• Will MoCRA Make Cosmetics & Grooming Products Safer?

  The cosmetics and grooming products industry is like the wild wild West. Until recently, the regulatory system failed to keep consumers safe from toxicants that likely increase their offspring’s “risks of cancer, fertility issues, neurological deficits, and immune dysfunction.” And then came the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022, or MoCRA. Today, we talk about MoCRA with subject matter expert Dahlia Kelada, founder/CEO of TopicalFormulator.com and Salve Naturals & Native Earth. When Congress passed the new law, it did so with the goal to help ensure the safety of multiple cosmetic products many consumers use daily. MoCRA went into effect in late December 2024. Dahlia is a graduate of the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences, where she earned a Master of Science in Health Science with a focus in Integrative Medicine. She has 20+ years of product development/commercialization experience supporting over 80 brands. Salve Naturals is a national all-natural and organic topical medicine company that was the first to make 100% natural, plant-based topical medicines that are registered with the FDA as OTCs. MoCRA is the most significant expansion of U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s authority to regulate cosmetics since the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act was passed in 1938. But how will it effect consumers and producers? ◘ Related Links FDA Press Release: Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) https://bit.ly/42jhyOx New Year, Same MoCRA: FDA Cosmetic Requirements as of January 1, 2025 https://bit.ly/40uc4h4 MoCRA Q&A https://bit.ly/42iTXxn MoCRA Increases FDA Oversight of the Cosmetics Industry https://bit.ly/40IFSYY Dahlia Kelada https://bit.ly/4g3CwEl ◘ Transcript https://bit.ly/3JoA2mz ◘ This podcast features the song “Follow Your Dreams” (freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Ho…ur_Dreams_1918) by Scott Holmes, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (01https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license. ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.
