James Hoadley, "BEAUTY FROM THE INSIDE: Labeling From A Regulatory Perspective"

Cosmetic manufacturers are increasingly taking advantage of the surge of consumer interest in dietary supplements and "functional foods. They" are developing nutritional products with claims that the products enhance beauty from the inside. The claims used on these products are subject to several different FDA rules and companies need guidance to avoid making claims that will put their products at regulatory risk while at the same time communicating the value of their products. This presentation will present a perspective on this rapidly growing area and discuss the current FDA requirements for the kinds of claims often used for "beauty from the inside" products.
