Do I need to register my cosmetic facility with the FDA even if I use a contract manufacturer?

Under MoCRA, both the facility where the cosmetic is manufactured or processed and the 'responsible person' (typically the brand owner) have registration and product listing obligations. If you use a contract manufacturer, their facility must be registered, and you as the brand owner must submit product listings. A cosmetic chemist or regulatory consultant on AJ Cosmo Labs can walk you through the FDA Cosmetics Direct portal submission process and help you compile the required product information to stay fully compliant.
