Message for Brand Owners

Small to medium-sized beauty companies are challenged to find reliable information in the ever-changing world of cosmetics regulations. Your current products may not meet future requirements or be complaint in the new market you are planning to enter.

Do you need a Regulatory Consultant?

Here are some questions to consider:
- Are you collecting and reviewing all the necessary formula data for your product launches? And if so, is it organized, retrievable, and shareable?
- Are your packaging disclosures correct and complete? - Do you have data to support the product’s claims and safety?
- Does the internal team know the technical questions to ask a contract manufacturer?
- Where required, are your products and their ingredients disclosed to the state and federal agencies as required by law?

If your answers are ”no” or “not sure,” let’s talk. If you’re still on the fence about whether you need expert advice, consider the brand’s long-term goals:

• Are you looking to sell the business someday? The potential new owners will be checking your technical files and data and will negotiate according to any perceived risks.
• Counting on increasing sales by expanding into overseas markets soon? It is usually cheaper to fix an issue in preparation for the new market than when the product’s entry is delayed or denied.

You have worked hard creating a successful beauty brand- don’t jeopardize it by taking unnecessary risks. In the end, it is the brand owner’s responsibility to place a safe and compliant product on the market. Please reach out and share the regulatory challenges you face, and Fernwood Regulatory can develop tailored solutions.
