Frequently Asked Questions for US Beauty Brands
Direct insights covering international contract manufacturing, regulatory compliance, and cross-border distribution.
Under MoCRA, the brand or domestic importer generally acts as the Responsible Person. Rowe Cosmetics supports your compliance by providing complete quantitative formula breakdowns, safety data sheets (SDS), Certificates of Analysis (COA), GMP facility audit documentation, and technical support for FDA cosmetic product listing and safety substantiation.
In the United States, sunscreens and SPF products are classified and regulated as Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs rather than cosmetics. While we produce laboratory-verified SPF formulations compliant with international cosmetic frameworks, US launches require OTC monograph compliance and specialized regulatory clearance, which must be planned with your regulatory advisor.
Yes. Through our Contract Manufacturing (OEM) services, our cosmetic chemists can execute an exact tech transfer of your existing formulation, reproduce your product using high-purity ingredients, or optimize stability and cost parameters.
Our MOQs are structured flexibly depending on your product type, custom viscosity requirements, and primary packaging selection. We work closely with emerging direct-to-consumer brands, Amazon storefronts, and national retailers to define scalable production batches.
We handle all export-grade crating, pallet wrapping, export customs paperwork, and batch traceability documentation. We coordinate directly with your appointed freight forwarder or customs broker for seamless transit via ocean or air freight into US distribution centers or 3PL facilities.
