Launch of the “U.S. Export Cosmetics Label Review” AI Service! Be Sure to Use It When Creating Packaging.

Hello, this is Packative.

If you’re exporting cosmetics to the U.S. or preparing to do so, please pay close attention to this post.👀

Unlike Korea, cosmetics for the U.S. market must comply with FDA regulations for labels, ingredients, and warning statements. If even a small label does not meet the standards, exports may be delayed, so careful review from the packaging development stage is essential.

At Packative, we are making various AI-based efforts to support the digital transformation of the packaging industry. For brand managers, designers, and export preparation teams working on cosmetics for the U.S. market, we’ve launched an AI service called “U.S. Export Cosmetics Label Review” that automatically checks export regulations.🤖💄

When creating cosmetics packaging for the U.S. market, what should you watch out for? feat. required label information

When producing cosmetics packaging for U.S. export, you need to follow the FDA’s labeling requirements. According to FDA regulations, the following information must be shown in English on the cosmetics label.

1. Identity of the Product

  • It must clearly indicate that the product is a cosmetic.
  • Example: Moisturizing cream, Shampoo

2. Net Quantity of Contents

  • The volume or weight must be stated.
  • U.S. customary units should be used first, with metric units added if needed.
  • Example: Net Wt. 4 oz(113g)

3. Ingredients

  • Use INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) names
  • List in descending order of concentration: from highest to lowest
  • Allergens may be highlighted separately if needed

4. Name and Place of Business

  • The company name and address responsible for U.S. distribution are required
  • Example: Distributed by ABC Inc, New York, NY 10001

5. Warnings/Cautions

  • Include as needed depending on the product
  • Example: For external use only, Avoid contact with eyes
