Cosmetics legal changes on the way?

Eric F. Greenberg | Attorney-at-Law

Cosmetics are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration with the lightest of touches. But when a Congressional hearing in March examined just how the Food and Drug Administration does what it does, the chances looked good that FDA soon would soon get the power to do more.

Cosmetics are defined in the law as “articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body or any part thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance,” plus components of any such articles, but not including soap. So that’s deodorants, lipsticks, perfumes, shampoos, skin moisturizers, make-up, and hair color, for example.
