or noncompliant formatting may create regulatory risks or delays during importation and retailer onboarding.

“Many brands focus only on getting the registration completed but overlook the importance of compliant labeling and proper ingredient documentation,” the company added. “Reviewing labels before products enter production can help businesses avoid costly corrections later.”

FDA Registration Assistance says it continues expanding its cosmetic compliance support services as more beauty and personal care companies prepare for increased FDA oversight under MoCRA.

International cosmetic manufacturers and U.S.-based beauty brands interested in understanding MoCRA requirements can contact FDA Registration Assistance directly for compliance guidance and registration assistance.
