Why Proper Ingredient Labeling Is Not Optional — It’s the Law
POV: You didn’t label your ingredients properly — and now you’re facing a MoCRA violation.
MoCRA (Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act) is not just another guideline; it is the law. Failing to comply with proper product labeling requirements puts your brand at risk of fines, product recalls, and irreversible damage to your reputation.
What Does MoCRA Require?
To stay compliant and avoid penalties, your cosmetic or skincare product packaging must include:
Accurate and correct ingredient names following the INCI standard (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients);
Clear declaration of net quantity (how much product is inside);
Mandatory warnings or precautionary statements, if applicable;
Contact information of the manufacturer or distributor for consumer inquiries.
Missing or incorrectly labeling any of these elements can lead to serious legal consequences and loss of consumer trust.
Why Is Compliance Important Before Launch?
In today’s beauty industry, trust is everything. Violating labeling regulations can cost you dearly:
Fines and legal actions. Regulators can impose heavy fines and halt your sales.
Product removal from shelves. Non-compliant products can be pulled from physical and online stores.
Loss of brand reputation and consumer trust. Negative reviews and news about violations spread quickly on social media.
That’s why it’s critical to ensure full MoCRA compliance before you launch your product.
