FDA TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST DRUG CLAIM COSMETICS

摘要

The US Food and Drag Administration's Centre for Drag Evaluation and Research (CDER) will begin a major enforcement initiative against cosmetic products sporting drug claims that are illegal in the US. According to consultancy firm FDAImports.com, cosmetics with claims including SPF, anti-ageing or anti-wrinke - all classified as drug claims in the US - will be under particular scrutiny. Under FDA regulations all labelling claims must be cosmetic ones; therefore a label saying that a product counteracts, retards or controls the ageing process is considered illegal.
