Navigating TikTok's FDA Requirements: Beauty & Cosmetics

Are you a beauty and cosmetics brand looking to expand your reach on TikTok? If so, you need to be aware of a critical requirement: FDA registration. TikTok is serious about product safety, and they've implemented a policy that requires sellers of certain products to provide proof of FDA registration. This is crucial for ensuring your products meet the necessary safety standards and for building trust with consumers.

Why TikTok Requires FDA Registration for Beauty Products

TikTok's policy is designed to protect consumers from potentially harmful or mislabeled products. The FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) plays a vital role in regulating the cosmetic industry, and an FDA registration is a key step for manufacturers, importers, and repackers. By requiring this documentation, TikTok ensures that products sold on its platform have a verified origin and are associated with a registered establishment.

What You Need for Your FDA Registration Proof

According to TikTok, when you submit your FDA certificate or registration proof, it must include specific information to be considered valid. This ensures the document is legitimate and directly linked to your business. The required details are:

• Name of establishment: This must match with the FDA registration portal. Consistency is key!
• Physical address of establishment: The complete physical address of the registered facility.
• Operation type of establishment: This specifies the type of business operation, such as manufacturer, or processor.
• Registration number: The unique number assigned to your establishment by the FDA.
• Active status: The FDA registration must be current and active at the time you submit it to TikTok.
