Make Sure You Are Market Ready

Manufacturers of cosmetic products often distribute products that are considered to be FDA OTC products and therefore subject to more rigid regulatory requirements under different statutory authorities. We help our clients comply with state, federal and international labeling, ingredients and manufacturing requirements to ensure that the cosmetics and cosmeceutical products are ready for market.


Our FDA Cosmetics attorneys counsel clients on the following:

  • FDA Authority Over Cosmetics;
  • Cosmetic Safety;
  • Animal Testing;
  • Response to FDA regulatory actions (e.g. Warning Letters);
  • Legal distinctions between OTC and Cosmetics;
  • Color Additives;
  • Consumer Complaints;
  • Imported Cosmetics;
  • Inspection of Cosmetics; and
  • Shelf Life - Expiration Date.
