Under MoCRA, who is the responsible person for cosmetic product listing in the USA?

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 MoCRA cosmetic product listing, the Responsible Person is the company whose name appears on the product label (manufacturer, packer, or distributor).
• In a typical OEM/ODM setup where LAEYO manufactures in Guangzhou and you sell in the US under your brand, you (the US brand owner/distributor on-pack) are usually the Responsible Person and should submit the FDA listing.
• Practically, we support you with the technical and documentation inputs needed for your listing and quality file: customized formula development and lab samples, complete ingredient/INCI details, product specs, and coordinated third-party testing with tracked inspection reports.
• We can also support labeling/pack copy (concept positioning, instructions, price list) and provide required business materials such as compliance docs and barcode support.
• Timelines are driven by formula finalization and packaging.
• Typical bulk production is about 10-20 business days, while packaging ordering is often 10-30 business days (e.g., single box 15 days, set box 20; glass bottle 15, acrylic bottle 30, tube 15).
• MOQ depends on formula and pack choice; we will recommend an efficient MOQ once your SKU and packaging are confirmed.
