oOrganic Cosmetics-The FDA regulates the use of the term “organic” under the National Organic Program (NOP) andthe U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). While the NOP was not written for cosmetics, it does applyto cosmetics. The term “organic” is regulated in three main ways: production, handling and labeling.When it comes to labeling a product as organic, the legal labeling standards are based on thepercentage of organic ingredients in a product. Generally, you cannot use the term “organic” oncosmetic labels unless you comply with the NOP.oProduct Labels-The FDA regulates the labeling of ingredients for cosmetic and personal care products via theFPLA. Whether cosmetic or personal care products are manufactured domestically or imported, theymust comply with the FDA’s labeling requirements. Under the FP&L Act, the FDA also requires thatlabels contain the business’ name and address, as well as the address for the manufacturer, packer, ordistributor.An exemption can apply to cosmetics that are processed, labeled, or repacked at anestablishment other than where they were originally processed or packed. More details onexemptions can be found in the FDA’s Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, section 701.9. The FDA hasstrict labeling standards based on their established definitions of cosmetics, drugs, and soaps. Labelsfor these products must correspond to the FDA’s definition of each category. If the labels make claimsrelating to the manufacturing of the cosmetic, such as organic or not being tested on animals, thoseassertions would be enforced by this act as well.
