From initial samples to final packaging, we integrate compliance into every stage to help you avoid delays, rework, and costly regulatory issues before launch.

Frequently asked questions
What is MoCRA and how does it affect my brand?
MoCRA, the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act, is a federal law requiring U.S. cosmetic brands to register facilities and list products with the FDA. If you sell cosmetics in the United States, you must comply. Vaulabs guides brands through facility registration and product listing support.
Is FDA compliance included in your services?
Yes. Compliance is built into our formulation, labeling and production workflows rather than sold as a separate project. That covers INCI-based ingredient formatting, label review, claims review and MoCRA guidance, which avoids delays, rework and regulatory problems found after a product is already printed and filled.
Can you verify marketing claims like clean or vegan?
Yes. We review claims for accuracy and legal defensibility, including clean, vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, non-toxic and sensitive skin safe. Each claim is checked against what the formula and its documentation actually support, so wording on the label can be defended to a retailer or a regulator.
Do I need to conduct testing for FDA compliance?
Testing is not required for every cosmetic, but it is strongly recommended for stability, safety and packaging compatibility. Vaulabs offers optional third-party testing to support compliance and retail readiness. Most retailer and marketplace onboarding asks for that documentation even where federal law does not.
Do you register my facility and products with the FDA?
We support FDA facility registration and MoCRA product listing. Vaulabs is itself an FDA-registered manufacturer, and we help brands navigate their own obligations. Alongside registration we coordinate INCI verification, label compliance review, and SDS and COA documentation for retail and marketplace onboarding.
What does a compliant U.S. cosmetic label include?
A compliant label uses correct INCI nomenclature, lists ingredients in the required order, and carries required information in the correct layout under U.S. cosmetic regulations and MoCRA expectations. We review every label for those elements and for marketing claims before artwork is approved for print.
When should compliance work start?
Compliance should be built in from the first sample, not checked at the end. We align formulation, labeling and documentation with current requirements from initial samples through final packaging. Starting later usually means reformulation, reprinted labels or a delayed launch once a retailer reviews the documentation.
Are you an FDA-registered manufacturer?
Yes. Vaulabs is an FDA-registered manufacturer operating from Clearwater, Florida. Our facility is NSF-certified under NSF/ANSI 455-2 (certificate C0681369-HSCDS-5, valid through May 27, 2027); certification to the cosmetics standard NSF/ANSI 455-3 is planned at our next audit. Registration with the FDA is a filing obligation for the facility, and it is not the same thing as FDA approval of a cosmetic product, which does not exist. ### JSON-LD
