Video series: Unlocking Regulatory Success for Beauty Brands with Sara Bumby & Cherie Buziak. Episode 5, Key Issues Facing Regulatory Teams with Beauty Brands In this final 3 minute video clip, Sara highlights one of the biggest challenges for regulatory teams: the widespread misunderstanding of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MOCRA). Regulatory teams are particularly busy helping brands navigate MOCRA compliance, ensuring they understand what’s required to meet these new standards. For brands that fall under MOCRA, it’s essential to ensure their products meet the required safety and labeling standards. This includes specific testing for products that come into contact with mucous membranes, such as lubricants. Brands must demonstrate that products are safe for use and comply with all regulatory requirements before being released to the market. #MOCRACompliance #BeautyRegulations #CosmeticIndustry #ProductSafety #RegulatoryChallenges #BeautyStandards #ProductTesting #CosmeticsLaw #BeautyBrands https://lnkd.in/eSD5-q8N

Let’s explore the promise and pitfalls of social media shopping.

Most brands don’t have the luxury of focusing on just one angle—they have to work together, across all fronts, to balance the brand’s dream, the consumer’s needs, and the operational realities. True collaboration is key. When brands, consumers, and operations work in harmony, the result isn’t just a product—it’s perfection. The challenge, and the beauty, lies in finding that balance.
