Labeling Concerns For Promotional Products Business • Cosmetics • Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs • Consistency in Principle Display Panel (PDP) Requirements • Statement of Identity • Weight
Facility Registrations • Do I have to register my facility with the FDA? • Only if you manufacture or store OTC drugs. • Complicated process that requires specially registered computer with FDA, with security certificates held by the FDA through FDA’s submission portal
Is it a Drug or a Cosmetic? • Drug is defined as • Products intended to treat or prevent disease, or affect the structure or function of the body. • Examples • Sunscreen • Dandruff Shampoo • Acne treatment • Antiperspirants • Anything that makes a claim to treat or prevent
Cosmetic • Cosmetic is defined as: articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body…for cleansing beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance.” • Doesn’t claim to treat or prevent anything
Cosmetic Continued • Examples • Moisturizers • Perfumes • Lipstick • Fingernail polish • Cleansing shampoos • Hair colors
How Do I tell the Difference? • Drugs make claims. Cosmetics do not. • “Balm” is a claim. Moisturizer is not.” • Can it be both a drug and a cosmetic? Yes • A sunscreen that is also a moisturizer is both a cosmetic and an OTC drug if the moisturizing claim is on the container. • Proper labeling is imperative for FDA compliance
CAUTION Regardless of the size of the container, it must be labeled properly. If you have a lip moisturizer, in a lip balm tube, making an SPF claim-it must be label as an OTC. So, you have to put all of the information on the sunscreen bottle on the label of that lip balm tube.
