The cosmetics and grooming products industry is like the wild wild West. Until recently, the regulatory system failed to keep consumers safe from toxicants that likely increase their offspring's “risks of cancer, fertility issues, neurological deficits, and immune dysfunction.” And then came the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022, or MoCRA. Today, we talk about MoCRA with subject matter expert Dahlia Kelada, founder/CEO of TopicalFormulator.com and Salve Naturals & Native Earth. When Congress passed the new law, it did so with the goal to help ensure the safety of multiple cosmetic products many consumers use daily. MoCRA went into effect in late December 2024. Dahlia is a graduate of the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences, where she earned a Master of Science in Health Science with a focus in Integrative Medicine. She has 20+ years of product development/commercialization experience supporting over 80 brands. Salve Naturals is a national all-natural and organic topical medicine company that was the first to make 100% natural, plant-based topical medicines that are registered with the FDA as OTCs. MoCRA is the most significant expansion of U.S. Food & Drug Administration's authority to regulate cosmetics since the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act was passed in 1938. But how will it effect consumers and producers? ◘ Related Links FDA Press Release: Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) https://bit.ly/42jhyOx New Year, Same MoCRA: FDA Cosmetic Requirements as of January 1, 2025 https://bit.ly/40uc4h4 MoCRA Q&A https://bit.ly/42iTXxn MoCRA Increases FDA Oversight of the Cosmetics Industry https://bit.ly/40IFSYY Dahlia Kelada https://bit.ly/4g3CwEl ◘ Transcript https://bit.ly/3JoA2mz ◘ This podcast features the song “Follow Your Dreams” (freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Ho…ur_Dreams_1918) by Scott Holmes, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (01https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license. ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

En este episodio del Podcast "Contenedor de Negocios" de AGEXPORT, se aborda un tema crucial para los exportadores de cosméticos guatemaltecos: la Ley de Modernización de la Regulación de Cosméticos (MoCRA) de Estados Unidos. Esta ley, aprobada en diciembre de 2022, trae nuevos desafíos y oportunidades para los negocios guatemaltecos que buscan expandir su presencia en el mercado estadounidense. Para guiarnos a través de este complejo tema, Inés Valle, Analista de Admisibilidades y Normas Técnicas de AGEXPORT, da más detalles de esta ley y ejemplifica cómo las empresas pueden cumplir con sus exigencias.
In December, America's first big move to regulate the beauty industry in more than 80 years went into effect with the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulatory Act of 2022, best known as MoCRA. But it isn't until the end of this month that the industry will meet its first big deadline from the Food & Drug Administration. By July 1, brands and manufacturers must provide a list of their products and where they were made to the FDA through its online portal called Cosmetics Direct. It's the first of many deadlines and requirements, some of which are still in flux, that will slowly reshape how the industry is regulated over the next few years. For example, MoCRA will give the FDA new visibility into what's in beauty products and where they are manufactured. It also provides new authority to the FDA to issue mandatory product recalls and alert consumers to common allergens through mandatory warning labels. That's thanks, in part, to new visibility into fragrance ingredient lists, which had long been classified as intellectual property but must now be shared with the FDA. Previously, America's regulation was made up of small federal and state laws, which created a growing movement for better regulation. For example, brands like BeautyCounter spent years lobbying for better regulation on social media and on the hill in Washington, while brands like Henry Rose by Michelle Pfeiffer was created to offer an alternative to the under-regulated fragrance industry. So how did this piece of legislation finally get passed? While you may not know attorney Katlin McKelvie by name, she is a Washington D.C.-based lawyer who was integral in the creation of MoCRA. McKelvie has more than two decades of experience working in food and drug law, including 11 years at the FDA. She also served as the Deputy General Counsel of the United States' Department of Health and Human Services and as the Deputy Health Policy Director and Senior FDA Counsel to the Senate Committee on health, education, labor and pensions for chair Patty Murray. While working with Congress, she helped shape many pieces of legislation that have impacted us all, including MoCRA, before becoming a partner of a private D.C. firm called Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher. On today's episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast, McKelvie shares the origin story for MoCRA, including the challenges and compromises made during its early days in the Senate. She also shares the challenges she suspects brands may face while navigating compliance, the requirements the FDA will release next and the changes consumers can expect in the coming years.

