Product Labeling & Packaging Compliance for Beauty, Cosmetics & Personal Care Brands

Your product’s presentation isn’t just about shelf appeal—it’s a legal puzzle with high stakes.

From what’s printed on your label, to how your claims are worded, to the amount of space in your container, every detail must comply with FDA/MoCRA and FTC standards. One wrong word can trigger regulatory scrutiny or erode customer confidence. We help beauty, cosmetics, and personal care brands get it right from the start.

Is This For You?

You might need labeling and packaging compliance support if:

You’re launching a new product or refreshing your packaging
You’re preparing to sell online, in salons, or on retail shelves
You want to make claims (like “clean,” “dermatologist-tested,” or “clinically proven”) and aren’t sure what’s allowed
You’re receiving pushback from Amazon, a manufacturer, or a retailer
You’re ready to invest in compliant packaging that avoids misleading volume (like slack fill) and builds consumer trust
You’re scaling and want consistent compliance across SKUs, product categories, and distribution channels

Brands often ask us:

“Can I say ‘natural’ if I don’t have a certification?”
“Do I need to include my distributor’s info on the label?”
“What’s the difference between structure/function and drug claims?”
“How much information has to be on the front vs. back of the package?”
“Is my packaging misleading if there’s a lot of unused space inside?”

We’ve seen the most common mistakes—and we help you avoid them without slowing your go-to-market timeline.

Mini-Blog: When an Ingredient Question Changed Everything

A few years ago, a beauty brand founder reached out with a labeling question that seemed simple on the surface—but wasn't. She was preparing packaging for a skincare product formulated with a novel synthetic vitamin. Her manufacturer / chemist wanted it listed a certain way. The beauty founder wasn’t sure it was legally correct.

She did the right thing: she came to us first.

The catch? The research needed to confidently answer her question—one that blended cosmetic labeling law with evolving ingredient science—would take a few hours. As a flat-fee service, it would have cost close to $1,000. And because the labeling issue stemmed from a third-party partner, she couldn’t justify the cost. We were both stuck.

I remember sitting with that moment.
Realizing how broken the system was.

Legal support shouldn’t be reserved for large brands with deep pockets. And lawyers shouldn’t have to choose between helping their clients or protecting their own time and business model. I knew there had to be a better way.

That moment is part of why tmalaw looks the way it does today.
We built our pricing model and Momentum Mapping™ so questions like these don’t become dead ends.

With a service plan in place:

Our clients don’t have to choose between “do I ask this question?” and “can I afford the answer?”
We can explore new compliance territory without delay—and build reusable knowledge that benefits every client.
Beauty founders pushing boundaries aren’t punished for innovating—they’re supported in doing it right.

That founder’s question didn’t get answered that day. But it sparked something better: A model designed for modern beauty brands, built with modern legal support.
