Hair, body & oral care, deodorant & OTC products
US personal care is a $93B market. The regulatory landscape divides products between cosmetics (FDA OTC drug rules don't apply) and OTC drugs (dandruff shampoo, sunscreen, acne products). Getting the classification right at entry is critical — OTC drug products require FDA monograph compliance or NDA approval.
Regulatory Overview
Personal care products are regulated as cosmetics or OTC drugs under FDA authority. Cosmetics: no pre-market approval, but MoCRA (2022) introduces mandatory safety substantiation. OTC drugs (sunscreen, anti-dandruff, acne): must comply with FDA drug monographs or obtain NDA approval. 'Hypoallergenic' and 'dermatologist tested' claims have no FDA definition and face FTC scrutiny.
