§ 111765 Misbranded Cosmetics Prohibition

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't make or sell makeup or skincare that has wrong or fake labels.
  • •The label must tell the truth about what's inside and what it does.
  • •If you lie on the label, you're breaking the law.

Example

A company sells a face cream that says '100% natural' on the label, but it actually has chemicals in it.

This is against the law because the label is lying about what's in the cream. The company could get in trouble for selling it.