Over The Counter 24 Oct 2023: An Approach To MoCRA With Good Face Project's Iva Teixeira by Citeline
Earlier this month, in a step toward implementing the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA), FDA issued a draft guidance document titled “Registration and Listing of Cosmetic Product Facilities and Products: Guidance for Industry.” For those who may be new to MoCRA, this legislation significantly overhauled FDA oversight of the cosmetics industry by requiring manufacturers, packers, and distributors, to comply with a range of new standards, including mandatory product and facility registration, creation of safety substantiation information, and adverse event reporting subject to a December 2023 deadline (per the one-year timeframe set per statute). Additional compliance measures, including issuance of good manufacturing practices regulations, updated fragrance allergen disclosures, and domestic contact labeling are expected in 2024 and thereafter. https://www.adlawaccess.com/2023/08/articles/fdas-draft-guidance-on-cosmetics-registration-and-listing-a-good-reminder-of-end-of-year-deadlines/ Kristi Wolff kwolff@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8805 www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Kristi-L-Wolff Subscribe to the Ad Law Access blog - www.adlawaccess.com/subscribe/ Subscribe to the Ad Law News Newsletter - https://www.kelleydrye.com/News-Events/Publications/Newsletters/Ad-Law-News-and-Views?dlg=1 View the Advertising and Privacy Law Resource Center - https://www.kelleydrye.com/Advertising-and-Privacy-Law-Resource-Center Find all of our links here linktr.ee/KelleyDryeAdLaw Hosted by Simone Roach

This week, I welcomed back to the studio Karin F. Baron, Director of Hazard Communication and International Registration Strategy at B&C and our consulting affiliate, The Acta Group. Karin and I discuss the newly enacted Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022, better known as MoCRA. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been the subject of criticism for years over what some regard as inadequate regulation of cosmetics and the facilities where they are produced. MoCRA is intended to modernize the regulation of cosmetics and imposes sweeping changes on the review and regulation of cosmetics about which our listeners need to know. In our conversation, Karin addresses the most consequential new regulatory provisions MoCRA imposes and explains when they are effective and how they will impact the manufacture and marketing of cosmetic products.

Did you know that the FDA never had the authority for beauty product recalls? Or that beauty brands didn't have to disclose potential fragrance allergens on ingredient lists? Or that beauty companies didn't have to report adverse events to the FDA? All of that is about to change. In late December of last year, a bill passed in Congress implementing a massive and long-overdo update to the FDA's regulatory oversight for the beauty industry: Thanks to the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulations Act (MoCRA), the beauty industry will better align itself with supplement manufacturers—and even closer to the EU, which is often held up as the standard for cosmetic regulation.

David Brinker, Director of the Museum of Contemporary Religious Art, stopped by to talk with Nancy about the museum as well as the current exhibition Tom Kiefer: Pertenencias / Belongings Sept. 3 – Dec. 19, 2021. About MOCRA: Through exhibitions, collections and educational programs, MOCRA highlights and explores the ways contemporary visual artists engage the religious and spiritual dimensions. MOCRA serves the diverse Saint Louis University community, and the wider public, by facilitating personal discovery, experience and inspiration, while contributing to a wider culture of interfaith encounter and dialogue. About Tom Kiefer: Pertenencias / Belongings In July 2003, fine art photographer Tom Kiefer started working part-time as a janitor and groundskeeper at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing facility near Ajo, Arizona. In mid-2007, he was given permission to collect food confiscated from migrants and asylum seekers and donate it to a local food pantry. He was deeply moved at finding personal belongings in the trash bins along with the food. These items, necessary for hygiene, comfort and survival, were deemed “non-essential” or “potentially lethal” and seized and discarded by officials. Kiefer began to quietly rescue what items he could, and he resigned from his job in August 2014 to focus on photographing and documenting them in an ongoing project titled El Sueño Americano / The American Dream.

When MOCRA opened in 1993, many people were skeptical about a museum focusing on expressions of religion and spirituality in contemporary art. Preconceptions were firmly lodged for those coming from the perspective of art and for those coming from the perspective of faith and spirituality. By the time Founding Director Fr. Terrence Dempsey, S.J., retired from the museum on June 30, 2019, however, MOCRA had convincingly established that the religious and spiritual dimensions continue to nourish vital and varied currents in contemporary art. MOCRA celebrated Fr. Dempsey on Nov. 10, 2019, in a program called Pursuing the Spirit in Contemporary Art: A Celebration of Terrence Dempsey, S.J. The afternoon featured a talk by author and curator Dr. Aaron Rosen, who reflected on MOCRA's significance and took stock of the present and future of the dialogue between contemporary artists and the religious and spiritual dimensions. You can see that talk and other highlights of the celebration here. While he was in St. Louis, Rosen joined MOCRA’s new Director, David Brinker, to talk about Rosen’s scholarly and curatorial projects. In their wide-ranging conversation, they also speculated about future trajectories for MOCRA. Be sure to listen to the Audio Extra, "Love as Strong as Death."
