Question

Can ingredients sold by MySkinRecipes (intended for cosmetic use) be used as ingredients in dietary supplements for consumption? What are the regulatory considerations?

Answer

Hello,

As the staff previously informed, our company primarily imports and sells ingredients for use in cosmetic products. The use of certain substances as ingredients in dietary supplements for consumption is subject to different regulations and requirements from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compared to their use in cosmetics.

Since the products we sell are not approved for use as ingredients in dietary supplements, and in compliance with FDA regulations, we cannot provide information or advice regarding the use of these substances to make dietary supplements for consumption. The information we have and can provide is related only to the use of these substances in cosmetic products.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
Staff - MySkinRecipes
