MoCRA compliance for cosmetics brands — without the spreadsheet

The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act put new, ongoing obligations on cosmetics facilities and products. Aleph tracks facility registration renewals, what each product listing still needs, and safety substantiation status in one place — alongside PFAS test reports for the same catalog. You file with FDA yourself, through Cosmetics Direct.

MoCRA didn’t just add a form — it added a calendar

Registration expires on a timer

Facility registration renews every two years, product listings update annually. Miss either and you’re out of compliance with no product change at all — just a date that passed.

Safety substantiation, per product

The responsible person must ensure, and keep records supporting, adequate substantiation of safety for every product (21 U.S.C. 364d(a)). Tracking which products have it, and which don’t, by hand doesn’t scale past a handful of products.

Not the only regulation on your label

Cosmetics sold in the US often face Prop 65 exposure questions and, increasingly, state PFAS laws too. Tracking MoCRA in one tool and everything else in another means nothing talks to anything.

One record per product, every regulation it touches

Facility registration, product listing, and safety substantiation status live next to the product’s other documents, such as PFAS test reports — not in separate systems.

Facility registration tracking

Record your facility registration and its date, and Aleph works out the two-year renewal date — with an in-app alert before it lapses, not after.

Product listing prep

See, for each product, the information an FDA product listing asks for and what’s still missing — including the Responsible Person and the label contact, both easy to lose track of.

Safety substantiation status

Upload the safety assessment, Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR), toxicology reports, and lab results. Aleph’s AI suggests each document’s type for you to confirm, files it under the product, and shows which substantiation documents are still missing.

Cosmetics compliance, in the same platform as everything else

Biennial renewal alerts

Facility registration renews every two years; product listing updates are annual (21 U.S.C. 364c). Aleph alerts you in the app before a facility renewal comes due, so it doesn’t run out silently.

Responsible Person & label contact

A product listing names the Responsible Person, and every cosmetic label must carry contact information for adverse event reports. Aleph flags any product missing either.

Document-driven, not form-driven

Upload your safety assessment, CPSR, tox reports, or lab results — Aleph’s AI reads them and suggests how to file them, and you confirm. Less manual data entry for what’s already on the document.

PFAS reports on the same product

Cosmetics face more than one regulation. Keep PFAS test reports and supplier statements on the same product as its MoCRA records, with expiry alerts.

Substantiation package

Download a substantiation package for a product when FDA asks for records — the documents on file, in one ZIP. Aleph does not submit it to FDA.

Included in every plan

MoCRA is a compliance module like FSVP or CPSIA — no separate fee, no add-on, on any plan. It applies to products you mark as cosmetics.
