iThis 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.
