What does a cosmetic chemist do?

What regulations must a cosmetic chemist follow in the US and EU?

In the US, cosmetics are regulated under the FDA Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) of 2022, which now requires facility registration, serious adverse event reporting, and safety substantiation on file. In the EU, the Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 mandates a Product Information File, a qualified safety assessor sign-off, and CPNP notification before market entry. A cosmetic chemist on AJ Cosmo Labs can help you navigate both frameworks.
