? The FDA is taking serious action post-MoCRA to ensure cosmetics safety. Recently, a Warning Letter was sent to Amazon on July 25 regarding high acid face peels sold on their platform, deemed unapproved drugs by the FDA, posing potential health risks. Amazon is urged to promptly address this issue by ensuring product safety and compliance.
But it gets worse... Amazon wasn't the only one. Matte Beauty, Walmart, Repare Skincare, and ISIS Gold received similar letters.
?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? = YIKES!
Skincare brands are becoming riskier in claims, especially concerning AHA's and acids - a simple mention of "acne" can misbrand a cosmetic product as a drug! High acid products raise safety and toxicology concerns. Safety testing like HRIPT, patch testing, and having a toxicologist review formulations is crucial before market placement to meet MoCRA's safety substantiation requirement.
