Do private label peptide body lotions need FDA approval before selling in the US?

Cosmetics are not FDA-approved in the US; they are regulated under the FD&C Act and the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA). Manufacturers must ensure safety, proper labeling, and facility registration under MoCRA. If peptide claims cross into drug territory (e.g., 'repairs DNA'), FDA drug regulations apply.
