U.S. FDA Shuts Down Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program by Cosmetics & Toiletries
12 July 2023
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shuttered the Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP) on March 27, 2023, taking the industry by surprise, according to one source.
A statement on the VCRP webpage reads:
“The FDA has stopped accepting and processing submissions to the VCRP as a result of [the] FDA’s plans to develop a program for submission of the facility registrations and product listings mandated by the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA).”
