Hi, I’m Michael H. Cohen. I’m founding attorney at Cohen Healthcare Law Group. We provide legal strategies and solutions to businesses that accelerate health and wellness. In today’s video, I’ll talk about some marketing and FDA related issues for cosmetic companies. Cosmetics companies FDA regulations.

Their claims are a lot more limited than you can use for dietary supplements. Many companies are confused about this. Again, it’s a trouble with FDA. So let’s talk about this. But first I’m going to talk about product testing. Product testing is really important because the FDA does have standards there and it’s not all about the claims.

So you have to make sure that you’re ticking off the boxes on the safety side. Now back to claims. The advertising claims have to be substantiated. So if you make claims that are just kind of wild and there’s no scientific basis for them, you’re going to get flagged. And there’s certain standards that FDA and FTC have for marketing claims.

And you want to be on top of that and get legal advice. So your claims are going to pass through without undue trouble. And, there are lots and lots of FDA regulations. Again, it’s not like you can just throw something on the market. We have attorneys that I’ve done a deep, deep dive with FDA regulations and they can take you through all these aspects, not just what you’ll get from a vendor who helps you figure out what goes on the label that just can be peeled off. We’ve worked with clients who’ve had, you know, million dollar fines for not complying. They’ve had recalls, they couldn’t get their products to market, had their products taken off the shelf.

So get good FDA legal advice. If you’d like to dive deeper into any of the topics we’ve talked about today, reach out to us.
