US Cosmetic Ingredient Review
Our US cosmetic ingredient review service evaluates cosmetic formulations to support compliance with United States cosmetic regulations, including FDA requirements and California Proposition 65 considerations. This review helps brands identify potential regulatory and disclosure risks before products enter the U.S. market.
Because cosmetic regulation in the United States is driven by ingredient safety and transparency, reviewing formulations early plays a critical role in risk management. Therefore, a thorough ingredient review helps reduce the likelihood of reformulation, labeling changes, or downstream compliance issues.
What Is a US Cosmetic Ingredient Review?
A US cosmetic ingredient review examines each component of a formulation against applicable U.S. regulatory requirements. The review evaluates whether ingredients are suitable for cosmetic use, whether restrictions apply, and whether additional compliance considerations may be triggered.
Cosmetics in the United States are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. In addition, products sold in California may be subject to California Proposition 65, which requires warnings for certain chemicals associated with cancer or reproductive harm.
California Proposition 65 Considerations
As part of this review, we identify ingredients that may appear on the California Proposition 65 chemical list. While Proposition 65 is a state-level requirement, it often affects national product launches because many brands distribute products in California.
This screening helps brands determine whether further evaluation, exposure assessment, or warning considerations may be necessary. Oversight of Proposition 65 is administered by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
What the Review Includes
Our ingredient review typically includes:
-
Evaluation of each ingredient for cosmetic suitability
-
Identification of prohibited or restricted substances
-
Screening for California Proposition 65–listed chemicals
-
Assessment of concentration-based limitations, where applicable
-
Identification of potential labeling or disclosure considerations
-
Clear documentation supporting compliance review
In addition, we provide practical regulatory context to help brands understand how ingredient choices may affect market access.
Products Commonly Reviewed
US cosmetic ingredient reviews are commonly requested for:
-
Skin care and personal care products
-
Hair care and cleansing formulations
-
Cosmetic sticks, balms, and oils
-
Products preparing for national or California market launch
Because ingredient requirements differ across regions and states, a combined FDA and Proposition 65 review supports more confident product decisions.
