US cosmetic label review helps manufacturers confirm that product labels meet U.S. regulatory requirements before sale or distribution. At Pentyl Labs, we review cosmetic and personal care labels to support FDA compliance and reduce regulatory risk. This service helps brands move to market with greater confidence.
Because labeling errors can delay launches or trigger enforcement action, early review plays a critical role in product readiness. As a result, many companies treat label review as a standard step before release.
During a US cosmetic label review, we examine required label elements under U.S. cosmetic regulations. We focus on clarity, accuracy, and consistency with current FDA expectations.
Our review typically includes:
Ingredient declarations using proper INCI names and order
Product identity statements
Net quantity of contents
Business name and place of business
Required warnings and caution statements
Claim language that may raise regulatory concerns
By reviewing labels as presented, we help identify issues that may require revision before printing or distribution.
US cosmetic label review is recommended at several stages of the product lifecycle. For example, brands often request review:
Before a first U.S. product launch
After formulation or ingredient changes
When updating marketing or on-pack claims
For private label or contract-manufactured products
Prior to retailer or distributor submission
In addition, many companies use label review to document due diligence as part of broader compliance programs.
In the United States, the FDA regulates cosmetic labeling under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Label requirements appear in 21 CFR Parts 701 and 740 and are supported by FDA guidance documents.
Although cosmetics do not require premarket approval, labels must comply with applicable requirements at the time of sale. Therefore, manufacturers often reference FDA cosmetic labeling guidance when preparing or reviewing labels.
At Pentyl Labs, we provide practical US cosmetic label review services with clear, actionable feedback. We focus on identifying potential risks while helping clients understand available options.
Ultimately, our goal is to support compliant labeling and smoother product launches. Many clients also combine label review with regulatory compliance testing or safety assessments to build complete documentation.
