Certificate in Cosmetic Labels & Claims

Did you know that ANY cosmetic brand, even small cosmetic brands, are directly responsible for their cosmetic claims, labels and ingredient lists? To ensure compliance, you should seek a Cosmetic Regulatory Consultant to review your ingredient lists, cosmetic label information and marketing materials (including social media posts) - OR -learn to take care of these essential cosmetic compliance requirements for your cosmetic brand.

Did you know:

• Links to external websites cannot contain non-compliant cosmetic claims, even if they are journal reports, historical use of natural substances or testimonials
• Social media posts must comply with cosmetic regulations including any product reviews or testimonials
• Just because another brand has non-compliant cosmetic claims or labels does not exempt you from your compliance obligations
• Being a small cosmetic brand does not exempt you from ensuring cosmetic labels, claims and marketing are compliant
• Customers and competitors can report you to Regulatory Authorities at any time – and you’ll have to act promptly on any action taken which could include instigating a product recall, removing your products from the market, and possibly a fine

The costs of non-compliance are huge to small brand owners – and damaging to your cosmetic brand’s reputation. Study this Certificate program to remove your risk, become compliant, and market your claims and products loud and proud once you know how!
