Question
When contracting MySkinRecipes for cosmetic manufacturing, what is the process for FDA registration, especially regarding using my own brand name versus the MySkinRecipes brand? How should I submit a "secret formula," and do I need to provide mixing instructions? Will the R&D team make adjustments to the formula, and will I be notified? Where can I find information about packaging options?
Answer
Based on the information provided:
- The FDA registration obtained through contract manufacturing is under the manufacturer's brand, "MySkinRecipes".
- You can sell the product under this registration. If you submit a "secret formula", your specific formulation will be exclusive to you under the MySkinRecipes brand.
- To sell under your own brand name (different from MySkinRecipes), you would likely need to apply for a new FDA registration under your brand.
- Regarding "secret formulas" and mixing instructions: You do not need to provide mixing steps. The R&D team will determine the correct procedure and make necessary adjustments to the formula if needed (e.g., for ingredient compatibility). The staff mentioned that the R&D team will not notify you of these changes.
