As year-end cosmetic compliance obligations approach, cosmetic companies should review their annual cosmetic product registration and listing requirements. Cosmetic facility registration renewals are biennial and are not tied to the calendar year. The earliest cosmetic facility registrations were submitted in December 2023, when FDA's Cosmetics Direct portal opened. As a result, facility registration renewals are just now coming due. Companies should ensure they are tracking their individual registration anniversaries to prepare for renewal deadlines.
Cosmetic product listings must be updated by the end of December to reflect any changes to product information submitted to FDA during the year. If no changes have occurred since the previous listing was submitted, you have the option of filing an Abbreviated Renewal using Form FDA 5067.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
