FDA requirements a cosmetic chemist helps with

Can a cosmetic chemist help me determine if my product is a drug or a cosmetic?

Yes—this is one of the most valuable regulatory services a cosmetic chemist provides. Products such as SPF moisturizers, anti-dandruff shampoos, and acne cleansers sit on the drug-cosmetic boundary. A chemist analyzes your label claims against FDA OTC drug monographs and advises whether you need an active ingredient declaration, Drug Facts panel, or a full NDA. Getting this wrong at launch can trigger an FDA warning letter. Browse chemists with OTC drug experience on the AJ Cosmo Labs app.
