FDA approved creams/lotions - regulations??

Question

hi, i need to know if i want to make a face cream, that can be sold over the counter in a pharmacy, and claim it's anti-aging, or anti-wrinkles, do i NEED to get it FDA approved?? when MUST you get FDA approval? thanks SO much for any help!!

Answer 1

It'll only need FDA approval if it has an active medicinal agent in the cream. Most of the anti-aging creams don't work any better than regular mosturizer.

Answer 2

of course you need FDA approval,

you make a creme using CAS ingredients and sell it, but to claim any medical usage it must bee proven and aproved by the FDA
