MoCRA has ushered in a new era of government oversight for the cosmetics industry with a very short compliance timeline. Despite a six-month enforcement reprieve, the pressure on industry remains and the clock is ticking.
Although MoCRA's enforcement deadline has been moved to July 1, 2024, the urgency remains for companies to update their compliance measures in accordance with FDA requirements and newly released guidance. Adherence to MoCRA's standards is not just a regulatory imperative, but a key driver for fostering consumer confidence across the industry. Attend this event and receive the critical information you need to ensure you are on time and MoCRA ready.
For the last several years, the cosmetics and personal care industries have been targeted in state legislative initiatives focusing on enhanced consumer safety, ingredient transparency, and sustainability. It does not appear that this trend will stop anytime soon. States such as California, Washington, Maine, and Ohio are actively driving reforms and intensifying regulations on PFAS and other contaminants in cosmetic products and their packaging. We will examine this evolving trend and provide insights on these and other key area of state legislative focus.
Since we last met, the FTC has released its finalized new Endorsement Guides as well as a proposed Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials. It is critical that cosmetics companies adhere to these latest regulatory guidances when making claims about their products in advertising. Join us to ensure your marketing practices comply with these new guidelines.
As the cosmetics industry continues to adopt AI and other advanced technologies in the development and promotion of its products, there is a growing need to address data privacy concerns. With the rise of digital personalization tools and other data-driven innovations, it is critical that companies prioritize data privacy and security to protect their customers' sensitive information.
The cosmetics and personal care industries continue to be plagued by class action litigation stemming from alleged product performance, false advertising, and labeling practices. Obtain the tactical tools needed to combat these attacks by the plaintiff’s bar.
We invite you to join us in NYC this March to meet and reconnect with colleagues and acquire invaluable insights to surmount the latest challenges facing the cosmetics and personal care community today.
We look forward to seeing you this spring!
