Packages must be branded accurately.<\/p>\n<p>Seems fairly simple, right?\u00a0 Well, what actually constitutes an accurately branded package?\u00a0\u00a0 An accurately branded package avoids the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>False or misleading labels<\/li>\n<li>A label that omits the name and address of the manufacturer, filler, or distributor<\/li>\n<li>A label that doesn\u2019t state the net quantity of what is in the package, or the fill size is misrepresented<\/li>\n<li>The required information is not stated prominently on the package<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, the FD&amp;C says a package is branded inaccurately if an ordinary individual reads a package and does not see the claim, statement or word with prominence and does not clearly take away the information they have deemed most pertinent.<\/p>\n<p>When creating your package, avoid major FDA faux pas by running your package through the following checklist:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Are the panels of the package large enough to convey the required information in a size that is visible and legible?<\/li>\n<li>Is the type of the required minimum size?<\/li>\n<li>Are the colors contrasted enough for easy readability of the package?<\/li>\n<li>Do any design elements obscure the necessary information of the package?<\/li>\n<li>Are your claims in keeping with regulations?\u00a0 Do they suggest a physical and not a physiological benefit to consumers?\u00a0 A cosmetic becomes a drug when it claims to have physiological benefits, and drug packages have a different set of regulations.<\/li>\n<li>Does the principle display panel (PDP) contain all the required information?\u00a0 Note: the PDP regulations change depending on the shape of the package.<\/li>\n<li>Do your ingredients, warning statements, and fill sizes meet the minimum required size regulations?<\/li>\n<li>Are your ingredients in descending order and written in their commonly recognized names?<\/li>\n<li>Does the name and business address of the manufacturer or distributor appear on the label?<\/li>\n<li>Are you using the correct language with your weight statement?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For more information of cosmetic packaging regulations please visit fda.gov<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FDA has put several measures in place to protect consumers from false or misleading representations on cosmetic packaging.
