Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FDA regulations for cosmetics prohibit the manufacture, distribution, or sale of adulterated or misbranded cosmetics. This means that cosmetics must be safe for use and properly labeled. However, the FDA does not require pre-market approval of cosmetic products, nor do they certify that they are free from carcinogens. Additionally, ordinary household soap is exempt from FDA regulation as a cosmetic, as it is considered a "true soap" and not a cosmetic. The "CRUELTY-FREE" label is not required by the FDA, but may be used voluntarily by companies who choose not to test their products on animals.
