Do indie beauty manufacturers in the USA require FDA registration?

Cosmetics are not pre-approved by the FDA, but the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) now requires US cosmetic manufacturers to register facilities and list products with the FDA. Any reputable manufacturer you work with should already be compliant. Always request their FDA facility registration number and confirm GMP status before signing a contract. AJ Cosmo Labs encourages transparency on compliance documentation across all listed partners.
