What regulatory compliance do I need for a skincare brand?

Register your facility with the FDA (Form 720) and list each product. Conduct safety assessments, stability testing (often 3–6 months), and allergen/irritancy studies. Ensure ingredient compliance with FDA regulations and regional rules (EU banned 1,328+ chemicals; China requires registration for imported cosmetics). Your chemist typically handles formulation compliance, but verify all documentation before launch. Requirements vary by distribution channel.
