FDA, Stopped Accepting Submissions to the Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP)

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stopped accepting submissions to the Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP) effective March 27, 2023.

FDA used the information from the VCRP to assist it in carrying out its responsibility to regulate cosmetics marketed in the U.S. It was not an approval system.

Because MoCRA (Modernization of Cosmetics regulation Act of 2022) requires certain companies to register their facilities and list their products with FDA, stopped VCRP program.

Information in the VCRP will not be transferred to the program being developed for facility registrations and product listings mandated by MoCRA.

FDA is developing a system for submission of the facility registrations and product listings mandated by MoCRA and will provide further updates on its forthcoming availability.
