TruLife DistributionU.S. Retail Commercialization

Home / Industries / Beauty

Beauty & skincare.

Natural and clean formulations into natural grocery, specialty beauty and e-commerce — under a regulatory regime that changed materially and recently.

What's different here

Four things that decide a launch in this category.

01

The rules changed

The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act introduced facility registration, product listing, a responsible person, safety substantiation and adverse event reporting. Brands working from pre-2023 guidance are working from the wrong map.

02

Safety substantiation is now explicit

Records supporting product safety are expected to exist. A long clean record in another market is not a substantiation file.

03

Claims sit close to the drug line

Anti-ageing, repair and treatment language moves quickly from cosmetic into drug territory, and enforcement does not stop at the package.

04

Presentation is scrutinised

Beauty buyers evaluate the physical unit — finish, closure, secondary packaging — in a way supplement buyers generally do not.
