Discuss Regulatory Support ↗A PRACTICAL APPROACH
Regulatory considerations belong in product development.
Cosmetic compliance is not a final packaging checklist. Ingredient restrictions, product claims, safety documentation, labeling and market-specific obligations can influence decisions from the earliest stages of formulation.
Innova brings together cosmetic formulation, manufacturing experience and regulatory support to help brands prepare products for sale in the United States and the European Union.
We define the scope for each market and coordinate specialist documentation or external assessments where required.
UNITED STATES
US cosmetic regulatory support.
Support for cosmetics entering or operating in the US market, including requirements under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA).
02 / LABEL REVIEW
Cosmetic Label Review
Detailed review of cosmetic labels and packaging copy, including INCI ingredient declarations, mandatory particulars, warnings, net contents, business identification and market-specific requirements.
03 / CLAIMS REVIEW
Cosmetic Claims Review
Assessment of proposed product, ingredient and marketing claims against applicable cosmetic requirements, including claim wording, supporting substantiation and potential drug-claim or misleading-advertising risks.
04 / DOCUMENTATION
Safety & Documentation
Assistance organizing product safety substantiation, manufacturing and quality documentation, and other records relevant to regulatory readiness.
Regulatory responsibilities vary. Applicable obligations depend on the business, product and market role; some entities and products qualify for statutory exemptions. We evaluate project-specific requirements rather than assuming every rule applies universally.
EUROPEAN UNION
European market access, supported from Germany.
Innova supports EU cosmetic compliance through its German office, including Responsible Person services and the preparation or coordination of essential product documentation under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
For brands expanding from the United States into Europe, we help identify differences in ingredients, labeling, safety assessment and notification requirements before market entry.
