Under MoCRA, who is the Responsible Person for a perfume sold in the USA, and what must be on the label?

Under MoCRA, the Responsible Person is the U.S.-based manufacturer, packer, or distributor whose name appears on the cosmetic label (often the brand owner/Amazon seller). The label must identify the Responsible Person and provide a domestic contact (address/phone/email) plus standard cosmetic labeling elements.

Quick Answer (for busy buyers)

Here’s the buyer-first summary. If your brand name is on the label, you usually act as the responsible person and must ensure the listing is submitted and kept current.

  • For a perfume sold in the USA, MoCRA defines the Responsible Person as the entity whose name appears on the label and that is responsible for compliance (manufacturer, packer, or distributor).
  • In practice, this is usually your brand company (or a U.S. distributor you appoint).
  • We can manufacture and support documentation/testing, but we would only be the Responsible Person if our name were the labeled entity.
  • Your label should include: Responsible Person name and place of business (U.S. address) and a domestic contact method for adverse event reporting (phone number, email, or address); product identity (e.g., perfume/eau de parfum); net contents (U.S. customary and metric); ingredient declaration (INCI; fragrance may be listed as “fragrance/parfum”); and any required warnings (e.g., flammability/avoid eyes).
  • A batch/lot code is strongly recommended for traceability.
  • Operationally, LAEYO Labs can provide formula customization and samples, label/IFU copy support, barcode and document packages, and arrange third-party testing with report tracking.
  • Typical timelines: turnkey brand landing 45-60 days; bulk production 10-20 working days; packaging orders 10-30 working days (glass bottle ~15, acrylic ~30; single box ~15, set box ~20).
  • MOQ depends on bottle/cap and carton suppliers; share your target fill size and packaging to quote.
Buyer outcome
A launch-ready compliance plan: inputs collected, roles assigned, and update cadence defined.
