FDA’s Catch-Up Plan on Cosmetics Faces Likely Regulatory Delays with Change in Administrations: JD Supra

January 20, 2025

Weave’s safe cosmetics work was recently featured in JD Supra’s article about hidden toxins in cleaning products. 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been playing catch-up on three long-delayed proposed rules required under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA):

• Standardized test methods to detect asbestos in talc-containing products;
• Identification of certain fragrances deemed “fragrance allergens” 
• Good manufacturing practices for cosmetics

While FDA in the final weeks of the Biden Administration has made some progress in advancing these three proposed rules, one of which has now been published, the change in Administrations on January 20 will likely create more delays and uncertainty.
