Today's consumer product companies face a tremendous task of bringing newer, better products into the market within a much shorter time frame. A successful market entry strategy often incorporates complex configuration of consumer trend analysis, scientific know-how, efficiency in product development and supply chain management. It is also essential to factor in regulatory feasibility analysis early in the game to avoid unexpected, last minute delay in product launch.

Cosmetic products marketed in the US are regulated under the authority of the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The regulations pertinent to cosmetic products are published in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, in particular, parts 700 to 740. In addition, new legislation such as the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011 is emerging and may lead to more stringent requirements in the foreseeable future.

This course provides an in-depth guide to the US cosmetic legislative framework. Key focus is placed on helping the participants to successfully navigate both existing cosmetic regulations and anticipated future legislation. A brief overview of international regulations will be given to help the participants develop global perspectives. Workshops with actual case studies will be conducted throughout the course to bring the participants closer to the reality of marketing cosmetic products in the US.
