Cosmetic Product Listing Services
We ensure your cosmetic products are correctly listed with the FDA for full compliance and peace of mind.
Under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA), every cosmetic product sold in the U.S. must be listed with the FDA. This responsibility falls on the U.S. Responsible Person, making cosmetic product listing a key step in regulatory compliance.
At Taobé, we provide expert cosmetic product registration services to support U.S. Responsible Persons. We prepare and manage the information needed for FDA submissions, ensuring your cosmetic product listings are complete, accurate, and MoCRA-compliant. This way, you can meet your legal obligations with confidence and focus on growing your brand.
What is a MoCRA Product Listing?
Under MoCRA, all cosmetic products marketed in the U.S. must be registered with the FDA and listed in the FDA’s official database. The cosmetic product listing requires submitting detailed information such as ingredients, product category, intended use, and labeling. This process enables the FDA to monitor the safety and compliance of cosmetics on the U.S. market.
For cosmetic companies, the U.S. Responsible Person holds the legal responsibility for ensuring every cosmetic product listing is accurate, complete, and submitted within the required timelines.
What’s Involved in the Cosmetic Product Listing Process?
The cosmetic product listing process involves several key steps that must be followed carefully. These include:
- Confirm if your company qualifies as a Small Business: Some companies may be exempt from cosmetic product registration. Use the FDA’s decision tool to check.
- Define the Responsible Person’s business type: Choose whether the Responsible Person is a manufacturer, packer, or distributor.
- Collect mandatory details about the Responsible Person: Name and telephone number are required.
- Gather mandatory information about the cosmetic products: Product name, composition (including fragrance and flavor content), category, and use (specify if it is for professional use only).
- List all facilities involved in manufacturing or processing the product: Include facility names, FEI numbers, addresses, and ZIP codes.
- Provide the cosmetic product’s labeling.

FAQs: Cosmetic Product Listing under MoCRA
What is a cosmetic product listing under MoCRA?
Cosmetic product listing requires a Responsible Person to submit each product’s details (ingredients, label, intended use, etc.) to the FDA so the product is officially listed in the FDA’s database.
Who is the Responsible Person for cosmetic product listing?
The Responsible Person is the manufacturer, packer, or distributor whose name appears on the product label. They are legally responsible for ensuring the listing is complete, accurate, and submitted on time.
Are there exemptions from the facility registration and cosmetic product listing requirements?
Yes. MoCRA defines “Small Business” exemptions that may exclude some companies. However, certain product types and facilities are not exempt, such as products applied to the eye area or injected cosmetics.
What information must be submitted in a cosmetic product listing?
Required details include: product name, full ingredient list (including fragrances, flavors, and colors), product category, intended use, and labeling. Updates are also required when a product’s formula or label changes.
How often must cosmetic product listings be updated?
At least once a year, and also whenever there are changes to the product such as new labeling, claims, or formulation.
Does cosmetic product listing cover free samples or gifts?
Yes, most consumer products — even if distributed as free samples — require a listing. The only exceptions are products used solely for research and development that are not intended for consumer use.
What happens if a Responsible Person fails to list their cosmetic product or register their facility?
Failure to comply may result in FDA enforcement action, refusal of imported cosmetic products at the border, and other legal consequences under the FD&C Act.

The FDA offers tools such as Cosmetics Direct (an SPL submission tool), the Electronic Submissions Gateway (ESG), and other SPL-authoring software for completing submissions.
