FDA GUIDANCE For the Cosmetic Industry

FDA GUIDANCE
For the Cosmetic Industry

Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Effective December 2023

Being involved with all aspects of FDA compliance, for close to a half-century, we have speculated on when the Congress was going to give the FDA the authority to regulate the cosmetic industry. Recently, the FDA has recieved full autority to regulate the cosmetic industry as the FDA regulates the food, drug and medical device industries.

It is estimated that the new FDA Guidance for Cosmetic Manufacturers, and Distributors, will go into effect beginning December 2023.

The FDA Cosmetic guidance covers many areas of the cosmetic manufacturing and distribution, and should be looked at closely. The FDA provides guidance to the cosmetic industry, and other stakeholders, as to what constitutes Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP’s) for cosmetics. Also, this guidance revises the previously available “Cosmetic Good Manufacturing (GMP) Guidelines / Inspection Checklist” with new updates and clarifications based on recent FDA experience.

NEW: Software Penetration Validation

mdi Consultants now offers software penetration testing to demonstrate full conformance with cybersecurity requirements under ISO 27001 and FD&C Act section 524B “Ensuring Cybersecurity of Medical Devices” for businesses engaged in software usage for their medical devices and other related regulatory products produced under ISO and FDA standards.

Medical devices commonly use cloud-based software, Bluetooth connectivity, and wireless remote controls as methods of operating the equipment and transferring data. These connections expose the devices to the possibility of outside interference, or hacking, which can result in device malfunction or control of the device passing to an unauthorized outside user.

To Whom It May Concern:

How does a small, growing business navigate the FDA medical device registration process?

Short answer – they really don’t, even after hours & hours of research!

mdi Consultants are not only super professional, expedient and amazing at what they do but they are also caring, real humans who made the process of registering our company and medical device with the FDA effortless for us.

Finding mdi Consultants is a great example of why we always look for people to join our Team that can do something we do even better – the mdi team is awesome at what they do and they understand (and patiently explain) the FDA system and processes.

Thank you, mdi Consultants 🙂

Dear Alan,

We want to express our appreciation for MDI’s guidance and assistance in helping us achieve our MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) certification. At this time, the MDSAP process is very new to both the companies wishing to obtain certification and the auditors. Success is only possible with in-depth understanding of all MDSAP requirements and their complete implementation.

The MDI Consultant team worked closely with our staff throughout the entire process providing stable and consistent support. Though there were several unexpected obstacles along the way, you continued to work and support the FEI staff to achieve its goal.

MDI’s professional and timely commitment to helping us achieve the MDSAP certification goal is exemplary. We hope to continue to work with MDI to support the compliant operations of our quality system as well as for other future projects.

Once again, we express our gratitude for your exceptional expertise and experience in ensuring the success of the inspection.
