§ 111745 Cosmetic Labeling Prominence Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •Labels on makeup and beauty products must be easy to see and read.
  • •Important info on the label can't be hidden or hard to find.
  • •The words must be clear so anyone can understand them when buying or using the product.

Example

You buy a face cream, and the instructions for safe use are printed in tiny, light gray letters on the back.

This is against the law because the important info isn't easy to see or read. The words should be big and clear so you don't miss them.
